Thanks to everyone for watching! I've had alot of questions about dimensions and costs, so here is some info. I spent about $60-70 on wood. Prices of wood are high now (Nov. 2020), so you might pay a little more. Also, figure a little for brads, glue, and wood filler, but not much at all. This dollhouse was made out of whitewood/spruce, available at any big box store. Some APPROXIMATE dimensions, but please draw yourself up some rough plans using these, they are not exact: You should be able to get this done with: 1 - 1"x12"x10' whitewood/spruce board 1 - 1":x12"x8' whitewood/spruce board 3 - 4' dowel sticks that are 3/8" thick 1 - 4'x4' square of 1/4" lauan or you could probably use 1/4" plywood Width at widest: 36 3/4" Height at tallest: 36 3/4" Depth: 11 1/4" (actual width of a 1x12 board off the shelf) Vertical board for right wall: ~28" Vertical board for left wall: ~14" Bottom divider walls are ~14" tall and are 3" LESS in width than the floor and side walls Right side of angled roof: ~22" Left side of angled roof: ~13" I believe I the roof is on a 45 degree from surface, so 135 degrees angle to the vertical boards they are attached to I cut pieces 3/4" x 3/4" for the porch posts Three 4' sticks of 3/8" dowel should be enough for the railing, but you might buy extra in case you need to recut any, it's cheap stuff Cut the lauan or plywood to size for the back wall Thanks again to all for watching!
Thanks for sharing ❗ I have been wanting to make a doll house for my grand daughter. Now with your help I will give it a try. I hope it will look like yours, fingers crossed 🤞.
You're an amazing Dad , lucky Girl ❤️ Hopefully you guys keep this as an heirloom to pass down to her little one when she grows up and has kids of her own . I just built a victorian dollhouse for my granddaughter and a barn kit for my grandson as heirlooms last year Christmas 2019 and Christmas 2020 I built my mom a small Doll house because she never had a doll house , she's 70 years old and she loved it ❤️ Handmade gifts are more special and the memories last a lifetime 🥰❤️
@@anomalywoodworks You're very welcome and They sure are , nothing beats a hand made gift , when I saw my Mom's face light up it literally brought tears to my eyes , My Moms been though alot this year , she just had major neck surgery and l was scared to death I was going to loose her , the Dr didn't hold out much hope of her surviving her surgery , she's a walking miracle and still not out of the woods yet as far as healing goes , I finally got to show her the Victorian and the barn I made for my Grandbabies this Thanksgiving at my Daughter's house and the look on her face was priceless , she told me how she always wanted a doll house but little did she know that I had already bought a kit for her and had started building it , I felt like a kid again coming home from school with my prized masterpiece to give my Mom and she really loves it ❤️
Hello! No, I can't say I have. This is actually the only dollhouse I have made. But I like your idea and I may explore that. Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad it helped!
It's funny, literally 5 minutes ago I put the finishing touches on this exact doll-house I just built (minus the windows), sat down to watch some youtube, and this is the first video that popped up. I think yours may have turned out a bit better though. I'm a novice working with basic hand tools.
Awesome! Hope it was a satisfying project for you, and it's a little freaky about the video ha! I feel like stuff like that happens all the time though nowadays!
Thank you for your video and measurements. I was able to build one very similar to yours for my daughter’s second birthday! It looks great. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!
Thanks so much for saying that! I think it could probably be made with minimal tools. Having a shop just makes it a little faster and cleaner. Thanks again and thank you for watching all the way from Peru!
Beautiful dollhouse! You are very talented! I was looking at dollhouses online for my daughter but I thought it would be more fun to build one. I don't think it will come out as nice as yours.. lol... but it's worth a try.
For this same reason I can’t justify spending over $100 for dollhouses that look cheap when I could spend that $100 on materials and create my own; I’m making this my personal challenge to make one for my daughter .
This is great! Great design, great tools, great technique, a pleasure to watch! Thank you! You sound like a cross between napoleon dynamite and bill Paxton, but very nice and calming ;)
you’ve done a wonderful job. if you so choose to continue with this channel, i really think with a little time, you could really make it big. again, absolutely excellent work.
Hello! It should fit up to barbie size dolls. I left the painting to my step daughter but she never completely finished painting it so I do not have a picture of that!
It is a brad nailer, yes. And it does save some time. Ok for smaller projects and certain applications. The holes are easy to fill with some filler as well. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! In my newer videos you may see that I rotated my workbench 90 degrees to get a little more space. I have tried to make it all be logically placed! Thanks again for watching!
Hey I’m wondering if your selling doll houses like this, I would love to play with dolls and don’t spend most of my time on my iPad it would be awesome if you answered!
Hello! I am very sorry but right now I am not making any of these dollhouses to sell. I hope that you or someone you know might be able to use this video to make one for you! Thank you so much for watching the video and I hope you have a good day!
Hey there, I have been searching and searching for a solid DIY barbie house to build for my niece this Christmas with directions and dimensions. I have not found any I love, and let me tell you I am in love with what you made! Is there anyway you could send me a material list and directions including dimensions of cuts. I know that is a big ask however I am willing to pay. If interested I am happy to give you my e-mail. Thanks for considering, beautiful work!
Hi, and thanks so much for watching! I usually only hand draw my plans, so I don't think I have them around anymore, BUT I can give you some dimensions that should help you get there. I'm going to add a pinned comment at the top with them, so check there. I've had this question alot so I'm going to just put it there for convenience. Thanks again!
Having a shop that helps workflow is beneficial, but it really isn't a difficult project! Plan your cuts, measure twice, and think about each step as you go and it won't be bad. Good luck if you try it, I hope the vid helps!
I like your sliding table for the drill press: two safety comments I would make- never ever put your hand behind a block that you're drilling, as you never know if your going to go thru- #2 looks like your hands are very very close to that table saw blade: I just bought a guitar from somebody who lost a finger last year cutting wood with his grandson for a tree house project on a table saw, where the wood binded & pulled his hand just momentarily, in that moment changed his life; thus he felt he had to give up music- Personally I have met musicians with missing fingers that do just fine, but why take the chance
Apologies as I didn't make plans in Sketchup or anything like that. I may be able to locate my hand drawn plans or at least get some measurements for each part. Stay tuned. Thank you so much for watching!

Width at widest: 36 3/4" Height at tallest: 36 3/4" Depth: 11 1/4" (actual width of a 1x12 board off the shelf)
Vertical board for right wall: ~28"
Vertical board for left wall: ~14"
Bottom divider walls are ~14" tall and are 3" LESS in width than the floor and side walls
Right side of angled roof: ~22"
Left side of angled roof: ~13"
I believe I the roof is on a 45 degree from surface, so 135 degrees angle to the vertical boards they are attached to
I cut pieces 3/4" x 3/4" for the porch posts

Cut the lauan or plywood to size for the back wall

Would have loved a work room & tools to build mine. Lucky young lady ! What a labor of love.
Thanks for the kind words! It is definitely a help having a little shop for my projects. Thanks again for watching!
Your music reminds me of the raver girl i dated in the late 90s......... now im building my daughter a dollhouse. Crazy how much things change. Lol
Ha! Hope it comes out well!
Lucky girl! Well done!
Have you made one to where the house is connected to make it look like an actual house? Sort of like a 2 piece? This is definitely educational.
Hello! No, I can't say I have. This is actually the only dollhouse I have made. But I like your idea and I may explore that. Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad it helped!

Great video ; it made me tear up seeing how much love goes into these creations . I will look up blueprints to make one for my daughter
Wow thank you for those kind words!! Good luck with it!
OMG it’s beautiful! I wish I had the same tools as yours to build a doll house for my daughter. Greetings from Peru
Thanks so much for saying that! I think it could probably be made with minimal tools. Having a shop just makes it a little faster and cleaner. Thanks again and thank you for watching all the way from Peru!
That's it. I'm getting into carpet and home improvement just so I can do something cool like this
Ha, awesome, do it!!
This is awesome. Inwish i had saws
Awesome build, looks super heavy-duty too!
Thank you, and for watching!!
Love the dollhouse! I want to build one for my daughter too. And I agree, Barbie and Ken can be creepy :)
Thank you, best of luck building one!

Beautiful house, I sure she loved this gift. Could you please help me with the dimensions of this house.
Thanks!! It is 36 3/4" wide, 36 3/4" (at the tallest point), and 11 1/4" deep (actual width of a nominal 12" board.
This came out amazing and way cheaper than trying to buy something this big❤
Thank you so much!!
you’re an awesome dad!
Thank you, she's a sweetie! :)

Hi. Awesome looking house! What size doll will fit? Do you have a pic of the finished painted product?
Hello! It should fit up to barbie size dolls. I left the painting to my step daughter but she never completely finished painting it so I do not have a picture of that!
Awesome! 🤙
Thank you!!
Awesome!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
very cool!
Thank you!
Your precision to detail is amazing, I enjoyed this video very much. Do you make them and sell them?
Thank you! And no, I don't sell them. I just made this one!
Great job! Is this dollhouse big enough for Barbies?
Yes, it is!
Hi. Thanks for the video. Is that a nail gun you used to fix the wood together? Certainly saves time.
It is a brad nailer, yes. And it does save some time. Ok for smaller projects and certain applications. The holes are easy to fill with some filler as well. Thanks for watching!
very intense music selection for a dollhouse. Great job nonetheless
Ha well this was before I had a better selection of copyright free background music to choose from. Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Great video, gotcha another sub. You have all my tools as well. Lol.
Thank you, I appreciate that!

Thank you very much!! Some big meanie lol
I was hoping for a step by step guide.
Apologies that it was not in that format. There is a pinned comment where I added a lot of dimensions and some additional detail if that helps!
Looking at it, it looks really easy to make. But I am sure it wasn’t so easy. Why is tar always the case? Lol

Thanks for the compliment and the tips. Always appreciated, and I'll keep them in mind!
...and I'm nursing a band saw injury at the moment. Safety priority #1
@@anomalywoodworks i have watch youtube videos how to use table saw safely and i recomend that to you too. nice doll house :)
would it be very heavy?
Hello! I would say it weighs about 18-20 pounds, max.
I thought you were Super Dave Osbourne when you first started talking.
Ha, I forgot about him! Classic!
Do you customize this style of dollhouse for my 19cm tall doll?
I think it would be pretty easy. You'd just have to reduce the height of the "ceiling" by a couple inches, along with the side walls to compensate!
Approximately how much did you spend on wood?
I'm adding a pinned comment at the top with this info and some dimensions, if you want to check that out. But I spent about $60. Thanks for watching!
Great job!
Could you please provide dimensions if possible?
Sure! It is ~37" wide x 11 1/4" deep x 37" tall at the highest point. I made it to accommodate a pretty famous doll that is around 11" tall :)

@@saltlight7562 Thank you for visiting!

Hi. Do you have measurements to share.?
They should be in the pinned comment at the top!

Gosh I'm sorry it's been a few years since then, I don't think I could find it again! Apologies!

Yes. I use Titebond 2. There is a spot where I used some CA glue. It looks like a large super glue container. Thanks!
