  • In this video I show how to frame a scale model house. I cut 1 by 4 lumber into wood strips and build a scale version of a 24' by 32' house. I tried to frame the windows and doors just like I would on a real house.

      Spyder Lord so we have carpentry and we make a modeled house but we actually start from bottom but I think he doesent know what he is doing super glue is not made for wood wood glue will hold as long as you have clamps to hold it plus your project will look better but we also don't use staples

    I love it. One of my favorite things to see is a wood framed house. I love when I spot one and try to go by each day to see it come together. I hate when they start to clad it with the exterior materials so you can't see all the framing. Thank you so much for doing this. For me a framed house is like candy. I just can't get enough of it. Tiny small homes that almost invite you to try and build it are the ones I like most.

    I made one of these out of balsa. I even made joists and put down 'subfloor' and framed a second floor AND roofing trusses. Stairs are hard. Mine is a smaller scale so that I could use available sized balsa and only cut to length.
    Your larger scale model could even be wired up with realistic looking wiring and LED fixtures, not to mention realistic looking HVAC and fake plumbing. Consider me inspired to make my own larger scale and go nuts!

Will include a raised floor foundation. It's difficult to make everything to scale. Had to set up a scale chart: 2x4 would be 2/16 x 5/16 and 2x6 would be 2/16 x 7/16, etc.

    I built my 26'×32' house with vaulted ceilings in the front half an 8' in the back half. This gives a feeling of space but allows for attic space and room for central air. Here are a few tips : Don't buy the cheapest windows they will fail within 5 years. Put some concrete mix under the shower unit for strength. Place washer and dryer along outer wall to vent easier. Drywall yourself , it is not that hard and will save a lot. Always overbuild when you can.

    • @cdjhyoung
      @cdjhyoung 4 роки тому

      Jerlin Vinso - You might be right about dry walling yourself in your area, but where I live they bid it by the square foot of surface so cheap, it hardly makes sense to do it yourself, unless of course you enjoy breathing drywall dust.

    When I build my scale framing models, I tried medium viscosity CA glue, but I found it's too brittle and fragile. I rebuilt my first wall using tiny dabs of hot melt glue followed by 5/8" 23 gauge pins using a Porter Cable pneumatic pin nailer following the NC Residential Building Code nailing schedule in 602.3(1). Works great. With a good pin nailer, you can easily replicate toe-nailing where applicable. I cut my rafter plumb cuts and bird mouths with a super sharp dozuki Japanese pull saw in a shop-made miter box jig.

    Quite a few years ago I built a scale model of a handicapped ramp to be used to demonstrate what our ramp ministry did (hoping to get some more volunteers.) It was about 24 inches long and all the pieces were cut to scale for the 4x4s and 2x6s actually use to build a real ramp. I appreciate the effort done here in making a 3D floor plan of their proposed house to they could have a nice visual image. Just because the individual pieces are not to "exact" scale, doesn't make it any less useful for the intended purpose. I really liked the project and maybe I'll build one of my house.
    I'll have to think about the scale properties of the "nails" from a pin nailer (new toy) and then adjust the sizes of the scale lumber accordingly. If I used 0.5" pin nails to be equal to a 16d construction nail, then the scale would be 7:1 and a "2x4" would be 0.25x0.5, etc. That seems doable and not too different from the dimensions used here. It's just that the house model would have been about 50% larger to be in approximate scale to match the "lumber."
    Anyway, great project - appreciate the effort.

    I’m hoping to build a 1/12 scale building or 2 for diorama/display use… this is pretty helpful. Just need to figure out the floor-plans for each of them, find a decent standin for drywall that won’t look weird and muster up the follow through to actually do the projects
    All I know is that I want to use one as a physical interpretation of my dream house, even though it’s unlikely to ever be realized in real life (never say never) and the other as a secondary mainstay in a figure comic series…
    I think for the sake of display, both should have swivel posts incorporated into the corners of the outer structure so I won’t have to worry about lifting off layers like a roof or a second floor… but I’d prolly want them to be heavy duty and secured to a fairly beefy foundation (beefy relative to 1/12 scale) to minimize drooping and shifting of the contents in each room
    Still a few years away from really starting anything like this, but it’s fascinating to think of the possibilities all the while

    So I don't have an awesome wood shop. How do you feel about making and selling the scale size lumber? I want to do model of an A-frame home.

    March 17, 2018---Pretty damn impressive how to video. There's an English guy doing the same, but in 1/35th scale, but then he retired as a contractor. Not only full walls with studs, etc. but drywall, roof w/beams, etc.

      Wow, that other model sounds impressive! To do drywall and a roof would take some time...but I'm sure it would look great when it was done!

    • @chaddiy3512
      @chaddiy3512  7 років тому +3

      Some of the walls I did 16 and some 24 just to same time. If I buit it for real, it would all be 16 on center.
