Cars for the Ukraine . . .

Today, all of our club members were invited to go to the workshop to join in with a session of making small cars. The club was asked to make these cars to add to a container that is being filled with medical aids etc. to be shipped to the Ukraine. For me personally, I love the opportunity to make something for children. 

In preparation for the day, I had cut out car numbers for the cars and visors for the helmets on my Cricut. To do this I had to visit my son as the Cricut connection needed updating and my computer skills are sorely lacking lol. 

I was very disappointed to find only 5 club members plus our tutor had turned out for this session workshop session. We set to work sanding car bodies, turning wheels and heads. I turned a few sets of wheels, but I always find sanding Rimu tricky, so I moved on to turning the heads. This was so much easier and relatively quick to do. We didn't get them all made so a couple of us are going to finish them next Wednesday night. Our tutor is going to spray paint all of the car bodies and then we can attach the numbers and visors to the heads.
