Why is something this small creating this much mess?!

At the moment I am cutting staining eeny weeny bits of wood for some floors and mouldings. Can't wait to finish one of the rooms.

It's amazing how some projects can cause a lot of mess. At the moment my house is standing on my husbands workmate!! I am hoping to get the basement later for the house but for now it's handy to put tools and things under. I've yet to do my mouldings. Trouble is with me I tend to start several things at once instead of finishing one project. I will think of something and want to do it straight away and leave what ever I was doing. It is a lovely hobby and I am really enjoying it.

Gelfling, you are so organised!

I usually do it in front of the TV and by the time I have brought various tools in, boxes of scraps, bits of paper, lolly sticks and toothpicks and other offcuts of wood, then had the cat walk through the lot... that is mess!

Hahaha, yes for once I am glad my cat isn't living in this house with me

HI I somehow must have missed this thread
It all looks so nice 144th items don't think I could even see them
I have been told that mostly the smaller than 1/12 things are not so defined is this true I have not actually seen any in real time.
The cabinet looks beautiful though . You have really worked hard on this property.

Hi,

I'd just like to point out that the very early photos are from my 12th scale house I wish I could achieve that in 144th!

144th is not very defined at all. You can get some quite sweet little pieces of furniture though.

At the moment I'm just trimming mouldings and wooden floors to go in the cabinet, and although I have tried very hard with a ruler and very fine blade, they are still wonky. I think it's unavoidable on this scale really. It's all going to look quite crude in the photos on here I think because they are larger than real life. I always spot my mistakes when I put the photos up.

I haven't found many 144th accessories. I have just found a tutorial on how to make 144th perfume bottles out of 1mm and 0.5mm no hole beads. The 0.5mm beads arrived today and they are so tiny they're more like dust particles than beads! Don't know how I'm going to grab them with my tweezers or glue them anywhere.
