FAiL Carby ~Karstaag

Artisan Crafts / Woodworking

I made this poplar car for a Wood Design Survey class at ECU. We raced them as part of the critique, and my car won. Fail.

To make the finish I coated the car with a thin layer of margarine and baked it in the oven for 10 minutes at 325°F. I then gave it three coats of Tung Oil and a thin layer of paste wax on top of everything.

The axle and wheels both turn freely, and are greased with extra virgin olive oil. I attached framing bumpers to the front and rear of the car so that it bounces off of walls instead of crashing into them.

The text is based on the font "1942 Report" by Johan Holmdahl. Find it here: [link]
