Lovely design! Let us know if any birds decides live in a multiple family duplex! The entrance seems a litlle big for little birds who wishes to feel protected against intruders!

Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "birdhouse patterns to make" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Daniliana Birdfly Babar - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my brother in law got cool results with it.
Love it. But the holes look too big for native birds. Look at Cornell University's ornithology website for the proper hole diameter.
Wonderful talent, you really fast on that saw, might want to switch to decaf. : ) be safe
Wow!! You have some talent 👍🏽

Superb workmanship and attention to detail on the birdhouse, so kudos for that. Unfortunately, you can tell you don't know anything about birds that will nest in a man-made birdhouse. You don't build a bird house first and then hope some bird will build a nest in it. You have to build a bird house for a 'specific' kind of bird and build it with THAT bird in mind. For instance, small birds like chickadees, wrens and bluebirds love to build nests in a small house with a small opening (1- 1 1/4" at the very most) with no perch and no ledge of any kind, Ledges and perches are deadly for just hatched fledglings, thanks to predators like squirrels, neighborhood cats, black birds, blue jays etc. Also, the only birds I have ever seen that will nest that close to another bird's nesting area are starlings. What you will typically have with the sort of birdhouse you've built is one family will move into one of the houses, and larger birds will fight or kill them off to take over the territory.

I more just built it for the competition. Not much research went into the actual birds unfortunately. So maybe I should have titled the video "awesome little house with holes in it" 🤣
hope you did good that year its a nice birdhouse ....just thought it needed more time on detail for it if its for a contest because in contest they surely take a long time and pay attention to detail but for a bird house its really nice quick one to make and own.
awesome work man .. your dill as a wood lathe on to it . be good to see more of your work
Excellent. Very talented.
Looks great
Your jig saw cuts like a band saw. Great use of all your other tools as well. Very nice birdhouse, I would love to see what you could do with more warning. :-)

Once the finish cures there's no smell. The birds love this birdhouse 😍
Nice job, young dude. From my experience building birdhouses with multiple entrance holes, it seems like only one bird will nest in the house. Birds do not seem to accept the close proximity of the holes if there is already a nest being used.????
Nice .... but you work a little to slow for me .... LOL !! Great job ! Love it !!
Beautiful, gotta add a perch, or two, or three.
@CNTHINGS

Thank you I'm glad you like it! A lot of bird house builders don't add perches because the can be dangerous. Birds tend to not use them and can injur themselves flying into them also they are easier access for predators from what I've read so I didn't add one.
Did you win?? Thats a pretty sturdy looking bird house...

I don't know james duncan personally but wanting to do something and making the effort are always better than talking about it. Who knows he might practice for a few months and come up with something way better than what I've done. And even if it took 5 years that's still awesome and he will have gained a lot of skill along the way. :)

You did a very cute birdhouse in the short amount of time you had. Bravo! 👍🏻 A few details like a perch would be handy for the birds and the roof shingles could be staggered like on a regular roof.

The shape is very unique and the turned walnut trim is perfect. Is there a place where you can access the inside to clean it out? This is the second video of yours I've now seen, the first was "Dat Dumpster". I'd love to see more build projects like this one, very creative. You've got a new subscriber. :-)

wow! at the part when you are sanding the bird mansion by hand, you are sanding so quickly, and so fast, and with such agility! I could hardly see your hand moving and yet, you were as steady as a steadyman! Listen here, I own electric sanders whom do not even sand as fast as you were! how long until I can hand - sand that fastly? very great work by the way!.........sorry, i cant help from being a sarcastic idiot sometimes :) keep up the good work. your video was very helpful

This is a very amateur question, but is that a nail gun that you are using to connect the shaped pieces together? And if so what type/thickness nail do you use. I have been wanting to slow get into woodworking as a hobby, and am trying to pick up ideas here and there.

Yes it is. For your first gun I'd go with a nailer/stapler. This one shoots 18 guage 1in-2in nails and staples.

Looks awesome but probably not super-practical given the bird species you listed. There should also be a way to clean out the old nests each year to avoid spreading disease to your birds.
