This 1:12 furniture kit is based off a 19th-century American bucket bench. Bucket benches were used to hold buckets full of water from the well so that you wouldn't have to go out and get more water every time you needed more. Now, they're mostly used as display shelves. This kit would make a great bookcase, display case, or even potting bench!

This kit comes with all the components and instructions, but you will need glue to assemble it. 

This finished dimensions are 4"h x 3.5"w x 1"d (10.15cm x 8.9cm x 2.5cm). 

This item is intended for use by adults.

FAQ

What tools do I need to finish the kits?

All of the kits need glue to complete--any kind that adheres to wood will work. (I use Aleene's Tacky Glue.) You may also need a craft knife, sandpaper or an emery board, and clamps or clips.

Is paint provided to make the kit look like the sample?

No, the kits do not include paint or stain. Any type of paint, stain, or marker that adheres to wood will work. For the samples, I used craft acrylic paints, artist acrylic paints, water-based washes, oil-based wood stain, and micron markers.

Will I be able to customize this?

Yes! All of the kits and components are made of basswood ply (except the boot tray, which is chipboard). While it requires some elbow grease, the wood can be be cut with multiple passes of a craft knife.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you're not sure about the ease or possibility of a customization you're considering, and I can work through it with you or potentially do a custom order.
