Where do you find those tiny clamps?

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

So glad you enjoyed it! Do you mean the plastic clamps or the metal one? Actually I think I got them both at Harbor Freight. If you live in the US check to see if you have a Harbor Freight store near by... it is an amazing source for tools... even mini tools! They may sell online too.. I am not sure ;)

I can't believe that I never thought about making miniatures until I found a Channel on "Sales Man Samples" and my heart swelled with joy because as a child my doll house was my pride and joy! I haven't made my Miniture yet but I've started gathering supplies! Its so much fun looking at every thing I put in my recycle bin to see what I can turn it into! Yeah Thank You so much for sharing you Wonderful Talent your Amazing! Im Subscribed!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you so much for your awesome comment and welcome to the channel!😊

[@Animei9]

That is so cute and it looks authentic. Very nicely done. There is a reason that the ice goes on top. Cold sinks. Putting ice in the lower compartment would have left the upper portion of the ice box warm. Ice was often very clear. It was cut from the surface of frozen lakes and then shipped by rail. I don't know how much I would have liked having lake water dripping onto my food in the lower compartment. They didn't have plastic wrap or containers to keep the food fresh in. Sure makes me appreciate modem refrigerators. But ice boxes are much prettier to look at

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you for the kind words and info! I hope to see an icebox in person someday... i have never seen one. It would even be better if I could find a working one!

I love this project, but my eyes are too old to attempt the tiny details. You did a fantastic job, Ara. My sisters are old enough to remember the ice man delivering to our house--in a horse drawn wagon. I'm not quite that old, but I do remember the ice box was on our back porch and the outhouse in the backyard.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Rainsong! I wonder how they kept the ice insulated in the wagon? Or if they just had to deliver on a quick time schedule. Although I guess when the ice blocks are a certain size they can last a while! ;)

[@TheRedxQueen]

Thank you kindly for this! I have just finished the oven and starting this so I can have something for my haunted house! Thought I would give a tip with cutting machines! I use the lightest setting with a kraft blade (cameo) just to score a little bit onto the top of the board so I have an easy guide with the exacto blade to keep a straight line. This eliminates the use of a straight edge when cutting :)

[@annewebbjohnson4157]

Brilliant hinges, and though you've made the fridge out of card stock - with the pattern which you've so kindly given to us, it could easily be translated into wood. Love the colour scheme and everything about this. Thank you so much.

[@sjfiet]

Thank you for this tutorial! A way to make the bottom hinge rolling easier might be to make it a tad longer. Glue a separate piece of paper clip to it and roll it up just like the top hinge piece. Then unroll a bit and cut the pin off. Then it should be fairly easy to reroll it.

I think I might just get off with using this in my Varda which is technically 1:9th but needs something for the kitchen bit and I have been struggling with what. I think this may just fit the space. (It needs a kitchen and I have made a stove and the seating and bed is sorted but I am at a loss how to deal with the gap where the food prep would happen. I think I may just make one anyway as my 1:12th could do with an icebox. The hardware looks amazing! It's worth however much work it takes because it looks so good!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am so glad this will help with your design!

[@TodaysSpecialMinis]

I think you did a GREAT job with this. It's so funny that making some vintage appliances is also on my miniatures to do list - and almost like these EXACT styles. I have pinned a bunch for inspiration. Now I wish I had an electronic cutting machine because I like the idea of printing it on the mat board even if you can't cut through it. I don't know how you had the patience to fiddle with those tiny hinges - I make hinges, too, but have a different method. The colors came out almost exactly the same (the fridge just came out the tiniest bit greener than the stove - or that could be the lighting, I dunno). But you gave me an idea for making matching pieces at different times. I think I will start keeping a color recipe book for miniature sets or suites. That way I will know to use 3 drops of this and 2 drops of that to get a matching shade of XYZ color. Congrats on 10K. I'm gonna get there, too!!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

How fun that we are on the same track!! And I love the idea of the color journal... super smart! Yes you will definitely get there! I just subscribed ;)

I was going to suggest a Hoosier, too! The one I have is oak but when we bought it, it was coated with a thick layer of horribly stained white paint. My husband stripped it back to its original finish. The only thing he was not able to do was refurbish the tambour door. Our Hoosier has served as a breakfast counter, baking center and later became my husband's home office.
