Re: Wheel lathe

I will suggest the Sherline lathes other like Taig lathes. Both of these will do the job of turning wheels. I would warn you that while the cost of a mini lathe itself is not to much, the cost of tooling, tool holders, accurate measuring equipment, misc will cost as much as double what the lathe its...

Re: Spin times?

Pin Guages work great and are fairly inexpensive. Depending where you get them they cost about $2.50 each. Having them sized between .095 and .099 is worth the money. After you are finished with racing, these are great tools to pass along to the next guy.

Re: Civil War car in progress

Very cool for sure. I of course like the flame stencil, but not because it came from me. I am into painting flames on cars, I like the old school hot rods with flames. The error could have been from either putting the paint on to thick or not scuffing the surface. It seems that you certainly are on ...

Re: Newspaper running a pinewood derby race for Long Island

I have seen other races that you do not get the rules till you register. It saves them time and money in sending out hte rules to those that will not register, but can sometimes lead to lower car counts.

Please post pictures when it is all said and done. It sounds like it could be a very fun race.

Re: Derby Evolution March Madness

I would like to take a minute and thank those that have purchased from me. I would also like to ask those that have to post a review/ feedback on their purchase from me. It can be about the product or the service. It will help others that do not know about my site feel comfortable in their purchase.

Re: Derby Evolution March Madness

There is only a couple days left in my March Madness Sale. It will be a long long time before deals like this will be had again if they ever come around again. Some of the closeout items are out of stock and they are gone forever, don't miss out on the other closeout items.

Re: How Not to Run A Pinewood Derby Event

Zack hit it on the head! The bigger picture was one young man knowing that he worked hard and did his best. The $10 trophy was not the important thing to your son. It sounds to me that what he valued was the time spent with you and the fun you guys had together. It does amaze me what people will do ...

Re: Derby Evolution March Madness

I wanted to let guys know that these deals are only till the end of the month. The laser bodies that are on closeout will no longer be produced, so once they are gone they are gone. If you buy 5 of the closeout laser bodies they are marked down to $3.95 each. You can mix and match bodies. You will h...

Re: Derby Evolution Sale and Clearance Items

It is $6.00 no matter how much you order, so if your order is large I would take a loss on the shipping. With gas being $3.50-$4.00 and the time needed to go to the store, many times it is just cheaper and easier to have it delivered to your door. For me if I wanted to go to the local hobby store it...

That's right come on down, the price is right!!!!! I hear there are fenders that can be had for less then $2. Poplar laser cut bodies marked down, did...
