Popular Post Rob Posted June 13, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 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.
