Toy Car

[Rob]

Yesterday I made this toy car designed by Steve Good.  Made from an off cut of 4x2 and some scraps.  Finished with a coat of shellac then a coat of mineral oil and beeswax.  I haven't found a source of wooden wheels in New Zealand so had to turn my own,

Fun to make and pretty simple.

Well, you are quick.  I saw that pattern and thought it would be fun to so, someday.  You really jumped on it and did a great job.
