    G'Day Wasi, Now they look ready to race...
    love the simple clean lines and the mix of timbers...
    all with a steering wheel and drivers seat too...
    sir, you've certainly put a lot of skill, time and effort into these FIRST CLASS wooden toys...
    Few questions please....
    Who's plans or have you done them yourself??
    What finish are you going to use??
    How do you do the wheels..they look great??
    Cheers, crowie

    Hi
    Thx,
    yes, all of them have design by myself
    I have no idea about finishing touch, some advice keep without anything, most of expert advice is finish with b wax + mineral oil pl let me know what is the best.
    wheels are cut by hole-saw cutters & finish with router table but I am not 100% happy with wheels.
    anyway thx for comment.

    Well done on those. They look great with the contrasting colours laminated together.
    Great designs straight out of the head. We look forward to seeing more down the track.

    I just finish the wooden toys I make with pressure pack gloss lacquer or polyurethane.....
    Don't be hard on yourself...the wheel look good from the photos, especially for holesaw wheels ...cheers crowie

    PS - I've found that hardwoods work better for holesaw or wheel cutter wheels....
