Frame
I wanted to use a timber frame construction on a house. Barton Cottage is the perfect opportunity. We're using 1/2x1/2x36 inch wooden sticks from Lowes and foamcore.
Beginning the project - laying out the plans and books. My dad is in the background. He's amazing at looking at plans and figuring out how to scale it down and make it work. |
My dad has an amazing shop with table, miter, band, and scroll saws. Sanders of every sort. Tons of clamps. I can't think of anything that's not there.....until later when we needed a dremel. I had left that at home unfortunately. |
Drawing out the windows and doors on foamcore. Foamcore will cover the outside of the house. |

Beginning the framing. |
Beginning to layout the 1/2 inch timbers and put them together per the plans. |
The timbering for the front of the house. |
OH Gosh! To get all of the ratios to scale and to keep everything the dollhouse will be 52' long! |
