As some of you may know, I build 1:12 scale period furniture!

Our Miniature makers Club managed to get a three month period at one our neighborhood heritage museum to display all than we club members have built in the past three years ( some of it many more years ago ).
I shoot this video this past Saturday to feature what we have on display.
Hope you all enjoy it.

Thanks
I specialize in period scale furniture reproductions.

I work from original working drawings from books I get from major museums who have large furniture collections.
I mill my own "miniature" lumber from blocks of mahogany, walnut, cherry, maple and many exotics.
I band saw them and then thickness sand the resulting mini boards to Scale Thicknesses to within a few thousands of an inch so that realism is preserved. All drawers are dovetailed and original internal furniture joinery is duplicated even when not visible.

Other much more talented than I tackle electrification, crystal, china, pottery, mini foods and other such accessories.
I do room boxes, all the internal trim work, moldings, crown molding, doors, window frames, and glazing.
I also fabricate scale brass hardware such as pulls or drawer plates and pulls.
I also make miniature wood turned vases and other decorative pieces.

It's fun and probably more of a passion than printing and photography are. And you all know how much I love those two topics!
Anyways it does keep me very busy and prevent me from vegetating around the house instead.

Very impressive. It must take a lot of patience to work in that much detail. I fear I would become frustrated and it would not be pretty. Great talent!

Wow, I come to this site every morning and never browse thru all the other boards until lately.
Very nice to see such work and gives one a feeling of who people are and what they do here seeing this.
I am a Millman (real cabinet making) by trade since 1974 and truly appreciate what it means to work with raw stock lumber of any species.
Your work here Jose is astonishing and takes millwork to the extreme as furniture grade is an art of which you clearly master.
Very nice sir
