It Wasn't Meant to be Half Scale!



So I saw this rather neat bird-house tower in an old issue of DHMS magazine, and decided to try it. No scale was mentioned, so I assumed it was 1/12th. The post it sits on may have been that scale, but the bird houses were definitely way too small, they would have measured about 4 inches (10 cm) to a side. As I had started it, I decided it might as well be finished.

So here it is, two days of work which I will add to my shop stock, as I do NOT intend to switch scales at this point!

  1. Hmm... a lot of the lanterns I make are half scale. I'll have to give this a try. It's cute!

  2. Hopefully, someone with a half scale setting will like it and buy it!

  4. You could probably figure out 1:12 scale mathematically from the plans, if you still want to have one for yourself. :)
