All done... Ish. Decided it's going to be a horizontal display for my desk at work. Conversation starter 😂

Outer layer is cut and magnets are being placed. Once the adhesive cures the film will be removed and it will almost be ready for display.
Finished cutting all of the plexiglass inserts that sit between the card and the outer cover making the cards appear flush while still being protected.

All of the cards I needed to make my #FF7 Magic the Gathering display have now been acquired and the base plate is done. Next is cutting plexiglass.

Progress on the queer battle vest. Got a few more patches in queue to attach.

Cut the leather patch for my queer battle vest. Still have a few more to attach. Decided to leave this one natural.

The base layer with some of the cards intended for the final display and others being placeholders. The whole bottom row minus Jenova is due to be swapped soon actually.

If you, like me, are trying to use a #Gorton family single-stroke typeface with a #Glowforge laser cutter (or a #CNC machine or a #Cricut or whatever), and you'd like an easy way to do type layout while keeping everything in the single-stroke vector space, it turns out there is a solution for that (!!): https://msurguy.github.io/cnc-text-tool/
If all of the above is gibberish but you're curious, basically, here's the thing:
- most vector drawing tools (I use #AffinityDesigner) will happily open & use TrueType or OpenType fonts, but their model of a "font" is typically "a closed outline stroke with a fill"
- things like laser cutters and CNC machines love paths/strokes, but they don't grok "fill" (or, in the case of modern laser cutters, they do, but it's finicky and you have to do a lot of trial-and-error tweaking to get the stroke & the fill working together so that the type renders like you want it to)
- there are quite a few sources for single-path SVGs of classic engraving fonts (including Fedi's favorite, #Gorton) but if you want to actually lay out words instead of single characters . . . lotta manual work
- the web application I linked above solves **this specific problem** by letting you do text layout, and then it outputs a single SVG that you can import into your CNC software or into your vector drawing software for integration into your designs

More pictures of the D&D dice bag! One of my favorite functional projects.

The D&D chest is almost done, I need to cut some reinforcement pieces but haven't had the chance to do so yet.

Some fun recent projects, trying to get back in the crafting mood again. It's been a while since I heard the call of the muse.
