How to Make a Mud Flap Girl - I Made It at TechShop Www.techshop.ws

I have seen these mud flap girls all over the place and really wanted to make my own.  Now that I am a TechShop member it was the first thing I wanted to do.  I took the laser cutter / engraver class last night and with a little help from another guy who was working on a project I was able to make a mud flap girl. 

Step one; do your best artist rendition of a mud flap girl. 

Step 2 is to set the height of the deck in the machine then then let it go and cut her out. 

Sadly; the laser does not cut through metal....  Me and at least one other person in the class thought it did....    Anyway; it is made out of press board...  I am still proud of it; but need to take the water jet class to actually make one I can put on my mud flaps.

I made it at TechShop.
