Best "CRAFT-manship"

I think a Pinewood Derby car is

 " craft blog-worthy"-

 don't  you think?

I'm even tempted to find a  linky part to share my   our latest craft!

My son didn't win the race but he won "best CRAFTmanship" :) and 5th place.

We...as in me and my son worked hard the last couple of days designing, cutting, and painting his car.

My husband was the director/wheel-checker/giver of approval.

I know it's suppose to be a father/son bonding moment...but I just couldn't help getting involved especially when it comes to cutting wood and making it pretty!

My son's first time spray painting. He did quite well!

I was so proud of his spray technique!

He wanted two stripes- like a Ford mustang GT.

We polished the wheels with wet sandpaper.

I learned a lesson this time.

  It's all about wheels. 

 If you set them wrong you are toast!  I put one in crooked and  permanently messed it up.

Ahhh the pressure!

It was a fun night. 

No bad competitive feelings that happen sometimes at these races.

I have...I mean "we" have another year to perfect the winning car!

I only hope from now on that I'm

 not

 referred to as the "SHE-MAN" mom that likes saws and power tools:)

I got some strange looks from the other dads! ;)
