Trains have been running under trees for most of a century now. It's time to dig them out and do a little service work. Clean the tracks with a green scrubby and oil the motor and gears. Check the wires from the transformer to the track, if it's missing any insulation replace it. Model Railroading the hobby that lasts a life time.

I am a cub scout and our pinewood derby race is coming up and I want to find some ways to make my car faster. I learned that copper and aluminum interact and push away from each other. We have an aluminum track, would it be a good idea to melt some copper in the botem of my car? I was thinking that this would make my car go faster.

I am trying to sew by hand some heart pillows between 8 and 10 inches in height for heart patients. I drew a pattern, turned it inside out and stitched with a needle and thread and when I was done, it looked terrible! You could still see all the stiching. Did I not stitch close enough together? Any help or tips at all? I really want to try to make many to donate. A pattern or explicit tips would be wonderful! Thanks!

I'm going to be giftwrapping for an event this weekend and I'd like to get to the point where I can have some artistic freedom to my wrapping... feel free to throw in some oragami influences though that might be a little too advanced for me. :)

I want to insert it into a letter-size leather portfolio that will require a cardboard backing. It will be inserted into a pocket slit into the inside of the portfolio. It also has to lie flat so that the portfolio will close. Any suggestions how I can accomplish this?

Does anyone know the section of the craft store where I can find the meta l hoops used to make dreamcatchers? I thought they were macramé hoops, but I wasn't able to find them in/near that section.
I haven't made one in a few years, and I just can't seem to find them anywhere! I've tried explaining what they look like to employees at Joann's and Michael's, but I just get confused looks.
Any help would be appreciated!
