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!

    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!

    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)!

    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.

    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.
