Very nice mate. wanting to something similar like this for a long time. Thanks

Awesome to hear that. I hope you found the video helpful

[@ArtStudioTop]

Вместо гоночной машинки получился гоночный трактор 😀 Можно было бы срезать днище корпуса на плоскость, тогда первые колеса подошли бы.

[@rsauve999]

Excellent video production (no wasted time, & all to the point)...but the dimensions would help. In any case, I started one yesterday, will finish today. Thanks for this, Dimitris.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you. Awesome to hear that. Sorry about the dimensions, but I don’t use any myself . I just like to eyeball the proportions.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Beeswax and oil paste

[@luisangelcojalrodriguez7595]

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you. It’s mineral oil. Greetings from Greece

[@Pawelino1000]

[@woodsniffer]

I like the wooden wheel Technique on the lathe. Is that Pine?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you. No it’s basswood

[@woodsniffer]

OIC thank you and thanks for posting your video's

[@artlee7415]

What size dowel did you use for axels and what size drill bit did you drill for axels? Would like to make one for my grandkids. Cute car by the way👍

[@ScrapwoodCity]

I think it was an 8mm dowel a 10 or 9mm bit!

Φανταστικη δουλεία Δημήτρη. Όλα τα τα πλάνα τα τραβάς με μια κάμερα ?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Ευχαριστώ. Μια κάμερα αλλά διαφορετικοί φακοί

[@stinglesscaterpillar2302]

What's the name of this yellow machine in footage

[@JimGriec0]

Thank you for this video - nice car! On your website you stated that you glued the axles in. Do the wheels turn and if so how if the axle is glued in the body? Thanks

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you. The axles are glued on the tires but not the body of the car. So they move freely. Sorry if my English are a bit awkward, I am Greek.

[@JimGriec0]

@@ScrapwoodCity no worries I appreciate the info!

[@raymondnaterperez8726]

Nice Job. Do you send me the car measure.
