Pinewood Derby Car Stands

Barry C Runnels (Barry_C_Runnels@MMACMAIL.JCCBI.GOV)
Mon, 13 Jan 1997 13:48:59 CST


I was reminded of a tradition our Pack started several years ago. Every
year our Webelos build Pinewood Derby Car Stands for all the cars in the
Pinewood Derby. The Webelos get a credit for the Craftsman Activity Badge
and the other Scouts have a cool car stand to take home.

The stands are made from two pieces of pine attached together with screws
or glue.

One piece is a 5.5 inch high and 4.0 inch wide back plate that sits on end.

The other is a 3.0 X 3.0 inch base sitting flat, centered and attached to
the back plate.

>From the side the stand has the capital "L" shape. The car sits on the 3.0
X 3.0 base. There may be pictures in a Scouting book somewhere but I got
the design from a Pow Wow book.

Took my Webelos about 2.0 hours to cut, drill, build and paint 30 of these
things.

Cost us about 40 cents per car. A cheap easy way to make sure everyone
takes something home from the races.
