I drool over Knowle sofas, and to see that miniature one it was gorgeous, the flowers look lovely in the milk jug. I know I have only just discovered your videos and am so enjoying them.
Josje, I enjoyed this video very much. So nice to hear you speak in such an informative and relaxed manner. Interesting to follow the auction with you … and even hear the little owl. Take care and thank you. J.
I cannot get enough of your videos. My husband watches too. I loved seeing your searches on EBay. When I try, I just find the worst it has to offer. We have both tried using the catagories along the top of your video with no luck. I even typed in the seller and only saw Thomas the tank engine! Help!
Oh thank you! So nice to hear you like the videos. I must say I find it hard to search on eBay as well (and Etsy too!) This auction is over now so the listings have been removed (that's why you only found Thomas the tank engine probably), but for future reference just google ' dthomasminis eBay ' and his eBay page should be the first one you'll find. If I try to search for his seller ID on the eBay page I can't find it, but on Google I can. On his eBay page you can save and follow him for updates on future auctions (you must be logged in to eBay first). I hope that helped!
.Enjoyed this so much. Do you have to polish your silver pieces regularly to keep them shiny? Also how thick is the glass for the window you are making and how did you cut the groove in the wood for the glass to sit in please?
Thank you Angie! After a piece has been polished on the wheel, it is just a matter of keeping it clean with regular silver polish about once or twice a year. The quality of the silver and the way it is kept on display influences the rate at which a piece tarnishes. The glass I'm using for the window is 2.2mm thick, it is the thinnest glass I can get around here. I cut the groove with my table saw which I find easier and quicker to do than with my router. I'll show you how I do this in my video next time.
@@MakeMiniatures thank you for your explanations! I love that you are using real glass. In Australia we are lucky and can find very thin glass in cheap photo frames from Asia, about 1.2mm.
@@angieangie21 That's a great source for thin glass, that's lucky indeed. I sometimes get old frames which have fairly thin glass, not 1,2 mm though. The modern ones I can get here now unfortunately mostly have some kind of plexiglass or similar in them.
The tarnished footed tea set found its way to an appreciative new owner and how Great is that! 😃
Right?! It's so satisfying to see it transform like that with a good polish.

Yes, a thickness sander. So useful! 😃 This one is by Jim Byrnes Model Machines. His machines are fantastic.
