- Miniaturist Journal 100. In honour of my 100th vlog, I'm taking you on a little workshop tour. I'm also answering a few questions for my Q&A.
Miniaturist Journal is a record of my activities, experiences, thoughts and observations in vlog form, all relating to miniatures.

Happy 100 vlogs. It's called a "crosscut sled." I use one of my table saws for cross cuts and the other for rip cutting because it was just such a hassle to go back and forth between those cuts on one saw. It looks like you might be doing that also. I recently sanded the top of my thumb off on my disc sander, so I can attest to just how much that hurts. And I was lucky as I pulled away very quickly. I think with a heavy grit sandpaper it could sand right down to the bone in a very short time. Micro Mark is not Proxxon although they used to sell some Proxxon items (less and less these days) as they have their own line of tools called Microlux. Quality is sometimes the same as Proxxon, sometimes slightly better, sometimes not as good. For instance, Micro Mark mini chop saw is much cheaper but also much less quality and ease of handling than Proxxon. I wish I had spent the money for the latter. But Micro Mark milling machines very high quality. But also VERY expensive. Best to shop between them carefully and read reviews when ever possible. Neither tablesaw is anywhere near as good as your Burns Model Machine one. Prices reflect this also. Thank you for doing this review of your power tools as most TH-cam miniaturists do not use these so, if one does, we are just out of luck on pointers and tutorials on them. Not that we don't love all the non-power tool vids. They are also wonderful. The more the merrier.
Of course, a crosscut sled! I forgot. Yes, I do that to. It's so much quicker! Thank you Mary Kay! 😃
@@MakeMiniatures Thank you for such a great vlog. I'm still hoping you'll do demos on lots of those tools for people who are unfamiliar. Maybe some advice as to which ones to try first for those who are timid. And what each one can do in more detail. (Can you tell I am trying to con you into that teaching role I suggested some time back. You've already taught so much in other arenas. Maybe now this one.
Haha! I will Mary Kay! I have some ideas for small projects showing how to use some of the machines. And other machines I can show while I'm making furniture for the big project I'm working on this year. It will happen. 😉
Happy birthday 🎂. Thank you.
Thank you Tara! 🥳
We call the pink flowers bleeding heart,happy birthday ,and happy 100 vlog
Yes, and it's the same name in Dutch too! I should have known that. 😉 But, I watch a lot of British gardening programs and they often call it Lady in the Bath, because when you turn them upside down it looks like a figure is sitting in an old bathtub. Thank you Susan 🥳
I love your workshop. Thank you for sharing 😊
You are so welcome Tara! Thank you! 😃
What a day of happiness
Happy Birthday!
Happy 100 vlogs!
Happy Spring!
🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much! 🥳
Have a very happy birthday on Monday and congratulations on 100 vlogs! The tour of your workshop was wonderful. It makes my working with a craft knife quite lame. I admire your talents immensely! You are certainly an inspiration to all miniaturists.
Thank you so much Linda! It's never lame. You're making miniatures and enjoying it, that's wonderful! 🥳
Thank you very much for the tour. It was interesting to see how your work shop has ‘evolved’ to suit your work practices. Have picked up a few ideas I will copy👏. Congratulations on your 100th video and your birthday tomorrow (allowing for time differences in hemispheres 😊). Also thank you to the people who post comments and your thoughtful answers Josje, all of which are much appreciated because they add to the sense of a community as well as providing a forum for discussion and sharing knowledge.
You're welcome! Glad to hear it gave you some ideas!
It is wonderful when people react and we can share thoughts and ideas and learn from each other. Thank you Coby! 🥳
you are a true miniaturist! I enjoyed watching and listening to you talk about the machinery you have and use. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome. Thank you! 😃
Your workshop is Quite Impressive and I've enjoyed seeing your desktop and your workbench with its various power tools, however what has stuck with me the most, is your use of lower kitchen drawer storage which is not only functional but Really Pretty too!
Wishing you a VERY Happy Birthday Josje 🎉AND here's to your next 💯 Vlogs.
May they all be as Beautifully presented and as Greatly Appreciated as your first one hundred have been! ❤
The kitchen cabinets were a good choice back then, very sturdy and they hold so much stuff! Thank you very much Elizabeth! 🥳
You have a wonderful workshop. ❤
Thank you Connie! 🥳
Happy birthday to you ,beautiful flowers 💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much 🥳
Congrats on your 100th blog! Love all your work, tutorials, etc. ❤️. Those GORGEOUS flowers on your desk. Bleeding hearts (“lady in the bath” - never heard that name - love it!) and lilacs … 2 of my most favorite flowers. Thank you for this gift of Spring - it has yet to arrive here on the little mountain in Idaho (USA) where we live. We actually had snowflakes the last few days. Today, thankfully, it’s sunny and lovely.
Happy Birthday! My birthday - next month - always coincides with lilacs blooming here! Morel mushroom season begins at that same time too - can’t wait to forage! (and eat, of course!)
Love seeing your set up/miniature studio - how fabulous! ALL of your MANY drawers are especially wonderful! I’m always fascinated to see others’ creative spaces. Yours is incredible! What a huge amount of space you have! My studio is much smaller and I’m frequently having to go through things so I don’t get overwhelmed with too much “stuff!” It’s so easy (for me, at least) to accumulate things to use in making minis. At some point I had to admit I don’t need another pill bottle lid … for maybe 5 years! Haha! 😊
Thanks for a fabulous video! Enjoy your birthday! 🎂❣️ Kathleen
PS Yes, my desk is always a mess -- immediately! On the wall above it, I hung a sign that a sweet friend gave me that says, “a messy desk is the sign of a creative genius.” 👍
Thank you so much! 🥳 Sounds wonderful to be able to forage for mushrooms. Officially it's not allowed here, although they won't fine you if it's less than 250 grams.
'Lady in the Bath' must be a British name then? I watch a lot of British gardening programs, Gardener's World is one of them. They are called 'Lady in the Bath' because when you turn the flower upside down it looks like a figure in an old-fashioned bathtub. There's another Dicentra, (Dicentra cucullaria, native to North America) that has the common name of Dutchman's breeches, for obvious reasons. Wonderful names.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Even though my studio is a good size, it is still overflowing with stuff. I think collecting materials is almost a requisite of being a miniaturist 😂
And I'm going to adopt that explanation for a messy desk. There must be so many geniuses in this world! 😉
Thanks Kathleen!
@@MakeMiniatures yes, I do so love the names of so many of the flowers. Your “lady of the bath” is called “Bleeding Hearts” here due to its heart like shape and its “red blood.” We also “open up the flower” and see a “Princess” whose heart is bleeding from grief!
When I was a child growing up in the country, we played in fields and forests of wildflowers. I remember Dutchman’s breaches and we also made dolls from hollyhock flower blooms. We would like them up on our kitchen windowsill and name each one - Tilly, Ella, and the like! Such fun!
We have a wildflower here called “fairy slipper” that has a tiny lavender wild flower (that looks just like one would imagine a fairy’s slipper would look) that appears at the same time as our morels. The fairy slippers are the first indicators that morel season is nigh! And, then shortly thereafter, the lilacs bloom in all their lavender glory! No wonder Spring is my favorite season!
Yes, you are so right … collecting, accumulating and holding on to “potential” is all part and parcel for us miniaturists, isn’t it?
Thanks again, so much! I so enjoy every one of your videos - from your warm, welcoming, happy (and delightfully British) voice, to your amazing collection and incredible talents … wow! All the best! Kathleen, Idaho, USA
Ok, I'm drooling, after seeing all those lovely machines. 😀 The duplicator, for the Taig lathe , would be high on my want list. I love how you can move from one tool station to another station so easily when working on a project. How handy to be able to cut your own wood on the bandsaw! You have a great area to create your wonderful minis. Love it! Thank you for the tour. Gelukkige Verjaardag op Maandag.🎉🎊
It's a very practical set-up with all of the tools lined up in an L-shape. I forgot to mention that I always stand while using them. All of the machine work surfaces are at elbow height for me, which makes them comfortable to use. I don't have to bend my back and I can see what I'm doing very well. The only machine I often use sitting down is my lathe.
Thank you en dank je wel voor de felicitatie Urbania! 😃
Happy 100th vlog 🎉Jose.
I love your channel ❤️. I often rewatch your canal series because it is so inspiring.
Happy Birthday 🎂 love from England xx
Lovely to hear that. Thank you so much Gwen! 😃
🎉happy birthday 🎂 for Monday 🎉
Thank you Dorothy! 😃 🥳
Dear Josje, Best wishes for a very happy birthday on the 22! Do hope you will celebrate. The Spring flowers are lovely. I noted today that my lilac is just beginning to open and yes, the fragrance is wonderful. I laughed when I saw the Lady in the Bath. I had not heard them called that as I know them as Bleeding Heart in BC, Canada. I did look them up and saw some great pics of the “lady”.
Thank you for the tour in your workshop. It is remarkable how much you can fit into a space when one does minis! I look forward to the Questions and Answer video. Regards Janine
Thank you very much Janine! I had a lovely day. Quite cold, far too cold to sit in the garden, which is unusual on my birthday, but still sunny.
I watch a lot of British gardening programs (Gardener's World of course) and they often call Dicentra Spectabilis 'Lady in the Bath'. I assume you've seen why it is called Lady in the Bath. In Dutch it is called 'Gebroken hartje' (broken heart) Also 'Tranend hartje' (tearful heart) and 'Bloedend hartje' (bleeding heart). There's another Dicentra, (Dicentra cucullaria) that has the common name of Dutchman's breeches, which I also love! Such wonderful names. 🥳
Thank you Josje! I thoroughly enjoyed that! What a dream your workshop is too! One day I hope to have a workshop of my own.. it would be so lovely to be able to work on something and not have to put it away at the end of each day! You've given me something to aspire to... Congratulations on 100 vlogs! kindest greetings, k
My pleasure! Yes, I can imagine it would get a bit bothersome to have to put away your tools and materials at the end of each day. I hope you'll find space for a workshop soon. Thank you Kat! 😃
Hello Josje, Happy 100th vlog 🎉Thank you for showing us around your work room it's amazing, all those wonderful machines 😍 it must have taken you many years to collect them all.
I wish I had room to keep my tiny machines out all the time, I do miniatures on my dining table (80x80cm, we live in a very small bungalow) but I am saving up for a large garden workshop, hopefully by the summer I can order it 🤞🏼 then I won't be limiting crafting in between by meal time 😊
Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊
Thank you Diane. How wonderful that you're getting your own workshop soon! The only problem then: you'll be forgetting about meal times when you're happily working in your own space. 😉 😃
Happy 100th vlog.....🎉 Happy Birthday to you ❤ love watching your videos i often go back to rewatch it's so calming and I enjoy every moment. WOW , that's some workroom !! Looking forward to the next one. From me in the UK xxx❤
Thank you so much!! It's very nice to hear you are enjoying and rewatching my videos! 😃
Happy Birthday!!! I’m so excited that you posted this tour of your workspace. I actually searched your video playlists on Saturday to see if you’d ever filmed a tour but I couldn’t find one. I’m only 5 minutes into the video and I’m already learning things. Thank you!!!
Happy to hear that! Thank you Maureen! 🥳
This was absolutely amazing! I genuinely had no idea what sort of tools you were using. I did wonder as you were giving the tour which one chopped off part of your finger😂
You are so incredibly talented and charming and funny! Congratulations on 100 vlogs And I hope that you will have many many more to share with us!
I hope that your birthday is as wonderful as you are! Full of love and laughter and cake. Hoping that this year is full of all the joy that your heart can hold❤🎂🎉
Ah, thank you so much! 🥳 Glad you enjoyed it Jen. Yes, that one machine, the surface planer...I put it away and never used it again. 😅
🎉hello lovely lady 🎉🎉congratulations on your 100 vlogs🎉

Happy Birthday Monday. My birthday is today. I’m having a fabulous day. Hope you do too.
Thank you! Happy birthday Connie! 🥳🥳🥳
Happy happy birthday, hope this is a wonderful year ahead🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for your wonderful vlogs, Inalways love to see what you are doing and hear your charming voice🎂💐💚💚💚 The studio is wonderful!
I’m not going to lie, I’m pea-green with envy and coveting the supplies😂🤣shame on me!
Thank you so much!! It's lovely to hear you're enjoying my vlogs 😃
Haha! I understand. I know I'm pretty lucky to have been able to collect all my tools and supplies these past 20 years!
😂I’ve only been making things for a year or so, so your descriptions of how the machines all work and things to look out for are so helpful, would love to see more vlogs about them if you can ever find the time!
Good to hear it is helpful Sue! I plan to make a few miniatures using my workshop machines and the same ones using basic hand tools, just to compare the two. I think it would be fun and interesting.
Very interesting vlog, and congratulations on both your vlog and your birthday. I guess you won't run out of subjects to post, now we will ask for demonstrations of the individual maschines 😂. I would like to see you use the router at at rate, just when it is conveniet 😊
Thanks so much Gry! Good to hear you enjoyed it. Which router did you want to see? The big Metabo one that's mounted upside down? Or the Proxxon mill/router? The last one I will be showing in the coming months. I have some projects in mind, plus I'm working on a big project where I'll be using this machine as well, so I can show some of that too. 😃
I would love to see you use the proxxon router, but just when you get to use it anyway.....I see every vlog, so I'll look forward to the time when you are ready to use it 😊
Okey, yes, I'm going to show that one in a future vlog. Thank you for watching all my vlogs, that's so nice to hear! 😃
PS Smaller than Life is no longer carrying TAIG lathes and Anker Duplicators no longer made. Bummer! Anybody got other suggestions on a good dupicator that would work with a Proxxon lathe?
Oh that is a bummer! PSI (Penn State Industries) makes the same duplicator. That might work with a Proxxon lathe too? Here the link:
www.pennstateind.com/store/universal-duplicator.html
@@MakeMiniatures Thanks so much. I found them also and thought I might call customer service to see if their duplicator would work with a proxxon. I imagine it will.
Good idea! They will be able to give you the right information. 👍
