Thanks bp122 , Go for it its so rewarding and opens up a whole new pastime i have built a drum sander that can produce timber less than 1mm thick making material that is not readily available. And when a project is finished i have no problem finding somewhere to srore it , Also im doing my bit for the planet only using recycled timber
Just thought i would send a couple more pics hopefully inspire you. All 1/12 scale
Thanks to all you likes nice to know there s an interest in miniatures still

So many tools, so little to show

is was a joke in relation to Nicks question on dolls house markets, i.e. it's a market, for a dolls house.
obviously not funny, sorry.

I got the joke side just thought it was your workmanship (please no jokes about boats)
Have you looked into the possibility that there could be a market for minature workshops, thinking opposite to the dolls houses that women like and maybe the men would like similar, a couple could do their own thing together!
Yes good idea i made a workbench some years ago and loads of old handtools brace and bit ,chisels,saws ,etc had fun thinking up what would go in got loads of old books with drawings in of old tools but my granddaughter snaffeled it
My avatar is actually a thingybob (spiral staircase anything you cant remember the name of at the time) its made from recycled cerial boxs ,plastic straws and map pins
In the throws of building a 1/12 scale greenhouse as well as refurbing my Dewalt Radial saw will post pics of green house todateI dont have any interest in miniatures, but i can certainly see and admire the effort and skill involved in creating them
What are you going to do next?
The answer is yes ! When I was in full time engineering one of the chaps made such items as a hobby selling a few along the way, he eventually left to do it full time, traveled to many shows etc in Britain selling and taking commissions. He did extremely well and his work was top class.
If you are interested in “sub miniature “ look up Willard Wigan, a most amazing unassuming man, I was privileged to meet the gentleman once !

I don't usually post on here but I just wanted to show you the workbench my dad made for me (my other hobby besides woodworking is 1/10 scale RC 4x4s) so there's another market.
Obviously the leg vice works as well.
