Kyler Kid's Day!

Kyler Kid worked with dad on his first Pinewood Derby race car. Kyler decided he wanted to have a Star Wars car. So dad helped cut out the shape of the car and Kyler was responsible for sanding and painting the car. He also picked out the accessories he wanted to attach to it. (From Star Wars the Clone Wars.) His car ran quite fast and we are so proud of him!
Getting ready to run!

Kyler came in 11th overall, which I think is fantastic considering it was his first race ever!!!

Look at all his rewards! 3rd place for his class and Best in Show for Design! Woot Woot!

This was before he knew about the Best in Show trophy--see how happy!

Way to go Kyler! We are proud of you!

Fun new projects!!

So I have found a new fun project to work on. I saw something on-line about etching glass. I bought the expensive etching cream and tried it, but I wasn't thrilled with the results. upon thinking about it more I realized the best way to etch glass is sandblasting it. I get better results because the sand doesn't seep under the vinyl like the chemical does. here are my most recent adventures...

P.S. I fought with my new phone to get this post done. On my next few days off i will get more updates on here.
