    Book Nook station

    Hi all

    I haven't built anything for ages so I thought I would get back with something easy. I found this wooden book nook thingy. So far I am very impressed. Everything you need is in the box even a little screw driver and the glue. It comes with a full LED lighting kit and beautifully rendered MDF pieces.

    So far I have built the little train, I think it looks great considering it is only 4 inches long.

        Looks good. I built one earlier in the year and thought it was great fun. The quality is exemplary as you say. Reminded me of a 3D jigsaw puzzle with glue…..

          That does look interesting. I watch a YouTube channel called NerdForge who make this kind of thing.

            That looks excellent. These laser cut wood models are certainly impressive.

              Thanks for the interest guys.

              Part 2 of this fun build the start of the station platform. I have to repeat that this is a great little kit., the pieces fit like a dream and the overall effect gets better and better.

                  3rd and final part. About 6 hours to build and, despite a few fiddly bits, a real pleasure.

                  The lights work with a touch sensor under the little symbol at the front of the platform.

                  And by the use of mirrors etc the whole scene has an infinite depth.

                  Definitely looking to build another of these things.

                    I really like that John. The detail is amazing. I think I need a book case. Just as I typed this, the wife leans in and thinks it's amazing as well.

                        Thanks Colin and Paul, I bet your wife would enjoy building it. It costs about $70 over here maybe 50 pounds. About the same cost as a round of golf, lasts a little longer and is much more satisfying, at least for me.

                          That looks lovely. Has a "Harry Potter" feel about it.
