Swimming pool consruction- the deck is almost done!

After a long rest  in the mini world due to school work, I 'm back!
I've almost finished the deck for my swimming pool, it took a lot of thinking and trying...
I was looking for the right material and the most suitable tools.
I choose bamboo skewers 1 cm wide for the decking .
I got this cutter on Ebay which was a huge disappointment.
It isn't strong enough even  for this bamboo( let alone wood) and not sharp enough.I wouldn't recommend it !!!!!!!







The local stores saved this project .

The tool below cuts through as if through butter.....











This is what the deck looks before trimming and getting the right shading.

    I thought it would be easier if I answered your question here. All my food is 1:12, and recently I started making duplicates for 1:6 and 1:3. Thanks for asking!

    Dies Werkzeug hat mir auch gefallen - vielleicht erwischt mich nochmals das Bastelfieber und ich kaufe es auch.
    Auf den fertigen Swimmingpool bin ich schon gespannt. Du machst bestimmt ein perfektes Urlaubsfeeling daraus.
    Bis später mal, liebe Grüße

    The pool construction looks great.

    Your new tool (tin snips) are used for cutting metal sheet so they're a great item to have in your tool box.

    Are you going to fill the pool? With water or set it with resin?

    Looking forward to seeing the finished project =0)
