1/4 scale Rolltop Desk


Recommended Posts

Had a challenge from an ole schoolmate to build a rolltop desk.  At the time I was posting some of my 1/12 scale furniture on face book.  I want to share a few pictures of the rolltop desk I built.  I had plans for a fullsize desk so I just scaled it down to the size I wanted.  1/12 scale I felt was too small to do all the dadoes and mortise and tenon construction I wanted.  Took me 86 hours to build.  I have many pictures of how I built the desk if you want I can do a build log if interested let me know.

P.S.  Which brings me to all you, I wanted or needed another challenge and I never built a ship before so here I am.  Learning something every time I come to this forum.  Thank you all.

Very cool, Kurt. 

I can instantly think of a dozen questions about this desk so, yes please, I would like to see a log and get a look at your processes.

A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin
