I worked on making a porcelain fuse block for the knob and tube system today. This is for the service entrance that brings power into the structure. I used polymer clay (Sculpey in Pearl) since it was easiest to mold and shape and would look enough like porcelain to pass.
I used jewelry findings for the connectors. The measurements for the real deal are roughly 3" x 6" from the few I saw listed for sale. Mine is a little large for scale at 1/2" x 3/4", but it's all relative in the barn and it shouldn't make a difference for realism. I didn't think I could successfully work any smaller. :D
Once the baking is done, I'll add the knife switch and fuses. Then it will be ready to install.
