Wally Motloch

Wally Motloch brought along a very interesting set of projects to the 2015 Vectric User Group Meeting for everyone to enjoy. With a large selection of parts to view it was evident that Wally is not only creative but likes to push the software and techniques to create things he hasn’t seen before. Now retired (from designing prosthetics) at 71 years of age, Wally has swapped working on cross-word puzzles for a copy of Vectric's Aspire and decided to spend his spare time creating some mind-bending designs. Wally has always been a traditional craftsman but wanted a way to make his wood carvings and other projects look even better. Armed with a CNC Shark HD2, a belt sander, a huge selection of hand tools and a copy of Vectric’s Aspire his main aim now is to have as much fun creating things from wood as possible.

Since starting to use CNC technology Wally has found that his work has higher levels of precision and that he is able to produce work in a shorter amount of time, leaving more time for finishing – as you can see from the images below that is time well spent. As long as Wally can get his hands on some material, whether that be from scavenging it from the outdoors or ordering it online he says he will continue to create even more crazy and unconventional projects.

So you can get a taste of the projects Wally has created, we though it was only right that we showcased a gallery of his work below. Ranging from a 3D wooden version of his own face to a wooden knot, we are sure you will find something to get your creative juices flowing. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Wally for taking the time out to provide us with pictures and some background to his work.
