Mike that's about my method.
Dave,
Of course the Dr. 💩 ruins any schedule.
I'm just glad I got to retire!

Thanks gentlemen!
Just glad y'all are enjoying my insanity.
Currently working on something simple.
Of course I can't keep it simple.
Just a water tower/tank.

Impressive!!!!!!!
I look forward to more.
FWIW I think embossed rivets are acceptable, especially in your scale.

Well I thought I was done...
My bride reminded me I forgot the reins.
Hopefully those should be easy. (Famous last words)
This project just about pushed me over the edge.
Not that I was ever sane. 🤪

I am using a rotary paper cutter but at these thin specifications it still is a challenge.
Also making buckles and rings.
Glad y'all are enjoying my torture.

Thank you all.
I'm using scrapbook paper that has a texture to it.
Cutting 1/8" and 1/16" strips is challenging to say the least.
I've been looking at images I took at the Mennonite's and on line.

Working on the tack, harnessing, rigging.
This may kill me.

Thank you guys!
It's 7 1/2" long and 3" wide.
I guess it would hold about $60 in groceries!😀😀😀

You've had plenty experience building these walls. 🤪😛🤩😜

They look great!
I have lots of trees to look at here.
What are you using for the foliage?
I used Ming fern years ago.

Coloring is great!
Turning the headers 90 degrees would be stronger or even using 2x6's.
Not a criticism just info.
