Here's a quick YouTube video to inspire our dollhouse and roombox creators.

One of the most famous dollhouses is Queen Mary's Dolls' House which was designed in 1924 by Sir Edwin Lutyens for Queen Mary; it is displayed at Windsor Castle.

I's a 1:12 scale Victorian post and beam wood shop, steam engine driven. Watch all the way to the end to see the flickering wood stove, wash room and tools on the wall.

Oh my gosh!! I had never thought of combining working machinery within a dollhouse or roombox. This opens up a new world of possibilities! This project must have taken years or decades to build.

Watching it brought back some memories. I grew up across the street from a blacksmith's shop. Every morning at 6am he'd start work and the trip hammers would ring on the steel anvils. There were big leather belts connecting and driving all of the various tools he used to work the iron and steel. The leather belts in the wood workers shop reminded me of the blacksmith.

Thanks for sharing this!
