Julie, thank you so much for putting both Metric and American. Since getting back into miniatures I found it a bit challenging when trying to convert metric instructions. Actually, now I find metric easier. Not sure why they don't teach metric in America, its crazy silly. I could have benefitted so much better in life learning 2 years of metric instead of useless algebra, which *still to this day* 40 years later I've not used once. Hahaha.
Lovely.. Your work is so neat and tidy ,that's why it looks so good .. I love your work.. I saw the show were someone bought chest of drawers online thinking its a full sized piece of furniture.. Lol.. 😍
Really fun, as always. I'm not sure I know what the little string loops are. Perhaps that is something on ladders in the UK rather than the US. Or am I just being stupid somehow. Anyway, really cool product from that process.
The back piece would have a metal hinge at the top of each leg to allow it to swing out from the bottom. The string prevents the back legs from swinging out too far and the ladder will be in the safest position for climbing up when the string is taught. Modern ladders may have metal locking hinges to replace the string method.
No problem Julie, I enjoyed watching the video. Just to add that the 'string' on the life-size version would actually be rope for the purpose of safety. @@JulieWarren

I hear a lot of people say the same thing. I like to make things easy for everybody, so I'm happy to include both. :)
It seems odd to call a ladder "beautiful," but that one really is. The detail of those string/rope hinges is marvelous.
Thank you Sue.

Thank you so much. It was such a surprise seeing my piece of furniture on the show!
That is the best ‘used’ ladder I have seen! Brilliant x
Thank you Julie.
Fabulous! Thanks for sharing! I’d love to see an overstuffed leather armchair tutorial.
Thank you Connie, I'll add your suggestion to my list.
I am going to do this for my next project. Looks like a lot of fun!!
Do let me know how you get on. :)
Love it! Now I see I that need to supplement the housemaid's step ladder with a "sloppy, worn" ladder in the shed..............
I hope you'll enjoy making it George.
Amazing!
I have found that if you wrap the sandpaper around a popsicle stick it makes easy Nicks to help with the ageing
Thanks for the tip Edwina.
Excellent job...tfs
Thank you Gloria.
Accidental ASMR. Any ASMR fans out there will get it. 🥰
Thank you, a lot of people tell me that! :)
Fabulous - thanks so much for sharing - how much harder would it be to make a working one?
Not too difficult, it would just require some pin-hinges and extra wood at the top. :)

Thanks David, I don't think I could have explained it as well as you did! :)
