they all worked together... i cant let a 6 year old use a power tool... :( :eek: by himself....

dh measured wrong for the wheel base.... :(

i cant take my kids out of school to have them build new ones.. the race is friday... :( :mad: :eek:


dh tried to fix the existing ones and by drilling new holes they shattered...

we dont exactly have access to power tools either.... everything is done with borrowed tools...
this is those of us live in the city in apartments.... :(

It's a learning experience for both parents & kids.


Safety w/ knives and tools is so important...
one year our Cub Scout Master seemed to be limping
during the PW Derby....
His wife finally let the cat out of the bag -
He'd dropped his sharp knive while helping w/ the car
with their son....the knife dropped down and
fell down hitting his foot and having to get stitches!
We still laugh over this one.

Hope the race goes well for your son!
