I need to know specifics about what type of wood to use, since I haven't done a project like this before. Would a nail gun work for this? I've used one before so I know how to work with it. Where can I find a good book on building doll houses? I've built a few elaborate things before without a guide, but they were on a much larger scale. :) (Iguana habitat)
Thanks so much!|||For the material, I'd suggest some 1/4" panel board that can be painted and is not too expensive. A brad nailer would work better than a nail gun just from the size of the nails. You will also need a square, tape measure, saw, work bench, clamps, glue, scroll saw, and sander. Add paint brushes, primer, and different colors of paint.
As to some plans and instruction, go to the public library and ask for some craft books and DIY books. They may need to be ordered from a main warehouse so call first.|||You will need a hammer or a nail gun but that all depends on how much you want to put into it. I'd say get a band saw to cut the intricate pieces and a table saw to cut the boards. A sander will help with wood finishing..Those are your basics and if you plan on putting hinges on the doors I'd say get a nice screw driver set. http://www.tools-plus.com/ sells a lot of the tools you will need. I recommend them because they are fast at shipping and have great customer service no matter what questions are asked.|||According from what I have read you need very few tools to built them here is a link that has free downloads
