  • Hello everyone! This is my first miniature/dollhouse room box built from scratch. The room box has a pretty bay window, and I'll show you how to paint the faux wood bench. It also features a mahogany parquet floor, antique cylinder roll-top desk, and of course a beautiful library shelf full of books.
    Unintentional ASMR-Use headphones if you want to listen closely to the sounds of cutting, sanding, and painting!
    Sit with me and watch the past few months’ work as I build this precious little library ♥

    I was a creative little child and I loved to try all sorts of new ways to create. We couldn’t afford much so my mom would take me to Hobby Lobby and we would go straight back to the clearance section and I would get to choose one thing to take home. Right beside the clearance section, tucked away in its own little magical corner, was all of the miniature dollhouse items. I always dreamed of being able to afford to make miniatures as a hobby. It’s hard for me to work with miniatures now because of my unsteady hands, but I still love to watch others work. Absolutely gorgeous and I thank you for sharing your creations with us. It is like coming home ❤

    This was absolutely the best build I have seen! You are pretty picky with your library, and it shows. If we would take only one or two new ideas from you, it will be worth it. I will watch this again just to watch how you make this look so easy. I've made my share of books, and they aren't all that much fun when you do as many as you did. I can't really choose a favorite, they turned out perfect. My father was a master carpenter, and I remember watching him work. He loved the hardwoods, mohogany being his favorite.

But I'm nervous to start making a miniature bookshelf since I've never made one before. I'm sure I'll be very slow. Maybe I'll start by making the stacks of books. That, I can do!

    For applying glue, one thing you might try is a 'silicone brush', it looks like a fan brush but solid silicone instead of bristles. Hobby stores tend to sell them around where they stock casting epoxy and resin supplies. Similar premise to what a woodworker might use; though the larger tool looks more like a big basting brush or paint roller.
    Upside is the flexible head makes it easier to spread out a nice thin and even layer of glue; and the silicone means you can peel the glue right off so cleaning the brush is a cinch.
    I have even used this with epoxy in the past, and there are these clay tools that are like mini versions of this, they also work so long a they're silicone. They might be good for when you need to glue up really tiny pieces.
    Also just another note since you mentioned how the wood glue is gritty - an old carpenters trick is to add salt to your glue; the added grit keeps pieces from sliding around when clamped up. No idea what Elmers glue uses, but it's doubtless why they add grit.

    • @mminmakes
      @mminmakes  16 днів тому +1

      Thank you, this is wonderfully helpful!! I've got to keep an eye out for those silicone brushes. I tried using toothpicks but the glue does build up and it seemed wasteful to keep using new ones. I hate cleaning brushes and palettes so peeling the glue off sounds like a dream.
      I do prefer the gritty texture of that wood glue over regular white glue! Makes sense to have it with bit of 'grip' so things don't slide around when you apply pressure.

    • @nonamo5700
      @nonamo5700 15 днів тому

      @@mminmakes If you can't find the kind of brush I mentioned, you could maybe use a silicone spatula (like for frosting); I've occasionally seen small ones that wouldn't be too inconvenient to use.
      You could also always modify the spatula; cutting it to a more useful size or shape. I did something similar with a basting brush, cutting the bristles shorter so they didn't flop glue everywhere
      Best of luck, and good work!
