Scale model of bell tower in Spain
« on: July 28, 2013, 09:51:04 pm »
The actual bell tower is located in Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Spain. I obtained the plans from Finescrollsaw.com. The model is constructed of dimensional Basswood and Mahogany plywood. The columns
and spindles (120 of them) were turned on a lathe instead of scrollsawing. Height is 60 inches.

Cheers, Gadois

I freely admit that I do not have either the patience or the organizational habits that it would take to build such a piece.

You Sir, are a Master Craftsman!
