Nothing earth shattering here. Just a little something to give you project ideas. Maybe even for Father’s Day. I had designed some logos for friends’ home bars and got the idea of making some novelty drink tokens for them. One of them is for a Banker that I used to work with and is still one of my best friends. He likes to entertain at home and may even hand these out to his good customers (ones that he knows would appreciate an adult beverage). This was a good way to show my friends the “WOW” factor of the . Now they appreciate all my babbling about “when my laser gets here” that they had to persevere.
Phone numbers are blanked out. If you can find their place, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind Glowstrangers dropping in, just say Bill sent you. I just don’t think they’d appreciate random phone calls. The Walnut plywood engraves best with the darkest color setting. The Maple was done at one of the medium settings. They are about 1 3/4 inches in diameter.
This pic probably really belongs in the Show & Tell section, but it ties into the Banker’s Vault token. This was a blah white fridge that was painted with matte black chalk paint. I cut the gold vinyl designs on my Silhouette Cameo and applied them. Then the fridge was lightly waxed to protect the chalk paint. The safe dial is a $9 magnetic Retro Kitchen Timer from Amazon. It sucks as a timer, but makes a great safe dial.
What a great idea! I’m thinking Items like these are perfect for laser gatherings with your friends where everybody wants to do a little item. They don’t take a lot of time, and are so personal and one of a kind.
WHAT?!?!? I love this! Damn the boring/actually nice looking stainless fridge we recently bought. Should have kept the old one and done something cool like you did to it.
@bill_laba I love the Tokens but I Absolutely love the Fridge / Safe. I have a small refrigerator that is soon going to be a safe. Not quite sure which one of these to buy.
