Hey Leo, some nice stuff. I'm especially a sucker for any nicely laminated wood whatever... loved the boat.  The pinewood derby car brought back memories... My son's last winning entry was a sliver of wood with a lead plate underbelly. Those were fun.

Do you do your own welding and bending/break work, Leo?

As far as cameras go this is the grade up from mine - better camera at similar cost - digital stabilization and near fool proof - even I can do well with it. About $340 :)

I took this picture of a plane I could not see except as a speck, on full zoom hand held -at 48x zoom on digital.



That is one of the planes that sprays the spreading chemical trails that obliterate the sun and turn the skies to a cloudy hazy day -I saw it doing it and snapped a few pix.  You see it more and more now -- clouds in the shape of hatches or x's or other grids usually and cover the sky.  Point is that you could never hand hold a lesser camera and get a shot like that.

Equivalent of a 35 to 350mm zoom all in one little stabilized lens.

By that time my son had figured out that his heavier cars ran down hill faster, so I showed him how to use the bandsaw to trim down the body thickness and the table router to make a cavity for the lead. The whole car was affixed to a larger block for safer handling.

I was a den leader while my son was in cubs and scouts. One year some of us leaders decided to see what we could do with no rules, other than using the same max. wt as the pinewood cars and that the cars must fit the same track.

We ended up with six very competitive entries. We ended up with similar concept cars; thin wheels and ball bearing, and either slim flat or tubular shaped bodies. The fastest car was a trike design; 2 very thin carbon fiber front disc wheels with ball bearing hubs, one smaller similar trike wheel bringing up the rear with a fin shaped body, wider in front and tapering back to shield the rear wheel.

I should mention that it was quite a hi-tech leader crew, three leaders being Intel engineers, one a Honeywell engineer, an ex-rocket scientist, and non-degreed myself. It was fun, but not repeated.
