How It's Made: Dollhouse Episode
Last year on the show How It's Made, they showed how dollhouse kits are assembled at Real Good Toys. I had been hearing about it since then, but stumbled upon the video on YouTube this morning. Enjoy!
Oh yes I forgot, the one bad thing is they show them using hot glue which should never be used on a doll's house because after a few years it falls off with temperature changes.
I was noticing too that they used hot glue for the shingles....and said they'd been stained FIRST. I always stain my shingles AFTER I've put them on (using Weldbond glue.) It was cool to see how they cut the shingles from the solid piece of wood!
I saw this on TV when it originally aired but by the time I had phoned friends and family no one got to see it! Thanks so much for posting it. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw it it was the American version, too, neat to hear it with English voiceover.
