Building the Delta Box CBG

The Delta Box will be a Crocker production instrument.  I'm creating all the templates, jigs, components and hardware so I can assemble many of these at a time.  The complete opposite of what I usually do.

I use a chunk of plank to square and steady the box

  • Looks great. Really nice clean design. Is there a gap between the broomsticks and the top of the box where the sticks run inside or do they touch? I look forward to seeing more as it progresses.
