  20. Kevin, congrats on the new toy, what i use for drilling out pilot holes is a rotary tool with a drill bit 1/16th, works well, just gotta keep it somewhat straight. its quicker then using a drill or drill press
  21. These are generic nascar racing pieces, pattrn by steve good i am not sure of the wood, but the number piece is described .... it has the tongue and groove on it, and has an indention in the middle, very easy to cut the carim not sure.. will have to look at my book of wood photos. on Steves Site, he has the numbers from 01 to 99 so im gonna have a ball cutting them all out, hoping in time for the craft fair in may
