One of the easiest wooden cars to make is the pinewood derby car. Take a small block of pinewood (7" long x 4" wide x 1" high) and shape it to design. Place notches on the bottom for the wheel axles between 1/4" to 1/2" from either end. Place the axles, and be certain they do not protrude from the bottom of the car- Do not attach yet. Sand down the car body, and paint. Attach axles to the bottom of the car. Attach wheels to the axles. You've just made a car out of wood. Please bear in mind that there may be stipulations when attempting to create one of these vehicles for an official showing, such as a Pinewood Derby.
