Thread: Scrollsawn mini "love seat"

Jeez, you have more patience than I'll ever have. Good result, hope SWMBO is very happy.

Nice work Sean, does it have an intended use?

the Lil Love Seat is amazing! Bamboo skewers for dowels?? must be a tiny love seat. Even more amazing!

Cheers

Real cute. Will she fit?

Nice work Sean, a prototype for the full size one next week?

I better go now I am just getting sillier.

Would look great in a minature set or dolls house. A friend of mine, his wife makes minatures and even the dolls including using a kiln for the porcelin hands and heads of the dolls.

Sawn on my Delta 40-540 using a #5 FDSR blade, timber is messmate hand planed to (varying ) thickness of about 9mm.

Used bamboo skewers to "dowel" together, couldn't figure out how to hold it for gluing otherwise.

Spraypainted with very pale green interior house paint (she has a thing for green )

G'day Sean,

Lovely - and as Alex said, I can't imagine where you find the patience. Great job

FWIW, I think I'd have preferred the natural timber look, maybe just with some Tung/Danish oil - but I wouldn't want to wish a back-to-bare-timber sanding job on the piece, even to someone I had a serious dislike for :eek:

BTW, my understanding was that a traditional 'love seat' had the two occupants at 180deg to each other; presumably to facilitate some, er, serious smooching :eek: .

I'm sure that your partner will appreciate this - maybe you could find space on it for a clip-board list of "much needed" shop tools

Thanks all for the kind comments, pressie went over well today

Brett - nah, mate, just more crap to clutter up the place

Teejay, funny, someone on the bride's rubberstamping forum suggested the full size one too

Steve, yeah I prefer the timber look too, but per the old saying I guess - "beauty is in the eye of the benchholder"

I'm a few jobs behind on the "barter for tools" program


Cheers....................Sean

But wouldnt having those tools help you catch up with those jobs?

Brett, I like how you think
