Childs stable block

[EddieJ]

My daughter is obsessed by horses, and she kept pestering me to make somewhere for her to keep her toy horses.
So on a day when work was slack, I knocked this little stable block up for her. It made a change from doing oak frames! :lol:

Now theres one very happy little girl. Nice work.

Terrific.

Great stuff. She looks really pleased with it.

When I was a kid I used to make garages for my toy cars and trucks and then park them all properly before I got sent to bed at night.

I used to play with wood and saws etc... but I grew out of it, no, wait a minute....

Nice job...who mucks out though? - Rob

 

[Ironballs]

Top job, is it made from ply? And please don't tell me you knocked it up in an afternoon

 

[EddieJ]

Thanks for all the positive replies.

I cheated and made them out of MDF! The one that doesn't have doors, was my first try and cock up. I put the router straight across the doorways!
I made them into a modular size, which made them very quick to make, and I have also kept the roof patterns as this was the only section that could cause delay in construction.
The corner unit has now evolved and contains a sliding section, for the foaling area! :roll: :lol:
The doors, whilst opening top and bottom, aren't really strong enough for continued use and abuse, so I may have to address that at some time.
I've also been pestered into making stables for my daughters friends as well, so the collection is building!

Having seen the prices of dolls houses you could be onto a career change there

Nice present - much nice than some cheap plastic thing they get bored with so easily.

Eddie, it looks like you are on the road to wrack and ruin. I started out like that and now look at the problems I have created for myself Don't think I'll be able to sort out our stable so quickly.

Very nice piece of work and I'm not surprised you now have a queue of girls waiting for your next batch. I particularly like the loose box.
