Tmber Frame Nativity Stable

[Lee Schierer]

Has anyone made a timber frame style stable for a nativity set? I'm looking for a design to replace the cheap one that came with our ceramic nativity set. I would appreciate plans or a link to plans or even good photos of any designs you might have. The figures we have are about 6-7" tall.

The simplest ones I've seen are a shed type of structure with the high side the view side. So just 2 tall posts and 2 shorter posts with a beveled plate across each pair. Since it's not structural, go from beam to beam with "planks". Throw in a couple knee braces front and back and you're set.

Maybe that's what you're looking for...

I know what a timber frame looks like, I just thought someone might have made one that I could copy or at least modify without reinventing the wheel myself.
