Still working in the servants quarters

I have been quite busy with my miniature work lately but not all Ashcroft Hall. I am trying to save money by making as much of the furniture etc myself. So I have been busy buying wood and learning woodworking skills. I have a dremel and a scroll saw and circular saw amongst other things. Diddicukt to master but very addictive.

Also I offered to dress a friends dolls house in a Xmas theme so mostly been doing that. I haven't got many photos to show you. But here goes

WHAT A TRIAL!

I could not source double plain doors so decided to make my own by making balsa wood panels on the front of another door. Cut,sanded,and stained the doors.  Was very pleased with the result. However the doors are for the front of a shelved cupboard. And guess what...........the doors open inward and are fouled by the inner shelves!!!!

So back to the drawing board. I will have to put panels on the back and place them in my homemade wall inside outs what a chore. Anyhow it was the first time I have done doors so very pleased with the initial result.
