Children's Alphabet Blocks

Hello, I want to make some letter blocks for my son. I'd like to find a
stencil set or something to help me carve out the letters. Where might
I find such a product? The blocks are pretty small (about 1.75" square)
so I'll need a set that will work with those dimensions.

thanks.

If you are in the US Walmart used to stock them in either the art or
hardware department.

If you have access to a computer you can print them off in any size you
want. Use tracing paper or glue paper template to block and then carve.

thanks. i was thinking i might find something of the metal variety to
keep from slipping up with the dremel and marring the edges. i'm using
red oak (yes, i know i should have used poplar or something softer) and
it doesn't take much for that dremel to catch an edge and run off the
sides.

i'll look at woodcraft and rockler to see if they have something that
might work.

If you're talking about routing rather than hand carving,
you can get template sets from Woodcraft and Rockler.

Any of the office supply places should have them.
