Drill & Drill Bits

 Download and print vehicle template.  Cut out.  Trace patterns onto your pine board – I traced 1 of each plus an extra car to make 4 total.

Whether you are using a scroll saw or jigsaw, drill a large enough hole for blade in each vehicle window.  Cut pieces out.

If you choose to, use a router to round over all your edges with a 1/8″ round over bit.  Sand all edges smooth.  You can see in the picture above the difference between the rough car and the routed/sanded car.

Drill holes for wheel axles and propellers for helicopter over each of the cross-hairs from template patterns.  For the wheels you want the holes slightly LARGER than 1/4″ so your wheel axles will turn, for the propellers you want 1/4″ holes.  Paint vehicles, let dry and lightly sand smooth.

Glue a wheel onto each dowel piece and set aside to dry.

For the propellers, rip a 3/8″-wide strip from your pine board, at least 8″-long.  Cut a 5″-long piece and 2″-long piece from that.  Drill a 1/4″ hole in the center of each.

 Attach wheels and let dry.  Sand axles flush with wheels if you prefer (I didn’t).
