Making Dolls' House Furniture - Tips for Working with Wood

[@JulieWarren]

The wood I mention in the video as being one of my favourites, is called Obeche.

[@1sixscalecrafter351]

Hey Julie Warren, Good day to you, I hope you're doing well? I just found your channel: subscribed, liked, and shared. This Making Dolls' House Furniture - Tips for Working with Wood was very informative and just Excellent! Thank you for sharing your time, tips, talents, skills, ideas, knowledge, great instructions, and super fun awesome videos. Take care, keep on doing what you love to do, and I hope you have a wonderful day. Peace & Joy. Back to more videos. :D

[@JulieWarren]

Hi, Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel and for sharing too! I'm glad you found the working with wood video helpful. When I was starting out in the hobby I found it rather daunting knowing what wood to use and how to cut it etc, which gave me the idea for this video! Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a lovely day too!

[@1sixscalecrafter351]

Thank you kindly. Your ideas, tips, videos are just so superb and inspiring to me. YOU ROCK! :D

[@jilliejohnson5788]

Julie Warren Hi. I love your videos!! You have inspired me!! Im having a hard time finding the obeche Wood any where. Can you help? I live in the United States... Thank you kindly!!!

[@JulieWarren]

Hi Jillie, thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I'm not sure that Obeche is readily available in the US, but bass wood or lime wood is very similar in texture and density, so that would be a good alternative. I hope that helps.

[@tfpvlogsandvids1339]

Julie, I have to watch your videos at least twice. The first time around your voice and your accent are soooo relaxing that I forget that I'm supposed to be learning something and instead I just listen lol

[@JulieWarren]

That's so funny! A lot of people say my voice sends them to sleep! :)

[@helengibson8196]

This video has so much information and advice. Thank you Julie for sharing your expertise with us all 🌷

[@EmmaMorgan09]

I would recommend referring back to this video regularly… I didn’t realise how many tips I’d forgotten over time! Attention to detail is so important for a good finish. Once again, thanks Julie 💗💐

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you, Emma. As miniaturists, it's good to form habits, such as making sure the wood is straight after each cut - I know it seems rather time-consuming, but it's worth it in the end! :)

[@michaelevans205]

Great video! I'm a plastic scale modeller of many decades (🥺)! My wife is heavily into doll's houses and has recruited me to assist with the furniture. I'm no DIYer but for some reason I'm not too bad at miniatures. It's been about ten years since I last made things out of wood so this refresher is invaluable! Thanks for the upload.

[@JulieWarren]

Thanks Michael, I’m glad you found it helpful. 👍

[@bethgaither1214]

This video came up today on my KZbin history. It is still an excellent video that I have referred to many times over the years and would recommend to anyone interested in miniature making of any kind. ❤

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much Beth. xx

[@sharonmallar4970]

Oh my God I'm going to add this marvelous video to my sleep videos. What a marvelous voice! I had to listen to this video twice so I could remember to pay attention to the instructions

[@JulieWarren]

Thanks Sharon. Perhaps I should add a blast of music every so often, in case any body starts nodding off! :)

[@bonnieweakley7405]

Thank you! I’m starting this journey for my granddaughters and looking forward to providing lots of great furniture items for them to enjoy and maybe make this a hobby. This is a great start. 😊

[@JulieWarren]

You are very welcome Bonnie. The best of luck with your granddaughters dolls house. :)

[@charleslindquist9456]

I have been making dollhouse furniture for 20 years. As careful as I have been, I never realized that cutting on the side of the pencil mark makes a difference. Cutting corners against the grain first, knowing that the thickness of the blade affects the size of each cut, using a scrap piece of wood when the ruler is larger than the piece...and the many tips you showed will make my pieces much easier to build without all the sanding I've had to do. You are truly a "Master of Building Dollhouse Furniture". I am purchasing both your books on Amazon and I am following your tutorial for the "Welsh Dresser". Thank You for your generous sharing of you talents.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much Charles. I'm so glad you picked up a few tips from the video and I hope you'll enjoy building the Welsh dresser.

[@kayantoinette]

I just discovered your channel and want to say thank you for offering your knowledge. I followed your tutorials to make two dollhouse beds and just ordered more supplies to make your kitchen sink tutorial. I am a first timer and you are so very easy to follow. Such a beautiful soothing voice and so much great info.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much, that's very kind.

[@solve756]

I have a feeling watching this has saved me from doing all sorts of mistakes! I'm a complete beginner but want to make a 1:6 scale dollhouse. I plan to use some of your awesome tutorials although it will take some light math to scale things up. Thank you for your work!

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you, I'm glad you found the information useful. Most of my tutorials translate really well into 1:6 and I hope you have fun with your builds.

[@chouchoue]

I didn't learn anything I didn't already know, but the tips on working with and against the grain to avoid splits & rough edges are great. This is a great video.

Thank you Julie, i wish I had seen this a few weeks ago when I started my project, I wasted quite a bit of wood ( but have kept it for scraps) and i have made some quite wonky furniture due to mis sizing. Now I can work in much more efficient way and make better looking furniture !😊

[@angelastone2897]

Thank you, Julie, for suggesting that I watch this video, there was a lot of good information here. When I started making dollhouse furniture, I was probably about 12 or 13 years old, and all I used was balsa wood, probably because it was cheap for my parents to buy, and soft enough for it to be cut fairly safely. It was the only wood I ever knew for furniture making if I hadn't watched your video first, I probably would have just gone for balsa from history without considering other options. Through the use of things such as copper tape, by the time I was married, my dollhouse had developed to be fully decorated, with electricity, lighting, and even a working radio and fireplace. It was far from perfect, but I thought it was pretty good for a kid who had no one to help her because no adults in her life had no interest in dollhouses, and the internet was not accessible back then, not just yet, it was just around the corner. I was probably 19 or 20 when we moved out of our first apartment, with our first child, and my husband and his friends accidentally dropped it down four flights of stairs, and it was rubble at the bottom. Knowing what I know now, if I had used a wood that was a bit harder, maybe it would have survived the fall better. I grieved as if I had lost a friend. My husband promised me a new one, but with a new baby, in the middle of a new move, and both of us just starting out, with money being tight, I knew we had neither the money to spare, and I did not have the time to devote, because 6 more children came after, and thirty years passed. Now I am at a point in my life where only the two youngest are left, and they are 17 and 15, old enough to stay out of things and not touch, and I have found myself spending many hours over the past six months or so watching hundreds of dollhouse and furniture videos. My husband has not forgotten his promise to me all these years, it's a matter of making a place to work, and getting my mind made up. We homeschooled all our children, and have a small room that for over two decades collected many books, microscopes, letter tiles, and craft supplies. But the truth is, I haven't seen a child touch a thing in that room in the past year or two, everyone likes to do things online now. Well, of course, they use the craft stuff, but the books are just obsolete, we don't need all the curriculum and things that we needed when we began to homeschool. The girls and I have been cleaning the room out a box at a time, to the library, or local thrift, or whatever. That room is being repurposed to be my doll and dollhouse room. So, in the meantime, I watch videos, because I have no room to work, and have literally no idea what craft supplies I even have at this moment. But I dream...

[@JulieWarren]

I actually felt sick when you said about the dollhouse being dropped! It must have been so awful seeing all your hard work go to waste. My childhood dollhouse was lost somewhere in between moving houses, and although it wasn't very grand, I still think of it now and wonder what became of it! It's going to be so much fun getting your work room set up and gathering together all the tools and supplies you'll need! It is great to have a room solely to work in. That way you don't have to worry about tidying things away at the end of the day, you can just walk away and shut the door behind you! I'm so glad you're getting back into the hobby and that you've found some inspiration from my videos.

[@mrscalifdreamer]

Oh my goodness! Your story sounds so much like mine except the 7 children...I only had 6! And the homeschooling stories I could tell!! Lol. My one and only dollhouse was taken from my mother’s house. We never found out who took it. 😢 I’ve seen many doll houses online and in stores but have decided to make my own. And furnish it all! Julie, you have given us back a part of our childhood that was important to us and gave us hours of happiness. Thank you and I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart!

Yes, they are the same, just named differently depending on which country you're in. :)

[@amandajones6481]

Dear Julie, I've never seen your channel before and I'm very glad that I found it. I've just subscribed and liked, and I loved your video tutorial on making miniatures with wood. It can be very confusing to know what type of wood to use. The one I use is basswood because it's easy to find in different thicknesses. I bought a pair of mitre shears and they're great for cutting popsicle sticks as well as narrow lengths of basswood cornicing on a 45 degree angle to make miniature frames. What do you think of jewellers saws for cutting through basswood, or would you recommend something else? Thanks again. Cheers from Amanda Jones in Melbourne, Australia ❤

11:45 I’ve also found out that if you cut other pieces of wood using your previous one you may end up cutting the pieces bigger.

[@JulieWarren]

Yes, that's right - it's always best to measure and cut each piece using your rule.

[@unaallcock9380]

Julie's information is spot on and rally helps whne making miniatures. Why have we had to wait so long for sensible informative tips. Hiow many of us have used a woodworkers book that has huge tools and expensive workshops when make miatures needs a differant approach. Many Many thanks Julie

[@gailtrend3277]

[@JulieWarren]

Hi gail, you need to sand the wood before and after construction of the piece. Apply light coats and sand in between too! It's all about the sanding! :)

[@joycebirrell2866]

When sanding edges straight what grade sandpaper should I use thank you

[@JulieWarren]

I usually use a 240. Just go along in the one direction and try not to apply too much pressure. :)

[@НаталияЖидовцева]

Your videos are great👍🏻 I can’t stop watching. I am not English speaking Pearson, but as far as I understand the mostly you are using 15mm wood? What about the most thin wood, where are you using it, I mean what for? Thank you 🙂

[@JulieWarren]

I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. The main wood is actually 1.5mm or 1/16 inch. The thin wood is 0.8mm or 1/32 inch. I hope that helps. :)

[@lynng3421]

What glue do you recommend for gluing the house together. I just purchased a kit from hobby lobby, and it says aileen glue to be used...is this the best choice for me?

[@JulieWarren]

Aileen's is a good make, I think it's a PVA glue, so will work, but I would recommend Gorilla Wood Glue, you might find it's a bit stronger. :)

[@PetrikNZ]

Thank you for this great video, but could you possibly list all the terms you mention down in the description, so we can search them out knowing the correct spelling. Eg. Abesh, Janka rating etc. Most of these items I've never heard of here in little old New Zealand. About the only thing I see here in craft/hobby shops is Balsawood.

[@JulieWarren]

Hi Petrik, I think you've picked out the only weird spelling there with the 'Abesh', which is actually spelled Obeche. Do have a look at the Wood Database website, as it's full of really great information and you should be able to find a wood native to New Zealand. I'm afraid I can't advise on where to buy in your part of the world, but if anybody else can help, it would be very much appreciated.

[@joannecarroll5504]

Petrik, I have a similar problem here in Australia - there's no specialised miniature shops & the hobby or DIY stores only stock v limited balsa. By playing on Google, I found some Model Railway specialist shops nearby & the occasional Art Supplies shop online that stock a few types of wood & metal for 'model making'. I also noticed that this wood sometimes gets called plywood here (Birch ply, Bass ply etc), just like at Bunnings, who incidentally do stock some huge ply 'project sheets' at 3mm & 2.7mm, but no real variety of woods here - you may have more luck over there. If all else fails, there's always Ebay or Etsy Studio. Good luck.

[@barbaraness4507]

I couldn’t find the first wood you mentioned before Obeche. In the transcript it calls it “gelatin “??

[@JulieWarren]

Hi Nina, I give cutting lists with all of my tutorials on this channel. Otherwise, you would need to measure a piece of furniture and devide the size by 12 to get the size that you need to rescale. Hope that helps.

[@rollebollen]

Thanks for your awesome videos! In our hobby store, they sell Baswood Plywood sheets. Does plywood generally work as well?

[@JulieWarren]

It would work well, but plywood is difficult to cut as it's a hard wood, so you wouldn't be able to use a hand-held craft knife.

[@TheSimidog]

When I have to cut really small pieces I use an emery board instead of a ruler as it grips the wood and stops slipping.

Hi Julie! I'm in the UK and wondered, is Basswood the same as Balsawood? Also, can all 4 of the woods you've named be used on a Cricut Maker (I'm thinking of buying one)? Obviously thickness matters.

[@JulieWarren]

Hi Sandra, Basswood is a better quality than Balsa, you'll find Balsa too flimsy for the main body of furniture, but is is useful for mouldings etc. I think Balsa can be used with the Cricut Makers, but not sure about Basswood.
