This is a T-Shirt I created using the vinyl cutter to create a "screen". The process is the reverse of "normal" weeding. Removing all of the material that you would normally leave in order to create the negative of what you would like on your shirt. In this example I applied the vinyl directly to the shirt.

I choose to make my music box on the shop bot using a tab and slot idea. I also like the look of inlays, so I created pockets using the 1.5 inch flat mill.

This is the same side as pictured above with the tile inlay placed. Each side has one 6in x 6in tile. The top has three placed together with one design etched across the three of them. The front and back have two 6in x 6in tiles with the same pattern etched across both. | |||

Fab Lab Boot Camp 2011 What a week. Crash course indeed. Below are the images of the projects I have completed (Files to follow soon)
My name is Joshua Best. I am the coordinator for Incite Focus, a program that takes place at Blanche Kelso Bruce Academy, a school in Detroit, Michigan. We operate our Fab Lab in conjunction with a solar focus, a permaculture focus, and an experiential education focus.

I choose to make my music box on the shop bot using a tab and slot idea. I also like the look of inlays, so I created pockets using the 1.5 inch flat mill. Wanting to incorporate as many of the machines as I could I chose to laser ceramic tiles as the inlays for the top, front, back, and sides. It gave the box a great look that will get better as I stain it.
This is the same side as pictured above with the tile inlay placed. Each side has one 6in x 6in tile. The top has three placed together with one design etched across the three of them. The front and back have two 6in x 6in tiles with the same pattern etched across both.
