Building a Cottage with Stones

[@Spydertravel]

Where a lot of others are laser printing parts and using expensive tools that no one can afford, it was very nice to see such nice work using the most basic tools. My respects to you! Beautiful.

They aren’t ‘expensive tool no one can afford’…they are tools for different people. Ei. Hobbyists and professionals. Professionals started as hobbyists too, but when you are skilled enough and you no longer find interest in overly repetitive tasks, you are being paid, and you are on a time crunch…you get professional tools.

[@mariadefatimareis6147]

Parabéns, muito inteligente, lindo,

[@powertothebauer296]

spydertravel. what is expensive tools ,if this guy can't even buy a fret saw and a razor saw as well a pin vice or a hand drill. all this tools together are cheaper than his Swiss Army knife. btw nice cottage

[@greasymcpatty]

When I was just a little kiddo, I liked to make little fairy houses. But all I had were styrofoam cups, duct tape, markers, and scissors, but I did the best I could. It makes me smile to see something like this in the making.

[@lLushKitty]

Hrmmmm.... What decade were you a child? When I was in late elementary school (around aged 9), Legos already existed. Prior to that, there was Lincoln Logs that came in a tall, cylindrical canister. And Barbie with her inflatable furniture as well as Playskool's Little People that were made out of plastic heads and wooden bodies ... the latter with a tri-storied garage, an aeroport, construction site, and a house that opened up like a book... And other Playskool toys that were made from hybrid materials of plastic and wood. I had the ENTIRE Playskool family as well as two dollhouses, the aeroport/plane, garage, and a musical merry-go-round/ferris wheel.

[@linas-oh3kq]

​@lushkitty734 Hummmmm..... In what DECADE were you a HUMAN WITH A HEART? Sounds like you had toyland handed to you on a silver platter. Well, a lot of us aren't that lucky! Some of us are born into poor families and have to appreciate what we have and make use of what we get. But of course you privileged few. Never think about that. Because your all to wrapped up in yourselves. It seems like greasymcpatty's childhood could've been like that and FLAUNTING YOUR RICHES LIKE YOUR DOING DOESN'T MAKE YOU ANY BETTER THEN HER/HIM EITHER! 😠

[@greasymcpatty]

@@linas-oh3kq Easy now. I'm not upset at her.

[@gamingbug283]

I used to build fairy houses for the Rolly Polly's everywhere I went out of leaves and sticks when I was little, did that from three to ten years of age. It was great to just sit under a tree and find cool rocks while looking for bugs to build a house for.

[@crush3095]

I DEEPLY enjoyed that part of my childhood

[@aligracesherbalplace6159]

For Those wanting to know what the paste is I think it's mosaic stone cement. 20$ for 2lbs in my area.

[@lzsuzsa1]

What is the spray at the end?

[@SiljeMeum]

@@lzsuzsa1 Probably A sealant spray for grout.

[@moumitamandal3235]

Is it long time durable?

[@aligracesherbalplace6159]

@moumitamandal3235 um. If you doesn't get hit or dropped it will last a long time. Depending on how you place your stones can make it weaker to but I mean I've dropped one I made and only the a few of the top layer of stones came off. So it's decently strong. There is also kinds of that cement that is for outdoors and lasts longer also.

[@MechmanGetrieb]

Could be! Or it is a cement für tiles that also bonds with wood. I used that kind of tile cement in my house. As he is mixing it with water it must be something like it.

[@gred_and_forge]

Did you just use glue, or was it a mixture of different things like mod podge? if so, what did you use?

[@michelauccelli4431]

A guy in the upper commenta suggested mosaic cement!

[@myragroenewegen5426]

Lovely. I'd build it around a large cut-out hole in the floor, so I could add a light inside it. If you experiment with window shape, size and style, you might even give yourself room to put acat in the window. Flower boxes in the window? This is such a convincing base, so it's fun to think about the extras that might work with it. Maybe with some effort I could even find little geometric stain glass window-hangings to build in, allowing for some stain glass windows. alongside the normal ones.

[@Tish-zt1yg]

You could easily make the windows with alcohol inks on clear plastic bottle pieces or even with cling wrap,

Decades ago I build a wall using shale collected from the local creek bed. I still have that diorama, with a Luchs abandoned beside the gate to a French farm, for lack of gasoline. Natural materials are easy to collect. Last summer I collected two buckets of road fill, bought a set of sieves from Amazon and now have all the rocks, stones, talus and dirt I'll ever need. Collect large plastic jars and off you go.

[@HisWordisLife4U]

Beautiful little stone house. I made one with cedar shingles and white trim with a thatched roof, and real clay hearth, fireplace and chimney--which took the most time. I love the way all the colors came alive at the end when you applied the sealer. Can you put this outside in the garden? What are the products used for the grout and sealer?

[@rallymum5246]

Quite possibly just tile grout Sealer possibly a marine grade lacquer if you want to put it outside

[@davecass9486]

wonderfull i am inspired, but 40 years experience as a builder makes me want to say, why not stagger the roofing and ridge planks, same amount of timber, (lolly sticks) stronger, better looking, and more weatherproof ! also i think if/when i collect enough pebbles and lolly sticks, i would use either neat cement or 2:1 . need to find a nice base fot it first. anyhoo great post from you, love it.

[@mikemike775]

so when you start making these on YOUR youtube channel YOU can make what YOU want, dont go into another persons shop and start telling how YOU would of made it. YOU should of kept the reply simple nice work thanks for putting your time into putting this on youtube plain and simple.

[@schwarzesonne6529]

​@@mikemike775I actually came to the video specifically for Dave's comment.

[@prunabluepepper]

04:52, tip for improving your windows: You need to add a bulkhead, because you want the head-bar to bear the load of whatever comes on top. Instead with your window the forces are punctually distributed on the narrower side linings or jamb and the whole window is basically kept up by the mullion or sash bars. The head should be 'the head' of a window to spread the top-load evenly. Your windows only cover side load. And no, I'm not a carpenter either. Your door hinges should also be inside the house, not outside, but i understand you did that for 'the looks'. Apart from that, nice built!

[@prunabluepepper]

@@artandarchitecture6399 One should think that, but the stone lintel itself distributes the weight to the lower stones, that in turn need to distribute the force somewhere. The force is not distributed straight down, as the window opening offers an area of stress release.

[@ratsumatra3003]

What a great idea! I would love to make one of these. I would only add a thought for others, if they have hands , such as mine. I would paint and stain the wood before I put it together. Then I would touch up anything that needed it. I would make a mess of things, trying to paint something that small and do it neatly.

[@matthewbaxter7876]

You could probably use an interior or exterior grout filler

You were doing well until you got to the roof. It would leak like a sieve. The tiles need to be side by side. I like the rock work and will try this out but i wouldn't allow any gaps in the mortar as its meant to keep out the weather. Overall a very nice project though so well done. And yes i do build scratchbuilt 28mm fantasy buildings.

[@generalpublic3744]

I agree with the comments already made, a list of components would be helpful. The "cement" looks like readymade water based plaster/wood filler available in most DIY stores. I would have pre stained the wood prior to fitting to avoid getting it on the plaster and stone, unless you have a very steady hand! As for the stones, ideal if you live an area with hills and water courses, or the coast, otherwise look around DIY stores for decorative rocks, though many will be too flat if its gravel, or too big. Not sure about the door, why does it need to open? Nothing was done with the interior.

[@lpmoron6258]
