Today Alex and I finished his Pinewood Derby car for Cub Scouts. He designed it on paper and then we went to the Anderson's hardware department a few weeks ago where they cut out his shape with a power saw. We sanded it and painted it. Alex hammered in the wheels. The steering wheel is a recycled wheel from another toy car. Alex applied the decals that Becky found for him. The car was a little lighter than the limit, so to make it speedier, we screwed 4 screws into the bottom to make it heavier. He was thrilled to make something like this that works from his own design. His pack race is in a few days, and then the district wide race is in a few weeks so he can put it to the test.
