So the last few weeks we have spent preparing for Gunners Pinewood Derby.... Let me tell you~ Not an easy task! I am by no means a dorky girl who cant use tools, but I am a girl without tools! So we bought the $19 saw from Michales that is boyscout logo-ed and sitting next to the deby blocks of wood.... and i used a cupon! As usual though~ you get what you pay for and that $11 saw didnt saw very well at all. But we hacked away at it and made the best car we could with our cheepy saw!
