foamex... to cnc or not??

[wilfy]

Yes, the dolls house carcase is cut from 6mm mdf. The roof tiles are a cast resin panel made in a silicon mould from a master cut from thin ply. The doors were cut and engraved (1.6mm ply) and the bow window foamex.


The other windows were proprietary plastic ones. I no longer use these windows as I cut all my flat windows in 1.6mm ply. My wife does the decoration. Glad you like it.


No secrets with regards to my location which is Morton, a village near Bourne, Lincolnshire.

you know hes gonna stalk you now dont you

that house is awesome, i first read it that the whole thing was made out of foamex.. but only as thats what i wanted to hear/see. when you say the bay window is foamex are you talking the whole panel with the wall?? or just literally that thin frame of a window?

Only the bay window was cut from foamex to enable me to "flex" it into the required shape. The mdf was cut using a 3.175 cutter and the foamex/ply with 1mm.

Yep, already located Bourne on google maps... Didn't realise Lincolnshire went that far south... Geoff's almost a "Southerner" ;-)

Lol, I've noticed the large percentage of Northerners up here Geoff! Lol

They've become quite civilised though.... only since they were introduced to electricity I'm led to believe.

At least that's the way it seems to an alien like me ;-)

Electricity ???? What's that then & what's it used for ???? In the real North It's something that I don't think we have come across yet lol

[GEOFFREY]

Andy, my main difficulty was the language barrier (it gets even worse further up).

I understand that the main reason that for introducing the electrickery was to speed up operation of the steam powered cnc machines.

By the way if you ever find that you are venturing (I guess you are a caravan man), you are welcome to drop in and see how it used to be done!!!

Nah if we have truly started turning this Springbok northern then he'd rather drag is Van north up a hill with is teeth before turn and free wheel south.!!
