Since we moved house, there have been a lot of things such as old beds, wooden boxes etc. that we don't need. So, I disassembled (or destroyed) what we didn't need and put it in a corner of the garage. I have been able to build 3 ramps (various sizes) and 2 stands for my car (one broke) out of the wood I have in there, and I still have more than half left over. I will use some to make a drivers' stand and markers etc. for the track.

I think it is a great way to re-use materials and save money.

Also, I do the same to old electronic equipment that we don't need. I had an electric crane that I had had since I was five, and obviously I didn't use it any more. So, I disassembled it, and I managed to salvage 4 electric motors, electrical wires, and a speaker, from something that would have otherwise been thrown away. Who knows what I can build from those parts?

I will start laying everything out for the track tommorow and will post pictures and plans as soon as them become available.
