After making the flag shaped like the United States, I wanted to do a couple more projects with that HDPE material. Since I had some red/white/red left over, I bought a sheet of black/white/black and pulled out my vector drawing of the Martin Luther College athletics logo. It was a relatively easy job to set up except that I was trying to maximize my use of a scrap piece, and since the material is so expensive, I didn’t have any extra. Any error would scrap the whole project.
Thankfully it all came out smoothly. Gluing the two pieces together was tricky because almost nothing adheres to this, but I did find an epoxy that works pretty well. It’s not an unbreakable bond, but I think it will be ok for a sign hanging on the wall.
I have one more HDPE project planned, but you’ll have to check back later to see that. You can also follow my woodworking Instagram account @martenswoodworks. Feel free to leave angry comments about how this is not a woodworking project.
