I once put together a rocking chair in 1:48 and this drove me almost crazy, when I fixed one part the former one dropped off (always the best way to put me into a very grumpy mood and to test my repertoire of curses). I can hardly imagine to assemble such a table in 1:144... *gulp* Luckily I can sit comfortably in front of my monitor and watch you making an excellent job at it. I'm really looking forward to your next progress and I hope it will include many, many, MANY variations because there's nothing like a good dose of Betsy touch!<br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-45711576652263143412017-07-07T18:00:06.406-04:002017-07-07T18:00:06.406-04:00They look good Betsy!

I love this room and all the bitsy pieces of furniture. The parlor stove, as you observed, does look amazingly realistic; and yes, I think those wing chairs are softening even as we watch! What a fun project - as with all your creations, I'm looking forward to seeing more.<br />MarjorieMarjorie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104669798186181705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-1134676234191227812017-07-06T18:34:22.558-04:002017-07-06T18:34:22.558-04:00Your efforts are paying off in SPADES, Betsy dear!...Your efforts are paying off in SPADES, Betsy dear!

Yes indeed: how many is "many many many"???.....eeehhh I guess awhole lot of many's ;O! But I bet that you can achieve your goal and will make the chairs like they have a soft cloth on them! And I feel for you, because it's so annoying to be without the supplies you need, especially for this job. As for the matte varnish, it's not easy to find, or for sale here in The Netherlands. <br />Hugs, IlonaIlonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325745983964748534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-33850654870616849032017-07-06T03:08:37.799-04:002017-07-06T03:08:37.799-04:00I congratulate you on getting this far Betsy.
