    Method 1
    Cut lengths of timber to the size of each wall, cut to height of brick and width required then using a chisel or Stanely knife score the length of the bricks on the face of the timber strip, ariss the 2 edges to define the bed joint of the brick course.
    Now glue each course (length of timber) off setting each layer by 1/2 a brick to create your wall.

    Method 2
    Cut your timber to the size of wall required, using a marking / cutting gauge (or set a shallow height on your table saw and progressively moving the fence cut bed joint lines), deep score the bed joint lines, then using a square and Stanely knife, score the vertical joints (perpends) in line on alternate courses
    The person who never made a mistake never made anything

    I like the idea of the table saw. Problem is, the kerf would be too wide

    What about the Dremel circular saw and a guide?
    Just an idea.

    Default Brick Wall

    Hi Fozzy When I make a brick wall or chimney for the Doll Houses I use a Dremel with a cut off blade for the

    brick courses and make a metal jig for the perp joints and use it as you would a punch, this is the only

    pic I could find to show the brick work and it was then made to look old and was in 1/12 scale hope this helps,

    Eddie
