  1. @Keifer I have planned to adjust my desk so that the jig comes out as a drawer. @All Great idea to protect the bottom with a sheet, I will have to remember that tip!
  2. Old tread but I could finally order it. It was sold out for three months. Micromark charged me double costs for shipping to the Netherlands but Amazon came to the rescue. I prefer ordering at the maker but this time it was too expensive for me.
  3. Thanx, my family and I were born mostly from the area around The Hague. Nice to hear that you are somewhat Dutchie too, haha.
  4. Nice, I have started with the same house. You can take a look at my blog if you feel like it: https://omamargot.blogspot.com/2021/01/margot-gaat-doorrrrr.html
  5. I have one 1:10 house finished, the scale was a rookie mistake (from scratch) and one scratch build 1:12, currently working one the third. I think the dollhouses for sale are way too expensive for me, especially when you have to import them to the Netherlands and because the saw, sandpaper and tape measure are my best friends. (at least I tell myself they are, infact I make too many mistakes measuring ;-) I continue to make them by myself.
  6. And here is someone building this house: http://thehalfscaleofit.blogspot.com/2019/09/
  7. But Mike still has the plans in one of his albums, I have downloaded them and I just made a start with this house.
  8. He tries it all the time, Havanaholly, but I won't let him, haha. He would eat anything, especially little peaces of wood.
  9. Finally, it took me three years of my life, haha. You can find some pictures here: http://omamargot.blogspot.com Just recently I was browsing this beloved forum and found an old post: It is closed now due to missing links, but you can still find the missing pictures in Mike's album: And that helped me to decide to give it a go. At first I thought to try 1:24 but my wife and a friend said they liked a bigger version better. So 1:12 it will be. I have searched the internet but only find three pictures of the Art Deco house, maybe one of you has more info?
  10. I like the sound of that: self leveling... I wonder if I can get it in The Netherlands.
  11. Thank you, I have bought some cork, it is 2 mm thick. Do you know the name of brand you use for that compound or sealer?
  12. I have been reading this post form @BigC explaining how he made bricks out of cork and I must say that I love it! It is easy to cut, although the blades run dull very fast, you can stain the material (I like Dutch red bricks) and it has a nice feel to it. Does anyone here know how I can seal the bricks and what to use as mortar?
  13. Thank you all! Yesterday I had a go at it. I work in a printing factory and that is a benefit. Last week my team and I made a weekly journal containing 20 pages. I could copy the PDF's and make them smaller (25 mm high) and printed a copy. Then I made a mistake. I folded them into each other. It took me a while to understand I should have fold them onto each other... Here is the result, my copy of Alice in Wonderland and a songbook. When I enlarged the picture I noticed that I stuck the front of Alice upside down, haha.
  14. Oops, that would be 1:12... Thank you all, I will look at Youtube and Jim's.
  15. Hi folks, I can not to seem to find anything on the website. Do you know any tutorials?
  16. I am sooooo jealous, this is lovely.
  17. We have bought another house, in real life that is. The next 5 months my stuff is going to be in boxes... There will be no time or place for my smal house until then, I hope I can fight the addiction. When we have moved our stuff to the new home there will be a room for my hobby and that's a improvement!
