Davos Sled
This classic Davos sled is sure to bring smiles to the faces of children and adults alike.
This sled, sometimes referred to as a “sledge” (a stouter sled for moving heavy loads) is based on a vintage snow sled design originating in Davos, Switzerland. Traditionally made from ash, these sleds have been used for hundreds of years to carry cargo and elicit smiles. The most daunting task of any sled is creating the runners. But these runners are simple to build utilizing a bent lamination technique.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
