Ah, Oak Creek Canyon. I've been through here a couple of times but it has been at least 35 years since my last visit. I recall in less than an hour you descend from alpine woods to red rock desert country. As to bondo, It is designed for body work on cars. That requires some flexibility and also mus...

Ned, Are you doing Black Oak Canyon? That is a very beautiful place. Are you going to landscape the track? As to rust, other than longevity for the wire, would rust matter?

You will have to input a turn to stay on track. Is that what you want? Also the double cross ove...

Heat is the worst enemy of any tooled steel. MDF has resins in it that will get pretty hot while machining the board. Probably your best bet would be to to your cuts in short bursts giving the blade a chance to cool between bursts. This would probably be especially true when cutting curves where th...

Great looking field of cars Wes and the track looks fantastic.

Lasp, It looks like more than Kenny Black hit the wall!
