Making A Hot Wheels Display

My nephew loves collecting Hot Wheels toy cars. His birthday was coming up so I have made a display shelf for him.

[@alistairstanger2940]

What a lovely idea!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@tworiversworkshop6111]

What a brilliant idea and well executed. Your nephew must be thrilled!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. He was pleased

[@awantamta]

As a former hotwheels owner, I think it's a fantastic project !

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@jeremies7489]

As a current uncle... I agree!

[@tbarmo]

Great idea for a display of his cars. This could easily become a commercial product. There are many kids out there who would love to have a shelf like this.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@simonmiddleton4977]

Looks really cool! Great idea 👍😃

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@essentialhandyman]

Nice to see family oriented people still exist.

[@andyc972]

Great uncle - absolutely, nice project Matt !

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@veronica5896]

That came out amazingly! Awesome idea, excellent execution, and even better result. The led-lights really made it pop. Bet he'll appreciate it forever. And the award for best ever Uncle goes to Matt!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. He does seem pleased

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Nice little project Matt, Your nephew is very happy with that toy car display . well done mate

[@terristroh3965]

You had me at sapele

[@erictheviking672]

Aren't tyres full of talc/ chalk to stop the inner tube sticking? That may have been the gluing issue. Like the tyre idea, looking good.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Good point. Next time I will wash it first

[@Lutzboater]

A wonderful gift for your nephew. I enjoy the fact that if you have many tasks to complete, like putting in a bunch of screws, you show what you are going to do, and not show the same thing fifty-eleven times. The Sapele looks very nice with the oil you used on it.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@mikedeman5351]

I wish I was that creative. How did you come up with that idea? It's very good :)

[@nigelperry9457]

I'm 52 years old, and still have my dinky / matchbox cars. In the original carry cases. Both full. And hardly played with. Awesome project.

[@Badgerworkshop]

They can be the retirement fund

[@nigelperry9457]

[@yanovich3234]

Super uncle! Tyres often have a 'talc' dusting on the inside..

[@stephenhall9592]

Just brilliant

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@josephtwilley7187]

Cool video. Drinking all that Prime isn't to good for him though.

[@WonkyStud]

especially knowing the source is a scammer

[@Smithb83]

Ah good job Matt, maximum uncle points there! 😎⭐

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@joh22293]

I'm 60 yo, I still have my original hotwheels cars!

[@Badgerworkshop]

They must be very collectible now

next year another wheel, and then the bike frame ...

[@dougsaunders8109]

Lol, recon that tyre might be useless for air 😁

[@jyvben1520]

Great idea and build thanks Matt🍺🍺👍👍

Ya' done good, Matt. Clever idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@srh1101]

Matt, you're definitely a cool uncle

[@Badgerworkshop]

I hope so

[@DavidPinner-r9w]

It would be very cool to use one of the nephews old bike tires

[@shedmanx3640]

Outstanding project!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@To-Lo77]

🚲 Great idea. Based off his response, you definitely gained some uncle points, lol 🚵‍♂️ . Great job! Tony 🇺🇸

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. He did seem pleased

[@dougsaunders8109]

I could not show my ten year old the video, due to the amount of prime bottles featured 😂 Great idea Matt especially the LED feature 👍🏻

[@Badgerworkshop]

He does love prime

[@dougsaunders8109]

@@Badgerworkshop may be you should a Matt and Keith version ‘Banter’ chat over a drink 🥃

[@jscook54]

Great gift for the nephew! Love the project. But flat head screws? You must be watching Drew Fisher at Fishers Workshop! Haha

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@rrddaatube]

I can't work out how to word this without it sounding like I think you're doing something wrong, which I'm not! Is a shooting board and a pull saw the right combination? With a western saw you're pushing against the shooting board, but with a pull saw you're pulling against your hand which doesn't seem right?

[@Badgerworkshop]

It's not a shooting board, It's a bench hook. It is for western saw but it works.

[@paullevers7211]

Cool gift Matt🙂 I thought you might have trouble getting glue to stick, it’s because of the French chalk used inside tyres to stop things sticking to the inside like the glue on repair patches.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. Yes I should have thought of that

[@Tim-Rastall]

Great idea 👍 I might scale this up to a car tyre for my Lego models in my office!

[@Badgerworkshop]

That would look great

[@reannejarvis9464]

Gosh I love that and the sapele really pops.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@marcusbailey2632]

Awesome. I will make some for myself

[@bighig88]

Bloody Brilliant again bud !!

[@martp197]

Very cool, well done Uncle Matt :)

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@likeakite]

Nice idea

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@EM-fh2tx]

Your Great-Uncle would have been an uncle to either one of your parents! ;)

[@Badgerworkshop]

Haha very true

[@normanbott]

Great present - a really inventive one too. Glad he liked it.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Yes he seemed pleased

[@reginalawson3438]

Mega Uncle points for you Matt. Great idea as well! 😊

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@my2ndoneny]

This really is a fantastic idea. I was guessing how you secure the wooden shelves since the tire is round. Your way is much simpler. Good work!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍.Thank you

[@alastairmackay4589]

Nice job

[@TheFurnitureArtisan]

Always great to make a present that is unique to the recipient. Something I often do. 👍 Also, don’t suppose you have the link for your lighting? I remember you featuring then in a vid.

[@RYwoodview]

Very cool idea! Thanks.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@joelhollingsworth2374]

Quick question: why do you use the bench hook backward with your pull saw?

[@Badgerworkshop]

It’s for western saws

[@joelhollingsworth2374]

@@Badgerworkshop I mean yes...I guess then, from the hook's perspective, my question becomes: why aren't you using it backward when using it with pull saws? Like, it's designed to resist the force of the saw teeth & to support against tearout on the side of the workpiece that the teeth exit, is I guess what I'm getting at.

[@Badgerworkshop]

@@joelhollingsworth2374 because that’s not how hooks work. You can’t just turn it around. You need a differently designed hook

[@henley1100]

Extremely thoughtful of you, for your nephew, Matt. Good onya! Don

[@ronnieahman6958]

What a wonderful gift and it looks so cool. Really good idea.

[@amandajoi8658]

Kid loves a Prime!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Yes they do

[@fredsmith6725]

Matt's next uncle project. Making storage shelves for all those prime drinks😜. Great edit and unique project. Thanks for sharing.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. Hopefully he will grow out of the prime phase

[@richardhart7652]

Well done uncle 😊

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@jackchadwick4350]

Great idea. Great video. Great prezzie for the nephew. I did similar a few years ago. Used an old tractor tyre & scaffold boards to make a log store. Keep up the good content! Cheers

[@Badgerworkshop]

That sounds a great build

[@EvanDunville]

Cool project

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@MrBigMalT]

Best Uncle Ever award goes to you Matt, cracking job 🏆🏆🏆

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@louissherwood5221]

That's a cool idea, turned out good. A perspex sheet to back the shelves and help the light travel would have been good though

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thanks

[@charles3727]

That is really cool for your nephew - I know he’s going to appreciate something like that (especially as none of his mates will have anything like it)

[@Badgerworkshop]

Yes he has been showing it off to his friends

[@c.a.g.1977]

Pretty cool gift, Matt! How did you come up with this design, it's awesome!

Thank you. I saw something similar

Nicely done, your nephew will grow up telling stories about his cool uncle!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Haha I hope so
