I Want To Start Building Doll Houses, What Tools And Supplies Would I Need?
25 Oct
Posted by: in: doll house
I need to know specifics about what type of wood to use, since I haven’t done a project like this before. Would a nail gun work for this? I’ve used one before so I know how to work with it. Where can I find a good book on building doll houses? I’ve built a few elaborate things before without a guide, but they were on a much larger scale.

Thanks so much!

You will also need a square, tape measure, saw, work bench, clamps, glue, scroll saw, and sander. Add paint brushes, primer, and different colors of paint.
As to some plans and instruction, go to the public library and ask for some craft books and DIY books. They may need to be ordered from a main warehouse so call first.

A sander will help with wood finishing..Those are your basics and if you plan on putting hinges on the doors I’d say get a nice screw driver set. http://www.tools-plus.com/ sells a lot of the tools you will need. I recommend them because they are fast at shipping and have great customer service no matter what questions are asked.
