Camping Plaque

 This is a Sue Mey Pattern I modified to have our last name rather than Welcome. Pattern is available here Happy Campers. It is cut from baltic birch plywood 1/4" for the backer and 1/8" for the design. I have used two finishes on this which I usually don't do. I put my favorite Watco Natural Danish Oil. Then after a few days I put Bullseye Shellac on since this will be outside when we are camping. I figure chances are greater it might get damp and might  as well put it on.


The logo I put on with my 3500mw Neje laser engraver. Which I love since it is customized for every use. I just have to modify the graphic with the month year and let it run. I can choose just about any size up to 5.9" (150mm). It is a cheap laser engraver not a cutter so it works for how I use it. I set this one for 3 inches when I printed it.

When you can't buy you print

We bought a Fifth Wheell RV and while the RV is nice. Space is a premium. 



So in the bathroom the counter is very small and what do you do with a bar of soap. We looked everywhere for a simple small soap dish. It is just something that you can't find. Oh there are plenty of fancy expensive bar soap dishes but they are all quite large and just not what we wanted.


So what the heck. Just print one up on the 3D Printer. You get everything you want. Size shape and colors.
