I really like those cars in this month's gallery! Very creative incorporation of fenders into a design that actually looks like a race car!

I especially liked the "work with them to make it practical" section of the feature article. The whole article was good, but that part in particular resonated. At our workshops, I've encouraged kids (and parents) interested in unusual designs to come to me for advice on how to turn their concepts into reality. I also keep an eye out for designs that might be problematic at the band saw table.
The tip about adding decoration to an otherwise simple car is excellent.
