WARNING **************
Wooden toys are not appropriate
for many children, especially small children, due to
safety issues.
PLEASE!!!!
Read my page on safety
and make certain any toy(s) you give to children are safe
for them.
Also, learn to be safe in the workshop for you own sake.
While digging through some old
boxes recently,
I pulled out a big stack of booklets titled:
'Practical
DELTA
Projects'
(New & Novel
Things to Make).
|
 |
When I opened them, I found each one
contained dozens of projects for woodworkers.
Some of them present the original DELTA BLUEPRINTs
(as far back as 1934) but many lack enough detail
for beginning woodworking enthusiasts. I found this to be
a treasure trove of very special information
so I contacted DELTA and
got permission to place them on this web page.
The projects include articles from simple scale parts
drawings through reasonable instructions.
If you are looking for more detail than given here, (such
as a complete package with detailed instructions,
step-by-step directions, and more) you can order custom
packages from my Detailed Plans page.
Some plans are in MS Word but I am in the process of
making them easier to use by converting
everything to Adobe Acrobat Reader for .pdf files.

presently includes
