Framed dollhouse structure

Charlie Self · 2007-01-20T12:59:41+00:00

Has anyone built a dollhouse using a stick-built frame?I'm thinking of doing something like that, using basic constructiontechniques for the '90s (1890s), but my brain is simply pulling a plugwhen it comes time to figure a reasonably fast and secure method forthe framing members. Epoxy? Expensive, but workable. Short brads?I've built dollhouses before, but never using stick-built methods.Plywood is easier, but...This is probably overkill, but it's something I figured might be fun todo (or it might drive me even further round the bend).

I've got a couple of those around somewhere, too. Shop or office, maybe both. Sigh. The joys of being something less than neat.

There appear to be two standard dollhouse scales: 1/2" to 12"; 1" to

12". As Joe Fumblefinger, I'm going with the larger, but I'm already past considering doing the whole house in framing. I'm too old too finish it that way, I think.

Decoration, furniture and residents are the option of the final recipient of the thing.

Find that architect scale.

Both of the above are standard scales on it.

1/2" to 12"; 1" to

Found two of them, one on a shelf next to the dryer (I'm afraid to ask how it got there), and the other stuck in with a batch of pens in a UVa drink cup (SIL is a UVa graduate for his sins).
