Victoria Carriage - New Scroll saw Project


Four Days ago I started to work on a new scroll saw project - a Victoria carriage. The pattern is not very difficult but like everything requires consistency and patience. Each day I tried to cut out as much parts as possible balancing between real and miniature life. I used 2 different contrasting kinds of wood: walnut and white ash, 1/8" each.

These are results of 4 days of work:

Day 1 - It was very late but I was so excited and cut out a couple of simple pieces.


Day 2 - It was a very productive day! That day my hubby called me a NUT, finding me in the garage at 5.00 a.m. working on these parts, :)))


Day 3 - There was not too much of free time, but I managed to cut out back wheels


Day 4 - I have finished cutting out front wheels and some small pieces.


I used very fine blades trying to avoid too much of sanding after all, however you can't ignore this process completely, so I prepared these pieces for sanding:


Time for sanding and finishing the wood! It will take some time!

Happy weekend!

I then find your post anyway, just clicking Home on your blog...I hate Blogger!!! Anyway...I so love this carriage already!!! I can't wait to see it assembled and I can believe how many small details you had to cut through....super well done!!!

  14. Hi Natalia! (Beautiful name!)

    Thanks so much for subbing to my blog.=) I've only recently discovered miniatures and getting a dolls house isn't an option just now, but I hope to do some mini-textiles soon. Need to get on with prototyping...

    Enjoy!
