Here is my first self created project. I’m on day 2 of ownership. I did an escutcheon (sp?) For our forge. Drew the button hole and triangular outline in Alibre Design (a parametric program like Fusion 360, but I think it’s better, though it is not free). The graphics and text were added in inkscape. 13 min cut time on PG maple hardwood.
“Excandesco” is the name of our glowforge. In Latin it means “to glow white hot”. The other words, from left to right, mean create(ive) and science/technology. The animals are each of our favorites.
Well, literally it’s “I am glowing white hot” (or “I catch fire” or “I am burning with rage”) … which is just as good but the present active infinitive (to glow) is “excandescere”
“partum” would be “having been created” (as a perfect participle of the verb “pario”) or “of parts” (genitive plural of the 3rd declension noun “pars”) or “gains/acquisitions/savings” (2nd declension noun “partum”) or “offspring” (the accusative form of the 4th declension noun “partus”) … for “creative” I’d go with “artifex” (which means “skilled” and “artistic” as well as “creative”). There’s also “creativus”(masc.)/“creativa”(fem.) and “effectivus”/“effectiva” but those are both quite rare.
“scientiea” … I don’t know about that one. “scientia” is Latin for “science” (or “knowledge” or “skill”). I haven’t run across “scientiea” but I suppose it could be an unusual variant. But I’m assuming typo.
