 II'll build the floors one by one. I'll use square balsa wood for the beams of the half-timbered house. It's nice and light and easy to cut and glue with wood glue. |
 I use push pins to keep the beams in place while they dry. |
 For all doors, windows, and gates, I use the laser again. I laser-cut basic shapes from 3mm MDF, which I later cover with balsa wood or XPS foam. |
 I'd like to have revolving doors, which involves some intricate work with small shapes and cocktail sticks. |
 Here you can see how the parts form a hinge with the help of a cocktail stick. |
 I glue the bottom and top blocks back into the door frame, and thus I have a basis for a door. |
 I finish the door with balsa wood. You can see two examples here. Then, I glue the door frames and windows into the spaces that have been precisely laser-cut in the base form. |
