How to Make a Wooden Toy Car

What you’ll need:
Ÿ A scroll or bandsaw
Ÿ A router
Ÿ A drill press/hand drill
Ÿ Scrap wood - anything
from mdf to soft/hard
wood will do
Ÿ Spray adhesive and a wood
glue
Ÿ Dowel
Ÿ Tyres - you can make these
but I buy mine online
Ÿ Spray paint in any colour you like

Step 1: Create a Template

The dots indicate where the wheels and windows will be drilled out.

Step 2: Cut the Template Out of Wood

Cut the template out using a band saw or a scroll saw.
This is actually the hardest step and the one
you need to be the most accurate on. Your template
will be used over and over so take your time and make
sure it’s perfect.
Use a drill press or hand drill to cut out the axles and
windows for the car. You’ll need the axle holes to be slightly bigger than the
dowel you use so that the tyres will roll freely.
