Today was Crisana’s first Powderpuff derby. Think of it as Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby, but for dads girls. I first learned about this in January and took a whole 1.5 seconds to have the final design. What would be better for a little girl than a Hello Kitty roller skate? The idea took off. It all started on this dining room table workbench.
The place dreams are made.
I started with the standard approved BSA Pinewood derby kit:
I drew a sideview picture of a short shoe on the wood. I then used a coping saw, wood chisel, and a drum sander to shape the wood.

I then painted it pink, painted the inside black, added the wheels, and Crisana helped add the Hello Kitty stickers. These are the final results:
The car did not fare as well as I would have liked in the races, it did win best design! Here is the proud winner!
and the proud Dad!
