Russian Workshop Warning Plaque

A tongue-in-cheek workshop warning sign, carved in deep relief — and written in Russian. The plaque is a rounded-corner rectangle framed by a raised border. A banner across the top reads ВНИМАНИЕ! ("Attention!"), the middle line warns Руками не трогать! ("Do not touch with your hands!"), and the base carries Возможно получение серьёзных травм ("serious injury possible"). Between the text sit three carved pictograms: a boxed icon of a 3D printer stamped "3D", and two stick figures — one swinging an arm, the other tumbling backwards — the universal, slightly comic language of "hands off my machine". This is a made-for-the-maker-den plaque, ideal hung above a printer, over a bench or on a workshop door as a bit of hobbyist humour with a genuine safety nudge. Carving notes: • Designed as a CNC bas-relief: a fine ball-nose bit brings out the lettering and figures, a larger bit clears the field. • Cuts beautifully in a close-grained hardwood, MDF or a machinable board; the raised text takes paint or gilding wax well. • On a 3D printer, lay it flat and print text-side up for the cleanest letter edges. • A light sand across the raised faces, leaving the recesses dark, makes the message pop.
