miniature mouldings

[VW mick]

Have any of you guys got any experience making miniature mouldings ie 1/12 scale for dolls houses. I have an idea for an upcoming project and would like to make some

I dont quite have a router table yet I have the porter cable mounted to a piece of MDF. But it works. Im just not sure how i would run a small moulding

I have seen dolls house router cutters in the trend catalogue. And I know I would probably need to run the moulding on a wider board then rip it on the table saw then mould again (have I answered my own question ?) 

Just would like to know If anyone has had any success with this

I believe that you did answer your own question about using a wider board and then cutting it loose.  I have had to make small moldings using this approach but not as small as those you are asking about.

Model builders typically don't work with standard woodworking tools, they have their own miniature verions. You can get small tables saws, disc sanders, and routing is often done with a Dremel with a plunge attachment.

My father made a lot of doll's houses. He'd make the mouldings on a Triton router table using a wide board, then cut it off on the table saw.

FWIW, he'd then spray them with aerosol paint and typically glue the mouldings into place already painted.

I never found out how he made his shingle roof designs .. painful level of detail in them [eek]
