Countdown to the Derby!

The Pinewood Derby construction has begun! We went to the cubscout store this weekend to buy the kit. Today J drew the shape he wanted on the side with a pencil. Dad traced it onto paper and glued it to the side of the block. Dad did the cutting with a coping saw. Mom was nervous and couldn't watch that part. Dad did a good job and no fingers we lost.
This is where J really go to get his hands on. He is busy shaping the wood with his rasp and dremel tool. We got a good bit done tonight, but there is still much to do.
J is sooooooo into this! He wanted to finish the whole thing tonight, and put on the paint and decals. But it still needs a good bit of sanding and shaping.
