At our most recent meeting of the miniature club, we got to talking about what we might do next. I had an idea of doing a craftsman style house front porch, complete with a porch swing.
I've always liked the craftsman style houses - especially the gently sloping columns on the porch. Those should be interesting to cut out with my table saw!
Above is my PowerPoint "drawing" of what I proposed to club members. Based on the feedback I received, it looks like this could be our next project.
When I drew up the plans, my wife suggested that we make it a welcome sign. So, we will most likely cut out half-inch tall letters to set into the framed box below the house. We will make these so that they can be hung on the wall. I'm hoping they will be no more than about 8" deep.
It looks like a fun project! I look forward to seeing it built.

ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies! I've been pretty busy lately, and haven't had much time to focus on miniatures. Not sure how much I'll get to them in the next few months. Our barbershop projects are nearly complete. I'll share those with you probably in January. ;o)
