The hatchet looks best way and the fastest , thanks for sharing

I have so much timber and scrap wood laying around, this was just what I was looking for! I’m glad I’m not crazy for considering repurposing them for birdhouses haha

Congratulations! This is the 4th DIY bird house video I've watched and the only one to show the finished bird house at the beginning of the video. You are the only one that knows bird houses AND videos. The other videos forced me to fast forward till I could see what the finished project look like. You did it right.

DO NOT put a peg in front! Your target nester species don’t need it, but it absolutely provides predator birds a place to stand while they reach in and pull chicks out !

Great idea! I just cut down a sizable limb from my mother-in-law's cherry tree. I think I'll try this. Thanks for the video tutorial!

These are great instructions. Though I've heard it's best not to have a peg in front because "enemy" birds will use it to more easily come in and loot the nest or attack it in some way

Kind of, the perch is more attractive for invasive House Sparrows, which will kill native bluebirds and swallows. All the native birds are well adapted to accessing holes without a perch

Gooooooood to know!!!!

I have dozens of these scattered throughout my property. They look great. If I could give you a tip, cut a disk off one end first for the bottom, just looks more natural and saves you cutting one to fit from another material.

This is just superb, I've been looking for "birdhouse instructions simple" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Daniliana Birdfly Babar - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin got amazing results with it.

That's a good idea but you'll get better drainage if you recess the bottom, so I would actually use a slice of the core and screw or nail it about a 1/4" up inside the birdhouse.

@@underthetrees4780 Yes I made sure to drill holes in the bottom for drainage....cheers

They look great, I would put a drainage hole or two in the base to allow water to escape just in case the rain water came through the entrance hole, also use stainless steel screws (that will not rust solid and stick) so that the sides can be opened to remove old nest material, the dead runt of the clutch (there is always a victim in the family), and sterilise the inside with boiling water. Allow to dry out and reassemble.

A hinge on the bottom plate for easy clean out. Great job keep them coming.

Love them! What a great idea!

I like the different ways you used the logs. And how easy you made it look. I gotta try your method. Thanks for sharing.

Добрая душа, спасибо за идею!

If you sell those bird houses, tons of people will buy them! So beautiful they are!

I really appreciate you taking the time to show how it can be done with various tools, just awesome thanks

Now that is Lateral thinking. Impressive!

Thank you for sharing Bill 🤠👍

Great tips! A miter saw (chop saw) would probably work well, too. 12" would probably be easier than a 10."

Thanks I like the idea of splitting the log. I think it will look more natural

I don’t even have logs but this video is too good to skip 🤣💯 I took woodshop all years of high school it was one of the best Classes available, Peaceful work I felt like Jesus himself haha

Thanks for the nice video!

Really well explained! Thanks

Great projects.

Loving so many options, but agree with others... slice a piece off the bottom before splitting or carving up the body for the base. This piece could easily be screwed on for access to clean it out periodically.

This looks like a great project for me!, i got the trees too!

BRAVO !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍💪🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾 él hombre ! Todo lo puede hacer 🙈 y ellos ( los pajaritos ) se lo van agradecer , con sus cantos a diario .🌞

Wow. Great job. Super bird boxes😃👍

Excellent Out class idea appreciated

So beautiful.

Looks so pretty. I definitely don't have the tools for this project yet.

Great Work

Really minimal effort if it's a sharp hatchet.

Good idea, might give that a shot if my bandsaw will hog through that much material.

Awesome, love it

Great ideas for preserving our biodiversity of VASUNDHARA (🌎)

Very good ideas and a great demonstration sir well done..

I like that stuff keep it up, we want to see more using the natural wood god bless

Great 👍👍👍

Ein ganz feines Video! Sehr gut und anschaulich gezeigt. Bravo.

Great ideas! 👍👍🦚

That's pretty cool nice job 👍

excellent

Great ideas! You could also use the e-chainsaw as you already have it there for #2. One thing I would/might/will do is cut off a puck from the chosen piece of log to attach straight back onto the bottom. Aaaaaaaaaand yet another cool project for me to do! Dang you! Ha ha ha ha

Thank you!

thank you for this awsome video!!!

Need a bigger band saw. 😂 I will split my log like you showed, got a piece in the garage, what fun, thank you

Szuper jó ötletek.

👌 super coooool.txs

C'est vraiment très joli !

Good for both round birds and square birds.

i enjoyed this..thank you

Good video! You forgot to mention another method... Wood lathe... Awesome video in any case. 👍🏼

Bravo et merci pour ces bonnes idées.!

Thanks you very much 😊😊😊

The opening seems very high for the young birds. I piece of mesh or cloth inside leading up to it would help a lot. Also, the size of the hole is determined by what type of birds you want to attract.

The 45-degree cuts made with a template are you still cutting the centre out with the bandsaw ? Also what size blade are you using on the bandsaw 1/4 ?

Nicely done...

Very nice.

Awesome

That a nice idea but a lot of work to not know what bird will habitat. The location of nest, size and location of the hole are important as well as the means to clean, provide drainage and venting

sensacional, like

I need help. We live on a 1st floor apartment. Our neighbor on the 2nd floor just moved in and uses an owl decoy which has affected birds (and humming birds) to come visit our beautiful patio, bird feeders and bird bath. Before she moved in our birds visited often and had so much fun. Can you give me advice on how we can get the birds to return to our bird haven. Love your youtube video

U r à very good teatcher, l like very mutch ur job. 👍👍👍

Great vid. Does the type of blade on bandsaw matter if its green wood and also do you seal up the bandsaw ‘entrance’ cut?

You could probably use a lathe to hollow out the middle A bit more wasteful but it should still work

Use the cut out part of the log for a hummingbird house? I love your design.

Nice one

Just curious what species of wood a person should look for. I live on the Canadian Prairies in east-central Alberta. Not many large trees to be had and not much variety of different species. Lots of box elders (or "Manitoba Maple" as we sometimes call them). Any poplars that fall down are usually too rotten and cracked to make use of.

where do you buy the hatchet and the rounded Az which you used in your video?

Another way is to use a large diameter boring bit like a 3"-4" one or stacked hole saws.

Thank you and congratulations for your simplicity and exemplary clarity in the examples provided! best wishes end good work from Roma

Any place where I can buy these already made? I dont have any space to make something like this or the tools either.

Y cuando después de un tiempo quieran limpiar el interior, para eliminar ácaros, restos de heces, etc, como harían?

VERY NICE

Could you tell me what band saw blade that is please.

Hi, could you not have used the woodturning lathe to hollow out your logs

Nice

Just lovey

perfetto 👍👍

So simply! All I can do in our kitchen...

Los maestros

Don't fix a perch under the hole as it gives predators something to sit on as it eats the young.

Those middle sections could in turn be hollowed out to make bird feeders!

👍👍👍👍👍

Most people don't own a band saw and probably would not buy one just to make a log birdhouse, so this is impractical. However, one can often find pine logs already hollowed out by ants.

Tuyệt vời

Когда мастер раскалывал чурочку, можно было с одной детали не скалывать нижнюю часть. А спилить её на нужной высоте. Тогда остальные части точнее лягут на место. И днище сразу готово. )))

What size band saw? I'm looking to buy a used one.

using an Electric Worx toy chainsaw. lol Cute !!!
