I agree, it is MAGNIFICENT!!! The chairs are such a cool addition! One question, is the door a printed door or is it the gold pin stripe tape. I noticed it had a little gold square in one of the panes. If that's pin stripe tape you must have the hands of a surgeon to make such a perfect square!!! LOVE IT! :)


brian...the door opening measures 1/2" wide x 1" high...the material is red acetate...same as the windows...yes...that is 1/32" wide gold pinstripe tape...our friend, "PutzinVT" introduced me to it...the details are posted in the "building section" of this website...

note...i did have to make a couple of doors to get it right...especially the little panel in the center...

i wear a magnifying visor, similar to the one shown below, about 100% of the time i'm in the shop...got started wearing one when i made musical instruments...it was the only way i could measure in fractions of a millimeter...

Those magnifiers are cool! I can see how they would help!! That's really cool you can work that small, it's like those guys who put the little ships into bottles...mind boggling/blowing!! :) Anytime I have to work in that tight of a spot I always hold my breath....have probably come close to passing out a few times. :)

Actually, Brian, you did pass out and the good little elves finished it for you. Oh, wait, this isn't my Christmas stories page, is it? :-)
