Nice detailing! Superb work by the mason.
[edited to correct spelling. Sheesh!]
Lots of good progress, Dave. I never get tired of seeing those stones. Love the choice of colors.
Also, I hate to tell you this, but I have dozens of those windows and doors I’ve never been able to cut out the windows cleanly…so I see another tutorial in your future.
Dave nice work with the stones. I love that you are shaping them and adding architectural detail. Looks real sharp
That is one stout looking building with all that stone. Very sharp.
Well spent a bunch of time today producing a disaster, AAARRRGGGGG!!!
2 bonus points to the first to discover what went wrong…
Well, somedays are just better then others…
Dave
What is that about halfway up the door glass on the inside? Looks like its in the window too, but the glare makes it hard to see. Is there still a protective cover on the window glass or do they just need to be cleaned? The stone work looks good other than the large continuous stone on the left of the window. It looks out of place. I would think it would be under the window.
Barn doors are upside down?

Well All I got made today was a door.
I started by decking over sintra with scribed wood.
Then built up the sides, and added all the pieces to make up the double doors.
Needed to add the hardware, hinges and clasp.
And a door is born.
And where it’s to be on the Blacksmith shop.
OK before I get fried for using superglue for an outdoor building.
This is actually a master, I’m going to make a mold from this, and resin cast the final doors.
The scale size In 1:20, the doors are 9 ft wide x 9 ft tall, plus the added trim.
Stay tuned
I think I win!!!

Sliding doors are upside down?
Good catch, Pete (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
After you see it it sticks out to me anyway! Been There and done that many times, like the tunnel
portal having braces wrong a couple of years ago
Two bonus points to Pete… ARRRGGGeee…
I know that my gluing of the barn doors will hold up outside… I nearly broke the door prying it off. It Were Stuck Good… even pulled off some of the ply wood…
Cleaned it all up and got it stuck down, Glue drying, as I type…
Film at 11…
Dave
Surprised prying it apart didn’t break it, that’s my normal way to fix a boner like that, break the whole thing trying to remove just glued part while week old glued parts fall off or break!
11 o’clock in the Eastern Zone, 8 in the Pacific, and I guess midday in sunny Hawaii.
Got it stuck back together… Embarrassing moment # 4,682…
And there is the front for now… The false front signage will go above the top layer of stones.
And another…
Back at it to finish the other two sides…
Stay Tuned
Dave
Worked later last night and this morning to make up for yesterdays door delay.
And I got the Back side finished up, and I double checked that I glued on the barn door right side up.
A bit to do on the right side today and the stoning will be done…
Stay tuned…
Dave
The variation in stone color is great!
Got all the stone work done…
Onto the roof next… Why of course it will be covered with "Guaranteed To Never Rust…Taylor Tin"
Stay tuned
Dave
that is just coming out neat
You have a fine stone mason there, Dave. I’m not sure about the carpenter who put the door on upside down, not sure I would use him in the future, I certainly wouldn’t pay him for the time to correct it (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
That’s coming along great! Love the stone facing.
Thanks for the accolades guys…
The stone veneer is like starting a giant 3D puzzle with out any pictures to go by, only having a large box of assorted pieces. There is an awful lot of custom cut up little pieces to make it all fit together.
If there is another time to build a stone building, I will lay it all out in the stone work pieces first, and then make the building sized to fit whole pieces, and windows in the right place to fit exact size stones. saving hours and hours of tedious cutting and fitting, and then trying again…
Dave.
