Welcome back to the workbench where we try to make things — and today we’re continuing work on the Bamboo Creek Water Garden miniature dollhouse.

In this episode, we focus heavily on structural assembly, working our way through wall sections, interior bracing, and all the fun that comes with gluing paper-covered parts that only want to stick when they feel like it. This one is very much about slowing down, squaring things up, and reinforcing weak areas before moving forward.

A good chunk of the episode turns into hands-on problem solving as parts pop loose, walls fight alignment, and CA glue reminds us that paper is only as strong as the paper itself. Once the structure is stable enough, I move on to building and installing the interior ladder — the first real interior detail to permanently go into the build.

By the end of the episode, the main structure is standing, reinforced, and finally starting to feel like an actual building instead of a loose collection of parts.

🧠 Workbench Wisdom

When you’re gluing to paper, patience matters more than speed — and sometimes stopping to reinforce now saves you from rebuilding later.

🔧 Looking Ahead (Next Episode)

Now that the structure is solid, next time we’ll start:

Installing interior components
Adding more pre-built interior details
Turning the shell into an actual living space
Bringing the build to life visually

If you’re building one of these yourself, or just following along, let me know how it’s going for you down in the comments — I really enjoy hearing about your progress.

Thanks for hanging out with me at the bench.
