maybe it’s because I just don’t normally search for that sort of thing but bing and duckduckgo failed the safe search test, google knew what I wanted even on image search probably since they have all my search history to know what I’m likely after… So what sort of searches have you been doing?

Heh…
Pure extrapolation. I never actually searched the term.
but being curious, I just searched, and it was pretty benign. A bunch of magazine covers from the 70s by a publication that has nothing to do with phillips-head fasteners, but they didn’t show up until the second or third page of results.

well I’m lazier than you. I stopped at either the first eye full or screen full.
Sorry I just saw that you had asked a question on this. My method for the medals was to take a black pen and trace the medals onto a white sheet of paper. Then scan and do a image trace in illustrator. The ribbon portion of the medal was done by measuring when pulled tight. There was also a layer of acrylic with groves cut for the pin portion to sit. So the top would be fixed and the medal would be fixed. This kept everything held tight. I used the same process for the pins, except I trimmed off the posts so they would lay flat. I couldn’t think of a scenario where any of this stuff would every leave the 2 displays so I was willing to modify a few items to make them display cleanly.
This is a very beautiful display of your grandfather’s awards. I look forward to my Glowforge arriving so that I can make something similar for myself. Great work!
Both are so beautiful! Great job.
wow this is amazing! wish I can find the rest of my grandfathers medals and make something like this for them. He also received that WWII medal and ribbon.
