October 7, 20178 yr Popular Post It's that time of year again! I have 84+ toy cars to make for the "Christmas Shoe Boxes. This will keep Santa (me) busy for a few weeks!
October 8, 20178 yr Author Popular Post I use 1x6 poplar and 2 cars will fit on a 6" piece. I have a pattern that I trace, then I drill the axle holes and a start hole for the windows. I have been using a 7r blade and then just have a seat at the scroll saw and have at it. This is the 3rd or 4th year that I've made them. Each year it is more cars. The first year was around 25 of them! It's always fun because of where they're going. If I have time they want some small zoo or farm animals. I'll use the scraps for those.
October 8, 20178 yr Awesome job Santa Harry! The bright colors have to be a hit with the kids too especially where the toys go. Blessings to you for such a worthy endeavor and use of your time!!
October 8, 20178 yr Author The cars will go into the "Christmas Shoe Boxes" that are distributed to needy children thru out the world. These will be going to a church about 55 mile from here to add to their boxes. I'll get some more pictures when I go back out to the shop.
October 8, 20178 yr Great job, Harry. And, little ones are a great cause, too. Bless your soul, buddy.
