Roller Racer - CNC Router Project - Share Your Holiday

Our local TV station presents “Share Your Holiday” during the month of December. In conjunction with the Salvation Army they accept donations (toys, non-perishable food, or monetary) to aid our neighbors who have less.

Remember the Wooden Toy Car from last year's Share Your Holiday project?
Someone suggested - "you should do that with skate wheels" - and so - YES - of course let's do that!

Here is the 2019 - Roller Racer - Mark II.

Happy Holidays!
