ItzKathyP Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Have you seen the Greenleaf laser cut Taft? I LOVE IT!! While the Brimbles is adorable, I think I like the Taft even better!!!! Those little benches out front, the exterior staircase..... Wherever am I going to put all these houses I want?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I was just on the phone with them and I told them no one noticed it up yet That is too funny that you mentioned this just after I hung up the phone It is bigger than the Brimbles kit!!

tappy Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I just saw the Taft--very cute--lots of detail! I still have my old Brimbles in the box, so I won't be getting another store anytime soon--least not til I finish the one I've got! It seems like the Taft jumped ahead of some of the other laser cut releases--any update on the Chantilly? I still have my heart set on that one.

Monica_the_haunted Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Wow! I gotta tell ya, I'm so in love with the whole laser cut thing and no sanding that I really want one of each! How can I go back to die cut houses after a laser cut?! Oh my! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 How can I go back to die cut houses after a laser cut?!It's a dh kit, therefore I must build it!lol The Taft is BIG but Brimble's is the one that speaks to me, which is how it goes, for me. I couldn't believe what the Fairfield had me do to it today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Ooh, I noticed that in the store last night right before bed, and it is SO cute! I had seen it before and it didn't grab me, it must be something with the laser cut. But, I also have a Brimbles, which hasn't spoken much yet, so I don't know what I'd do with 2 stores. I didn't realize it was bigger than Brimbles, oh my! I'm lovin' all the new kits! Thanks Dean and Company! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genieDOLL Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 HUH? This is probably the stupidest question on the Forum; but tell me about Laser Cut kits? Does it mean a process whereby the pieces are cut sharper than older sets? Are all/most new kits using laser technology? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it mean a process whereby the pieces are cut sharper than older sets? Are all/most new kits using laser technology?Basically with diecut kits the pieces are stamped into the plywood with a sharp (usually) metal die and the different dice (plural of die) have to be "in register" to avoid miscuts (I once had a Buttercup kit that the sides were offset slightly so that the right side was about 1/8"+ higher on the sheet than the left; made for some interesting adjustments on my part!lol). The laser burns the narrowest beam through the wood and for mass-production can be programmed through a computer for precise, consistant results. The initial co$t of the laser technology & equipment is hefty, but then the process is so fast it pays for itself quickly. I have no real preference, building a laser-cut kit is a lovely experience, but I enjoy all building experiences! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Less splintering, less sanding is my attraction to laser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
