Small Stamp Mill

[cnrglen]

I've done a fair amount since my first posting, time to update!

After I enlarged all the plans I photocopied them all to make template for the walls.


Then I transferred them onto some 3/16 foam core board which will be the main structure of the building with Board and Batten sheet laminated on top.

There are 11 walls in the build and it took almost an entire 2X3' sheet of foam core board to make all the walls.


Next was the laminating of the Board and batten, the foam board had a tendency to curve just a bit when the wood sheet was glued so I placed them between two books while drying.


Then I did some experimenting with stains and coloring. I ended up deciding on staining the wood with a gray wreathing stain, then using pastels to simulate dry fading paint over top.

I painted the backsides of all the walls black and some of the larger walls still needed some straightening so I used some 1/4" pine as a reinforcement.
