Andrew is getting ready to craft his first Pinewood Derby car for Boy Scouts! Anyone out there with some tips on how to turn this block of wood into a speed machine???

I tend to let my kids do their projects completely ... aside from the things they cannot do, such as using power tools, hot glue guns etc ... and often their projects LOOK like they did them. But like you said, other kids turn in projects/cars/etc. done almost entirely by the parents and they look fabulous ... and the kids always comment on so-and-so's projects that was sooo cool. But in the end, I always do the same thing, that is let my kids do the project themselves. Even though it may not look the best, they did it themselves.
