Master Gardener 50th Anniversary Home & Garden

I did this project to give tribute to a recipient of the "Golden Trowel Award". Sounds a bit like the Masonic Temple but they are not connected at all. This particular Master Gardener group is affiliated with Washington State University, thus the color scheme that represents the school colors of WSU Cougars. I downloaded the png images and included them so you could see how they began. These images are freely shared by the university but I make no claim that they are not protected by copyright laws if you were to produce for monetary gain. The original image had little ability to be cut out with a plasma cutter so you will see how I provided support for the image in the dxf file. They had an SVG file that had many errors with the lettering, as far as Fusion 360 was concerned. The actual primary body, shown in the final picture, is 18.7 inches across. The red disc providing background was riveted in place, securing a hanging cord of 1/8 in stainless wire cable in the back. Rivets were 1/4 inch in diameter. 3/16 inch would be a better fit. Both pieces of metal were cut out of 16 gauge mild steel and painted with Rustoleum Universal paint (primer + paint). I only marked this as "Intermediate" because the CAM will require single line and small areas where you will not be able to fit a lead in or lead out, so multiple tool paths will probably be required. SheetCAM might handle this fine so then it would be considered "beginner" level. Obviously, I supplied the image without the personal references added on the outer rim. In Fusion 360 or Inkscape you can add you own names or personalization with Text on a line/curve.
