A Revision and Some Stools/Benches

 I'll start with the big thing that happened. I got both sides of the roof on!  The glue was still drying when I took the picture but I'm cautiously optimistic that it's going to stay where its supposed to.

I have one super thick Vogue magazine that I use to hold things into place because its just flexible enough for this sort of thing. 

A nice little preview of what the living quarters will look like when everything is finished.

You know me, I can't resist a picture taken through a window. Even without the candles 'lit' I like how it looks.

I also did some work on the chimney for the living quarters. The chimney pots are in place and their decorative aspect added.

I need to add a little edging to the top of the chimney but I want a less regal more rustic look for this build. The former queen doesn't live here after all!

The chimney can't be attached to the house yet. I need to get the roof on the forge first and that's going to take a little bit of work. 

I did revise the handle for my whetstone though. 

It looks a bit more to scale now. At least to me. 

I also made some stools/benches for the living quarters. I read that chairs were actually a rarity during Tudor times, at least for anyone but the wealthy and/or nobility. Most people had stools or benches to sit on.  I guess chairs were complicated to make, kind of like bureaus, so everyone made do with simpler furniture.

To that end I made a start on mine. The glue is drying and once it's done I'll add a few more touches to make them look a little more 'Tudor'. But I think I've made a good start.

You can see that I'm also trying to make a hairbrush. Once the glue is completely dry I'm see if everything holds together when I separate out the bristles. If not, back to the drawing board.

But I got a couple more things crossed off my list. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

Oh, Dante is the most intrepid explorer, Sunday morning he decided to investigate the top of the bookshelf.
