How to Build a Modern Birdhouse | Woodworking Project
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This modern birdhouse project was a blast! I made this for my wife's birthday, and she absolutely loves it. I made this using walnut and ash hardwood, but it can also be built using half-inch plywood. I tried to be as thorough as possible in the video. If you have any questions about the build, I would be happy to answer them in the comments! Enjoy the video!

Thank you David! I love your channel.
What a fab video, the bird box looks great. I am definitely going to have a go at making one of these. The only thing I would add is the ability to remove the panel to the left of the bird hole to allow for cleaning. I bet this has weathered well to a wonderful colour now. 👍👍👍

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, making the panel removable is a good alteration. I just end up using chop sticks at the end of the season. The color and patina on this one is indeed fantastic!
Absolutely gorgeous! What a gift, my nephew is wanting to build his own birdhouse but with being too young to use a table saw etc. I’m premaking him his own that he can put together and hang. Found this video, thanks for sharing!!!

Looks great. Thanks for sharing your process. A few suggestions from the Audubon society birdhouse book: skip the peg to limit predator access, and make sure the roof is removable for future cleaning. I think the inside might be okay but it wouldn't hurt to have some structure for baby birds to climb out. And you did a good job avoiding toxic paints and finishes (and no finish on the inside)!

Thanks! I put the perch on for that “classic” look but I think it would look and function well with out it too.

Ok, that work is awesome, but I did not see any door or access to clean the inside of the house, when the birds leave the nest, but I will make a door for it at the bottom or at the back which can be opened and closed to clean the interior, thanks for show us your great job ! 😉👍

Thanks! I used chop sticks to clean it out last year. But adding a door or plug at the bottom is a great option too.
I love your design, but one thing you forgot is a clean out for the house. I can not sell houses in my area using the wood that you do but I can do a stain.
@TimberBiscuitWoodworks
Жыл бұрын
Thank you! I just use chop sticks to clean it out, but you could opt for a plug on the bottom. And a stain would work, just make sure it can hold up to the elements.
How do you open the bird house to clean it out? It should be cleaned out early every spring or fall.
@TimberBiscuitWoodworks
2 жыл бұрын
I actually used chopsticks the first year to clean it out. But I might drill a larger hole in the bottom this year and then cut a plug for it. Honestly it just depends on how full it gets each season.
Do you let the weight of the wood be the clamps with tape holding everything still
@TimberBiscuitWoodworks
3 жыл бұрын
The tape has a little stretch to it so it acts as a clamp for the areas where an actual clamp would be difficult to use.

is there any other way to make a hole in a birdhouse because i dont have that drilly circle thing and i cant find it anywhere
@TimberBiscuitWoodworks
3 жыл бұрын
Good question! So you could use a spade bit but just be careful with that as they sometimes like to walk out of the hole. I would use a punch or an awl to mark the center location before drilling. And make sure you clamp down your workpiece to a piece of scrap wood or plywood so you don't get tear-out when the bit breaks through the other side.
I'm building this for my girlfriend for Christmas but don't have a woodshop. Can I build this with basic tools?
@TimberBiscuitWoodworks

That’s awesome! You can build this with a jigsaw honestly but it will just take a little longer. The grooves in the front and back are really the only thing you need a table saw to do.
Are 4x4 good for table legs?

I guess I’ll have to build a feeder once it warms up.
Were birds ever attracted to it? Coincidental I ran into this video, I'm in the process of finishing my ash birdhouse with tung now. Mine doesn't have any maple though. And I'm using a slightly different method on the tung. Still using pure tung oil though - natural & waterproof.
