Every year we fill shoe boxes for Samaritan’s purse for Operation Christmas Child. I have plenty of scarp wood and I was trying my hand at drawing out small cars then cutting them out with the scroll saw. I want to include a wooden toy in the boxes from now on. I’ve gotten some good ideals here on LJs, cars, whistles, yoyo, and tops. I don’t know if I can make enough cars for the shoeboxes because my grandson likes and wants all the cars I’ve made so far.

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.

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.
