I also go onto an Australian site and someone built this little Garage http://www.woodworkforums.com/f174/wee-garage-175155/

Just remembered that you may need to register to view the pictures Sorry

That's really cool. The weathering detail is spot on. Hope mine looks half as good as that one.

So did a little more today before I got too cold.....
Finished off the work bench.... distressed it inc some calcultions on the top, glue and drill holes!

And distressed the sink unit to look more like it would in a workshop.

 

[Dalboy]

That sink and bench are looking good.

I have just started another thread to show 2 of the three houses I have https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/dolls-houses-t74749.html did not want to highjack your post

 

[Melinda_dd]

Thanks. It's amazing what can be done with a pallet and some coffee stirrers!!

Your doll houses look impressive.... not sure mine will be to that standard!

Ok so haven't touched my box room for a long while for lot's of reasons I won't bore you with, however I now have less than a month to finish it so thought I better get my finger out!!!.........

So the old Mc D's coffee stirrers came into play again to create a wood rack....
They are just glued together, then painted a metal grey colour.

The wood is just offcuts I have cut to a more realistic size.
Nothing is in permanent place yet just put where I think it's gonna go...
Feel free anyone to flip pictures... my phone for some reason will not stop posting the wrong way!!

Next I made a scraps box by just sticking some thin bits of oak together..... I painted It white and then wrote auntie tinas scraps on it as though a child had wrote it , however I didn't like it so painted over it.

Again the scraps are just off cuts.
These are glued into the box

Feel free anyone to flip the picture

These are some waney edge boards I'll prop up somewhere

Made by just slicing a hazel rod up on the bansaw

 

[Melinda_dd]

Ok. Next is confession time. ... I've discovered a doll house shop locally and buckled a tad!!!

I saw this tool box with tools and thought it was really cool so had to have it!!

I have made some saws though out of card... and a square...... these I will paint and tilt so it doesn't notice that they're flat.

 

[Melinda_dd]

So this is where I'm at at the moment. ..... it's not the best and a bit rustic but... I'm enjoying myself!!!

On the left is a kitchen dresser that I made ages age but have no wip pictures of... or close ones. I'll add them at a later date....it has an invoice attached to the side with a delivery address on it.

Again nothing is stuck In place at the moment incase I change my mind!

 

[NickWelford]

I think it looks great. My only comment is that the saw teeth seem out of scale, but I don't mean to criticise. You should try making a bandsaw!

 

[Melinda_dd]

After several failed attempts that was as small as I could get the teeth!

I may try and make something saw based as will look a bit bare in the middle

 

[MARK.B.]

Looking very good so far,cant wait till its finished

 

[Melinda_dd]

Did some more pottering on the room tonight.

I made this table and stained it with fence paint. I felt that the room needed more colours hence the stain. It's a bit bright so needs distressing.

The rag is hiding a gap in the join of the leg and rail

 

[Melinda_dd]

Next one is gonna take a little imagination. .. picture a record lathe. .. green... silver bars....

Its obviously not finished yet still needs more bits to it and painting but well see how it turns out

 

[Melinda_dd]

So tonight I finished the lathe.... just waiting for the paint job now

 

[Melinda_dd]

So today i made a small oak book shelf for the room. It's going to be left unfinished so it looks like a w.i.p
It does now have 2 shelves and a shelf propped up next to it.... I'll get another picture tomorrow
