Flourish & Blotts update..........

The balustrade made by Peter - I did not want turned spindles for this building.

Maybe more tweaking to be done - but not until the whole thing is together!

Ground floor window and door frame installed.

Update on Flourish & Blotts.......

The following are some pics of progress on this project to date.  I have been working steadily during the week - but lots more to be done.

All the timber framing on ready for claying

One side clayed

Other side clayed

Brickwork completed on chimney stack

Painting of the chimney stack commenced

Showing the complete chimney painted

And that has been my progress to date.   Still a lot of work to do but a great step forward.

A little progress made............

The light was not so good for taking photos - but more paintwork done on these pieces

Light Peter has made for this building.  He will be making all the lights for this - thankfully, then I can have what I want!

The front now ready for claying.  Timber framing completed so ready to move on.
The door still needs painting.

Progress with Flourish & Blott..........

So work is progressing slowly - there's always more wood to distress and paint, or bits to adjust before the final coming together.  But I'm now at the point where I'm ready to do the fun stuff - like claying and colouring, and, and, and..........

"Hardware" ready for painting

Ground floor fireplace - some painting commenced

Parts assembled ready for the fun stuff

The original doesn't have a chimney so I made one fit.

Do you like the clamps - very technical!!

Flourish & Blotts - the beginning...............

All the parts ready to go!!

Some of the timber, distressed and painted

Getting ready to clay!

Inside walls clayed and ready to paint.  Waiting for the clay to dry a little more!!

Just finished this today - certainly a fun one to do!
