Thanks for the comments guys. Looks like I’m in good company of some great toy makers.

Good projects. Great cause.

I do have a concern about the roofs. Little kids lean on them. The roofs should have front support as well as rear.

I do like the simplistic designs a lot. I even make similar and give a lot of them away also.

yea I need to work on my designs more, I still have a few months to work on final design before Operation Christmas Child boxes are shipped. My goal is to have a easy design to build but a functional toy that a kid will play with. I’m always open to suggestions or even plans or shapes if you’re willing to share. Thanks

I made 6 cars last year for some shoe boxes. Tires and asked seem like we’re the most expensive part. Just curious what design you ended up doing. Looking for a way to do them quicker. I I am not good with a scroll saw, so I using a bandsaw.

G’day Chris, You could always just rough them out on a bandsaw and the do the final shaping with a bobbin sander or similar.
Wheels can be holesaw cut wit a forstner recess & dressed with a 1/8” round over router bit or a wheel cutter is a good purchase if you plan to do lots.
Make sure you show your creations in a new post.
