Anyone know how to make like a brick wall out of wood?

Method 1
Cut lengths of timber to the size of each wall, cut to height of brick and width required then using a chisel or Stanely knife score the length of the bricks on the face of the timber strip, ariss the 2 edges to define the bed joint of the brick course.
Now glue each course (length of timber) off setting each layer by 1/2 a brick to create your wall.

Method 2
Cut your timber to the size of wall required, using a marking / cutting gauge (or set a shallow height on your table saw and progressively moving the fence cut bed joint lines), deep score the bed joint lines, then using a square and Stanely knife, score the vertical joints (perpends) in line on alternate courses

I like the idea of the table saw. Problem is, the kerf would be too wide

What about the Dremel circular saw and a guide?
Just an idea.

Hi Fozzy When I make a brick wall or chimney for the Doll Houses I use a Dremel with a cut off blade for the

brick courses and make a metal jig for the perp joints and use it as you would a punch, this is the only

pic I could find to show the brick work and it was then made to look old and was in 1/12 scale hope this helps,

Eddie
