Retro Designs.
************** 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.
All plans are Adobe Acrobat .pdf files.
My collection presently includes
Practical Delta Projects books 2, 4-16, Toys (Book# 4544),
19 Charming Chairs (Book# 4550), Furniture Designs (Book# 4551),
21 Lovely Lamps (Book# 4553), Novelties (Book# 4554),
