Hobbies builder creates scale replicas for charity and schooling
Grand Rapids craftsman Carl Behnke makes miniature replicas of historic houses such as Lincoln's Springfield home and Mount Vernon. His dolls include working lamps and a functional kitchen sink, and he built a playhouse for Coldwater State Home with electric heat air conditioning and door chimes. He designs safety features for children and works with his wife on sewing and doll making as part of aiding deprived youths.
