the car

Today was a fun day. It was Pinewood Derby day! Red Hill hosted for neighboring churches.
Rodney was supposed to make a car, but just didn't have the time to do it. So, I volunteered my expert services! Ha!! This was my first one actually.

I began with a perfect rectangle....which I neglected to photograph. I got this far with my mitre saw and a drill. (There was the same amount of wood in front of the front axel as there is behind the back one.... before I lopped it off with my big saw.)


Then I made a phone call and borrowed a dremmel and a sander. Here I finally got the shape right and a few coats of paint on.



The front view in all it's tinfoil glory.

Finally finished!


Making the church bus was Rodney's idea. It was so much fun!


I clipped the actual license plate from a picture. The font size on the back door is a size 6 and 4.
