Round Table – Done
I’ve finally finished the round table, I’ll definitely need a roombox for it. I’m planning to make a lounge seat next, so maybe I’ll use them both. For now I don’t have a really good plan for roombox though:(
I’m happy and not happy with this table: lacewood veneer was a bit hard to work with, besides the lower part of the table was a bit of a challenge: I wasn’t using the router for it, only my scrollsaw, so I threw away couple of the lower part details:) The last one still not the best, but I decided to move on with it. Lacewood looks good to me.
Surprisingly I enjoyed working with veneer – it brings so many possibilities, so many patterns you can create, it’s just endless. So despite this not very good experience I’ll keep on working on it.
Oh, and welcome to my new followers! I’m really happy that you’re reading my blog, I hope you like it. Thank you for the great chance to get to know you too.
FAQ по строительству
It’s a small post for those who are new to our hobby in Russia. I decided not to translate it as it mainly concerns some stuff you can find in Moscow to make minis and such.
Прежде всего, велкам всем читателям, что у меня появились в последние дни. В ЖЖ приветствовать не особо принято, ну и ладно.
В комментах меня поспрашивала как начинать строительство домика или румбокса, а я решила выложить в отдельный пост, чтобы не потерялось. Вдруг кому понадобится. Хотя я не такой уж специалист, сужу по собственному опыту. Читать дальше…
Round Table
Yesterday I started making round table. I made the leg and the top:
Очередные находки
So I had some pine wooden strips that I didn’t like and I was wrong! Because later I found out it was not pine but beech wood. So we bought several more, our kitten loved them.
I also found a good place in Moscow to buy basswood, they are cut and polished to the size. Guess it’s time to try some carving.
Kitchen stool- almost there
I’ve finished assembling the stool, looks okay to me. At least, I’ve never made it before, whole new experience, and I’m feeling excited about the process. I haven’t done any finishing yet, so the table looks darker:
I think I need to make 5-10 more to make it perfect:)
Kitchen stool
The final semester is over, and I’m free till April! This means that I can get back to my dollshouse:) That’s a huge relief for me – last month was absolutely crazy ( I guess, this was my favorite word this year), I had no time at all. I hope that I’ll be posting lots of updates now.
This week started with the idea of making some furniture – I had a kitchen table made several months ago and its style doesn’t allow me to use it in the dollshouse, so why not making a roombox? I guess I’ll make it a kitchen. So I thought it would be nice to make couple of kitchen stools first.
Legs are almost done:
Dollshouse.tv
Just found some pretty interesting source – dollshouse.tv. It’s a subscription-based, and I really liked it! Lots of projects to make, interviews and such. I think I’ll need to buy a tablesaw!
Hardware Shopping
Recently I found pretty good store near my house, they sell a lot of router bits for Dremel and Proxxon, and also they sell some miniature hardware, which is a a bit out of scale for mini stuff, but sometimes it’d fit. And the price is good!
Some good finds
I used to study Japanese at the uni, so sometimes I check on Japanese mini blogs. This one is one of the new ones I found and loved:-
