Customer wanted a unique gift for her husband that loved Mustangs. I came up with this designed and put it to my custom coolers that I create.
First, I develop the design in Creative space. I take a picture of the design and send it to the potential customer for their approval. Once approved, I select the type of cooler that the customer would like. I then take all the measurements for that cooler and custom cut it the cedar wood according to the measurements.
My legs are 36" high.
I then assemble the wood around the cooler using 1-inch nails with a nail gun. I leave the front and top off the cooler off until I laser the image on them.
I then take the cedar, and carefully put it into the xtool - p2 laser with the front open due to the size of the wood.
I then measure the center of the area, and by judging what I what I think looks good.
I then start the lasering process.
I first did the mustang and ignoring for Ford icon. Once completed, I put the top cedar into the laser.
I hen, ignore the mustang image and enable the Ford Icon. Then laser that onto the cedar.
Once all the engraving has been done, I go back to the cooler and attach the top and front using a nail gun.
I then treat the cedar wood with Valspar to protect it from the elements.
Deliver to customer.
