My daughter is interested in making dollhouse scale stuff. I've
purchased some bags of small craft wood and she's made some tables
and chairs, and a bed. I've also taught her how to use the Dremel
tool for cutting and sanding. Book shelves have proved tricky for
her, but I helped her make a set that aren't totally wonky.

She's 13, and much more skilled at sewing than woodwork. (The bed has
nice sheets and pillows, the table has a good table cloth. There's also
an abundance of Fimo stuff.) I'm able to make basic stuff at regular
size, but I've not had a lot of practice at small stuff or fine detail.

I can find things like this:

And similar crude stuff. Or kits to buy, but I'm looking for something
a bit more sophisticated but not a kit.

Ideas?

doesn't have many clamps suitable for such small scale stuff

I built dollhouse furniture for my daughters many years ago.
I bought a lot of miniature power tools, all from Dremel.
4" Table saw, lathe, scroll saw, drill press, etc.
I gave them all away when the dollhouse got relegated to the attic.
There was no eBay or Craigslist back then.

Harbor Freight has a 4" table saw. $36.99

Walmart, a drill press for Dremel tool. URL much too long, so:

eBay has some Dremel lathes for sale.

and Dremmel scroll saws. Another long URL.

Hope this helps.
