Making a Wood Toy Car for Kids
Template is available for free - decalsnstickers.com/wooden-car-template-free-pdf/ For these kids, wood, toy cars I used a combination of Maple and Mahogany, laminated together. The blank I made measured roughly 5.25" x 8.25" and over 2" thick. I used Adobe Illustrator to come up with a template. As you can see I wasn't satisfied with the first design so I switched it completely. It sorta has the Chevy Bel Air feel with the wings. Or the Batmobile. I used the bandsaw to cut them out after I glued the template on. I used a 3/8" round over on all the edges. Since these will be for children I didn't want any thing sharp. I drilled the holes for the wheels and pegs that I purchased online. Much nicer than what I would have come up with. I drilled a 3/4" hole for a window/finger grab. There was a lot of sanding involved. A lot of sanding. But after they were sanded down with 220 grit I used some beeswax on everything for protection and all natural.
