I saw this nail shaper in Poundland and instantly thought "Electric Car". This version I connect the motor to the axle by putting a big pulley on the back wheel.

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
