: I should have asked about the loom section how thick is appropriate
: for little hands? Also overall length. Is it just scaled from
: the holst plans for his height? If it is scaled from those plans
: then how about the width of the blades? I just need help getting
: my head around this.

I'm carving one for my grand kids who are 8 & 13 years old.

Length 6' 0", loom 1 1/4" x 1" x 16", blades 3 1/8"

Hope this helps,
