With apologies to Norm Abram. I had a lot of fun with this little box, even after I mailed it to Minnesota.
90 pieces.Stick built. Recycled pine.
First thing was to mill some lumber. 2 x 4's are 1/4" x 1/2", boards are 1/8" thick. Then I built a jig to assemble the walls and panels. Paste wax kept me from gluing the work to the jig.
Build the frame, stand it up and go from there. Most everything is held together with 23 gauge x 1/2" pin nails and glue.
Install flooring and the seat and seat frame. A box within a box once the siding is on. The hinge for the seat is a nail, through the stud blocking into the seat, secured with CA glue.
The siding went up 1 piece at a time.
5" x 6" Aspen base made to look like stone foundation. 9" tall. 1/8" BB ply roof. Acrylic paints and Mohawk Dead Flat lacquer spray. Picture frame turn button used to hold door closed.
I have to say, Hairy, that is the funnest, most original box I have ever seen. And that you framed it out just like a carpenter frames out an outhouse is quite amusing. I admire your Joi De Vive.
That is so funny and a fun build. At first I thought your out house was full size and in those cool photos. Then I got it. Lol. I don’t know about taking a d##p in outer space. A real floater.
Great work, Hairy! Excellent scale-build work, and as someone who’s been working with micro-lumber lately, it ain’t always as easy as a guy might think.
