Shop Time

The boys are in full Pinew**d Derby mode right now! This past weekend we moved from concepting to actual building, and it was very exciting. I cannot reveal the final car yet (for we don't want anyone stealing Ian's Top Secret idea), however, I can show all the cool tools he got to use.

The band saw

Hand sanding. Of course Ava could not be left out.

Side tracked - drawing with Ava while sitting on paint cans.

Marking where holes can be drilled to remove a little extra weight.

Drill Press



Weigh in

Using the belt sander to smooth the edges.

Side tracked - Did you know safety goggles are needed with Knex?

Dremel Time
Next up sculpting, more sanding, painting and then RACING!!!

    WOW! What an operation! And how nice to see men (and mini-men) who know their way around a work bench!
