The main objective of Pinewood Derby workshop is to provide equipment to allow the shape of the car to cut and sanded. The car + wheels/axles + extra weight (which you WILL need) can then be weighed on the scale so that you will have a good idea of how close your car will be to the 5 ounce weight limit.

 The following equipment will be provided:

(1)   A band saw and jigsaws for cutting the car bodies.

(2)   Electric sanders.

(3)   Safety goggles.
