Well, now that Ian is a Cub Scout, there are some new traditions we get to start.
This is one of my favorite so far. The Pinewood Derby.


Last Sunday, we went to what I thought was going to be a mini-clinic on getting the boys
started on their cars. It basically turned out to be one of the leaders letting everyone come
over to use his bandsaw. Cool...works for me. All I had was a jigsaw.


So we grab a pencil and I ask Ian what kind of vehicle he'd like to do. He pondered a few
different designs and then settled on a pick up truck.


We came home after that and spent the afternoon sanding the body. We have a little more shaping
to do, but we have til the end of the month to get everything ready to race.
