How-to Tutorial
Step 1 Window cut
Please use the files to produce your own windows and doors, sizing them as you need them. I have yet to try engraving the window.
I have made a large number of Fairy Houses from reclaimed timber, all of which are unique but by far the most fulfilling are the tree root and branch versions which can never be copied. Many are now illuminated using rice wire led lamps connected to a CR2302 switched battery holder. If anyone knows where to get such battery holders with fitted timers, please let me know.
All of my work goes to raise funds in my local community - this example is for the Town Mayor's charity fund raising evening in November.
