Nominations are open for this week’s Project of the Week (PotW) and Community Gardener (CG) awards. You can nominate simply by replying to this thread. Self-nominations are allowed. The selected project will be highlighted in the Maslow newsletter. The user will receive a “Project of the Week” or “Community Gardener” badge on the forums, a cold hard tungsten carbide prize from Bar and Hannah, and an immediate “Hurrah” from @Jayster. The approximate weekly schedule is: nominations close no earlier than Saturday, voting Sunday & Monday, announcement Tuesday. After nominations from the community have been made, I’ll post a poll for the community to pick a winner. If we don’t get enough nominations, I will randomly select projects from previous weeks’ nominations, the back issues of the Maslow newsletter, Made on Maslow, and of course the Community Garden website to appear in a poll. Projects that don’t win in a poll can be renominated on subsequent weeks. Any project can only win once, but any person can win multiple times. What makes a PotW? It can be a project (old or new) made on a Maslow CNC that shows off the Maslow’s capabilities, or demonstrates a new way of using the Maslow, or just plain looks cool. There is also a Maslow Community Contributor of the Week for great contributions to the Maslow community, which is run by TheRiflesSpiral; nominations which better fit that award will be forwarded to him. What makes a Community Gardener? It can be anyone who creates or contributes to a project on the Community Garden website ([http://maslowcommunitygarden.org/](http://maslowcommunitygarden.org/)). By posting to the CG, you make the project available to the community and you create the opportunity for other users to improve on your design. Vote however you like, but I hope to encourage collaborative projects. Final note: like most things here on the forums, the community is what makes PotW/CG successful. Suggestions for improving the PotW/CG and volunteers to help run the thread are always welcome. ---

Wooden mandalas > [@Wooden Mandalas](https://forums.maslowcnc.com/t/wooden-mandalas/4892): > > Hi! My girlfriend asked me if I could make a wooden mandala on the Maslow, so that she could paint it. I thought this could be a good opportunity to test the engraving and trace features on Fusion 360, so I made these mandalas. I was very pleased with the end result. Awesome machine! Awesome possibilities! The engraving on the first one came out a bit burnt but this actually makes me think: is there a special tool for Engraving/burning? Is it a very bad idea just to use over-speed? ---

Ugh, I just realized I missed arne2050’s Toybox with a Rabbit for the PotW. Discourse won’t let me change a poll after a very short time, so I can’t fix it. I’m going to save that one for next week. Apologies @arne2050! ---

It was a short poll period this week–sorry for those who didn’t get to vote–but the votes we got yielded clear winners. Strolling through the Community Garden, the Cat House was a clear favorite. For Project of the Week, Jose\_Miguel\_Giraldez’s My Son’s Bed took the prize. Great projects to choose from, keep 'em coming!
