Hands-On Houston: Wooden Toy Cars

October 5 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm

Free

713-529-4848

education@crafthouston.org

Join the Woodworkers Club of Houston, and learn how to assemble and decorate a handmade toy car. Participants will learn how to use a jig and hammer to assemble the cars and then decorate them using decals and colored Sharpies. Prior to the activity, the WCH will be busy prepping the toys by tracing each car pattern on wood, cutting it out with a band saw, drilling holes for the windows and wheel axels, routing it, and sanding it on a belt sander. Test your completed vehicle on a ramp and race your friends!

The Woodworkers Club of Houston is comprised of 200 members who make and donate about 5,000 toys annually to charities around Houston.
Note: This activity will take place outdoors and is on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held the first Saturday of every month. Each month, a teaching artist or guild demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Community members of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11 AM and 3 PM and participate in a 15 – 20-minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to advance education about the process, product, and history of craft.
