I love it! Isn't that a pretty sight??
All those little cars in the box ready for finishing...cut out of pretty white pine....I think it's white pine isn't it?
So smooth....edges sanded so nice!
A pretty sight indeed!

Yep, they are pine, easy to cut and finish. I managed to paint 40 wheels tonight, only have 152 more to go. Then, the axle caps, then the cars. whoohoo. My dining room table was cleared off for about 1/2 a day, now it's back to "normal" with paints and wood stacked on it.
Terry, I use water based acrylic craft paints and satin wipe-on poly.
have 2 coats on 10 red cars and 2 coats on 10 blue cars.
have 40 wheels painted, 40 red axle peg caps, 40 blue axle peg caps and 40 light green axle caps painted. Have shortened 40 axle pegs, have the other 80 painted axle pegs to cut tomorrow.
okay, the pictures are below. The width of my jig allows just enough clearance for the wheel to turn easily and still have enough axle to glue into the car. The axle pegs I bought are 7/32, give or take a smidge (some are a teeny bit fatter). I drilled the holes with a 7/32 bit.
My jig has 4 holes, makes it easy to handle, for me. You could always increase the # of holes.
Rolf, I had that happen once, the second time it happened I bought a magnetic sheet from amazon, the sheet is super slippery. I did not think it would stick to my Ex so I was going to use double sided tape, but it did stock magnetically just fine....
Great Job. I invite you do go to scrollmania.com and try out the PolyDraw software. It allows you to design your own bowls. Ther are about seven tutorials to help learn Carol Rothman edited them for me so they under easy to understand!...
