Roombox details! 

Hello John! So nice of you to comment here. My compliments on your beautiful work, the room box is perfect! You made it for my friend Elly de Kraker back in 2015, and she gave it to me before she passed away. She did not get a chance to explain all the intricacies of the room box to me. Because it is so well thought out and well made, it was odd to me that the back was glued on, haha. Of course it wasn't. As for the led lights, I did notice the blue thingies with the arrows on and wondered what they were for, not realizing that they were dimmers. Again, very well done. I understand you no longer make roomboxes? Thank you! -Josje

@@MakeMiniatures Great he already told you!!

@@MakeMiniatures Hello jose I do remember Ella and am really happy she gifted rather cabinet to you . Would it be at the 1z12 show where I met her? I have a 12th scale theater I’m regrettably selling as I have no room anymore Do you know anyone who may be interested John

Hello John, You met her in Arnhem where she ordered the roombox, (Elly and I are both from the Netherlands) but she picked it up at the 1z12 show. I wouldn't know who'd like to buy the theater, but if you can tell me some more about it and maybe send me some pictures I can mention it in my vlog. I found a yahoo email address for you, is that still the one you are using? Josje

Thank you Dana!

Hahaha! It is a beauty, isn't it?! I don't know who's making boxes of this quality at the moment. I think we must just be satisfied to use it as inspiration at the moment. Old cigar boxes also have their charm though! Thank you for joining us here Mindy! 😃

I totally agree! Thanks em. 😃

He is! Thanks Maryjane.

Yes indeed Janine! My jigsaw was waiting in the wings. 😉Thank you!

😂 Yes, that would have been so helpful! It really is a beautifully made roombox. I think John Kilner may be (or was) a cabinet maker, the roombox is so precisely made! And he had a good knowledge of a miniaturist's electric lighting needs.

I agree with you, Linda! Glad you enjoyed it. 😃

True! 😂 Thanks Vicki!

Thanks, Christina! The electrics in this roombox are so cleverly done! 😃

😉 Yes, the magnets are great! I've also used them in a roombox a long time ago. But not like this, this is a great use for them. Thanks! 😃

Dank je wel Sandy! Het is een geweldige roombox, daarom begreep ik ook niet waarom de achterkant vastgelijmd zat. Ik had al eerder geprobeerd om het eraf te halen 😆

Thank you Галина! Yes it's a beautifully made roombox and I'm also very glad I found out in time and not damaged it. 😃

Thank you! 😊

Thank you Wanda! 😉😅

😂 Thanks Julie!

😂😂😂

😂 Well it was just so silly! I had tried several times before to get that panel off, and I had done that whole interior build through the front, having to remove the window time after time and carefully slide up that panel to install the wiring. It was quite annoying 😉 Most roomboxes are not this intricate and well built. This is the only one I have seen like this.

Welcome back! You have been missed, but you totally deserved a long break after producing so many lovely videos all in a row! This box is truly a masterpiece. Am I correct in thinking that your friend Elly designed it? If not, the 😮builder must know a miniaturist bc this covers literally the whole wish list. It has the most amazing features I’ve ever seen. Very innovative. Too bad the company is out of business. Out of curiosity, what are the exterior dimensions? Thank you sharing the details with us. 😊

Thank you, Dana! 😊 I don't think Elly designed it. Karon Cunningham mentioned on her blog she was impressed by his oak roomboxes when she was next to them at the fair in Arnhem in 2011. Elly ordered her's in 2015. I don't know for sure that they are out of business, but I assume they are as I can find nothing about them on the internet. The outer dimensions are 55,5 cm (W) x 32,5 cm (D) x 38 cm (H). This is including the decorative top and bottom moulding and the ball feet.

@@MakeMiniatures I found an email address for him and he is listed as an exhibitor at a show in the UK. It looks like the show is cancelled for this year, but I took a chance and emailed him. I'll let you know if I hear anything back from him. Thank you for the dimensions.

You're welcome! Oh, that be great if you'll hear back from him. Please let me know if you do and if they have some email address or website where people can contact him.

I know, it was a beautiful gift and it is cherished. Yes, John is a master! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much Urbania! Yes, I agree, the roombox is perfect!

Hi, the beautiful roombox was constructed by John Kilner of No. 1 Elite designs. I've mentioned it in the description. I believe John is retired now. He left a few comments below the video.
