Pinewood Derby Axle Guide Tool

thingiverse

Here's a simple solution to the age-old problem of getting your car's wheels straight. If you're not blessed with a printer, no worries! You can grab one for a mere $5 including shipping on my site - it's purely to cover costs and give back to the wonderful Pinewood community. Instructions: 1. Position the axle guide in its pre-cut slot for the nail. 2. When done correctly, you'll feel two small lips on either side of the car as a reassuring sign that everything is on track. 3. Place both the car and the axle guide firmly within a clamping device to secure them in place. 4. Begin inserting the nail into the designated slot while keeping it perfectly aligned, and take a firm stance behind your hammer for what's next. 5. Drive the nail home with steady confidence; the axle guides will ensure it stays on course. 6. When your wheel first touches the guide, you know you've nailed it - or rather, got the nail to just the right depth.
