30 years old and I just made my first bird house because of you. Took me 5 hours. I kept on having to go back to your video and I couldn’t find my tools. I’m new to learning how to use a measuring tape and I think some how my 45 degree angles didn’t match. It was a mess. But it’s built. Thank you.
Thanks for posting this I know you didn't have to show every cut but I think it was very helpful that you did because many of us beginners needed to see all the steps. It was important to show the adjustments you made both to the speed square alignment and to the roof pieces. Very well done video. Thanks again.
@@AlesEveryday The way you used your square as a guide for your saw is genius. I will definitely incorporate that into my routine. Takes all the guesswork out of it. My eyes aren't as good a they used to be, so this will really help.
I know im 3 years late here, but great video. I really love watching the process where youre learning as your teaching and watching your thought process. Great job!
Good video but dont use pressure treated lumber for bird houses. The chemicals will harm the birds. Best to use 1*5 common boards, either pine or oak. You can clear coat the outside of the birdhouse to help weatherize it, just dont coat the part of wood that will be the inside of the bird house.
Nice house. 2 points of attention: 1: large hole, you have a specific bird in mind? Dodo? :-) 2: how you're gonna clean it in winter? You nailed it all, no way to open it.
Love this, best one yet I have some pallet this may work with if not I have a wooden fence section a storm laid down that I had to replaced this I know will work .
As long as you treat the lumber with linseed oil it should be ok. I have a yard full of babies and most came from pine fence board with linseed. But I learn more everyday.
Nice project for your kids and someone getting into woodworking, But to build a birdhouse for outside to use in the wild you need to change your plans a little. Don't put a perch are a porch two stand on because predators can also stand on it and get the babies, also make the front so you can open it and clean it once a year. and cut the corners of the bottom to let any rain drain..and drill some vent holes on either side to let air in at least 3 to aside.
Ive gotten so many mixed comments and found so much mixed information on this topic of adding a dowel so the bird can stand, that I decided not to include it. Some say it helps intruders or other animals get in, some say it doesn't. It's up to whatever each wants to build. But Thank you! And yes some screws on any one side to clean it out. Thank you!
i finally made a bird house, but it turned into a bird apartment. hope the can get along. nice bird house though, some people go all out for some reason and build one better than their own house....hahaha.
This needs Vent holes, Drainage holes, a way to open it for a yearly cleaning and possible resizing so predators can't get to the chicks in side. Also a Predator Guard should be used at the hole. There is a science to building a Bird House regarding floor area, size of hole for specific birds, height of hole from floor, mounting height from ground to list a few.
Thanks always looking for options! I have about 50 or so love Birds 🦅 . I took this book shelf , and made boxes , with little ledges like you did so I could check for babies and clean um out . It looks like a hotel , came out pretty cool 😎
A little glue will seal the cracks and keep the moisture out. Just thinking about the babies. Also scrib below the hole to give some traction for the little ones to get to the door
That looks like pressured treated wood. DO NOT use that wood to make bird houses. It can make the birds sick. Use cedar fence slats instead. Great video other than material used.
You can use pressured wood but you have to wait. I have used it for years. I do not put the nest out for immediate use by the birds. I put it uncovered outdoors to weather where the birds can’t get at it for a few months. I agree you shouldn’t put the nest out for immediate use, but it would be a shame not to use perfectly good wood. I am currently using a piece of pressured wood that has been weathering outside for over a year and this nest will be put out for use immediately. I haven’t come across any problems to date.
The only time you really should of used the clamps and you missed it lol.. you clamp down the wood a million times to do straight cuts but then don't use them when your drilling holes with a forsener bit lol . Well done lad
It depends on the bird you are looking to accommodate, you can check online for what birds are around where you Live and find the right size. I think mine was about 2in
I used 1 inch nails, any would work. Make sure you leave one side with screws to be able to open it to clean it. I did so on my second video of building a birdhouse
Velmi snadný přístup pro predátory, nebezpečné pro ptáky, budka se musí každý rok na podzim čistit a dno má mít několik malých otvorů pro odvod vody. Tohle je velmi jednoduchá budka, ale celkově velmi nepromyšlená a pro ptáky naprosto nevhodná!!
That looks like a pressure treated fence board, if it isn't then disregard this comment but I was always told not to use pressure treated wood for birdhouses due to the chemicals in the wood. Thoughts?
Awesome tutorial !, just one recommendation if you will, never hold nails with your lips, it's risky my friend .Everything is well done, a very nice bird house, thank you so much.
It's all good but You should not use chemically treated wood to build a bird house. You should use non-treated pine or cedar. The concept of Your build is great but You dont wanna "kill" the birds with Your kindness because You bought cheap pressure treated dog ear fence board from Home Depot. You can find cedar dog ear fence board if You look around. Home Depot or Lowes has them....for a few cents more. Other than that great video!!!
Another video that does not tell exactly how wide that board is not it should be around 6 in or how thick the board is because those measurements did not come out and I threw it out

When you put on the bottom, do so with screws so you can easley remove the bottom for cleaning.
Yes! Or screw down just the back side to be able to open it up and clean

He used a piece of cedar it’s not treated
Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. I made my copy of your bird house today and it turned out great. Even my wife was impressed!
Making this a project to do with our 7 year old. Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial.
Awesome! Enjoy
@@AlesEveryday done! Worked out perfect. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! I was looking for a simple way to build a handful of birdhouses for my yard and this was perfect :)
You’re welcome!
just made some for the yard. Awesome man. Thanks for sharing
Awesome, thank you! 👍🏼
Nice house. 2 points of attention:
1: large hole, you have a specific bird in mind? Dodo? :-)
2: how you're gonna clean it in winter? You nailed it all, no way to open it.
should not have purh on the front for predator birds to stand on and get to the eggs
Thank you! Learned a lot. Making a first one for a friend!
Awesome to hear that!
Awesome video doing this with my girls to let them give it to their mom for mother's day gift.
Super instructions.
Very clear instructions!
Thank you!
came out great thank you
Wow, best helpful video yet for building bird houses thank you.
Anytime! Thank you!
You done a good job explaining it well done.
Wow!! Thank you so much for your time and help!! 😊 I now have the perfect bird house!! I can’t explain how happy I am:)
Glad I could help!
Well Done!! Thank you 👍
I read not to use treated wood for a bird house because the chemicals can harm the birds.
Before 2003, pressure-treated lumber was often treated with chromated copper arsenate. PT is safe now days
Love this, best one yet I have some pallet this may work with if not I have a wooden fence section a storm laid down that I had to replaced this I know will work .
Did you try it out? How did it turn out?
simple and fancy 👍 👍 👍 love the balcony
You done a great job explaining well done.
Thank you!

Very helpful

Great tutorial and simple pattern. But how do you clean out the old nest for a new season of nesting birds?
Great tutorial!!!

Go for it!
the barking when you started hammering the nails 😂
😂
A tip. GLUE the edges of the roof together and nail it. The glue will waterproof the seam.
Or put a V shaped metal aluminum on the roof seam as well. 🇨🇦. 👍😷. 💉
Great video! ✨
Very nice!
Good Job!!!
Thank you!
Put a piece of dowel in front of the hole, id put screws in the bottom also for access and throw in a little bird feed and flat tv

How would you clean it ? perhaps add some hindges
oswald Burga that’s a great idea to add!
Just one or two screws on top, bird houses don't really need a lot of cleaning.
thomas will make one of these in his woods class
Awesome!
Thanks always looking for options! I have about 50 or so love Birds 🦅 . I took this book shelf , and made boxes , with little ledges like you did so I could check for babies and clean um out . It looks like a hotel , came out pretty cool 😎

Nice Step by step video. I think you had your camera on auto focus. it was going in and out of focus.
Thank you!
Good one 👍
Thank you! Hope you check out my other builds!
can you provide the cut list please
Please write in description size and tools name and which wooden quality to b used

Partner, you really need a miter saw. , but great job if you're only building one this week haha
I have a bluebird house in my back yard. Is it OK to put this house in the same yard or does it have to be a certain distance away?
your video is so nice. i need this type of two nest. but l live in india, its possible brother?
The only time you really should of used the clamps and you missed it lol.. you clamp down the wood a million times to do straight cuts but then don't use them when your drilling holes with a forsener bit lol . Well done lad
Adding a Dab of Glue will go a Long way when putting it together!
What size hole for the bird ?
It depends on the bird you are looking to accommodate, you can check online for what birds are around where you Live and find the right size. I think mine was about 2in
Smaller the better 1.25 is best, any bigger the house Sparrows get in and kill everything. Chickadee, wrens likw 1.25. 2.0 is too big
any new bird house to see?
What wood is used to make this birdhouse. Thanks
It looked like he just used a fence panel.
@@joelmartz4689 cheers 👍
Untreated is recommended won't harm the birds then
What is the easiest way of hanging it?
How many inches thick is the wood
It’s about 1/2 inch
How did you hang it?
You can use a long screw from the inside on the back, or hang it and secure the back and bottom.
You can use a long screw from the inside on the back, or hang it and secure the back and bottom.
You can use a long screw from the inside back part or hang it and secure some support from the bottom and sides.
What type & size nails do you recommend?
I used 1 inch nails, any would work. Make sure you leave one side with screws to be able to open it to clean it. I did so on my second video of building a birdhouse
I built 5 birdhouses for the house and friends...thanks a lot for your video.
I like your video. but I think the treated wood is not healthy for bird live in. I am not sure about that. Just a little bid worry.
Nice, perfect work sir. 🙏
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you have plans for this birdhouse? Thanks
How are you going to clean it out?
What’s the length of the board
The standard fence board of 6ft
Could you add metric measurements?
So how long is the wood?
6ft tall by about 5in wide

Where can i find the dimensions?
Diameter of sparrow nest entry
How to you attach it to a tree, wall or fence?
You can use a long drill bit and attach it from inside or any way you’d like as long as it is secure and will stay put
Ale's Everyday - thanks Ale - I’m just learning to do woodwork. This is a good project to start with.
Anytime, hope you find all the other build useful to get started in woodworking!
You didn’t say what size hole to drill
👍👍
You need a jig saw.
Yes I DO! The idea was to build with the simplest tools tho. Tnxs
👏👏👏👏👏😍
That looks like a pressure treated fence board, if it isn't then disregard this comment but I was always told not to use pressure treated wood for birdhouses due to the chemicals in the wood. Thoughts?
Is anyone else here because of your teacher?
That’s awesome! What teacher sent you here?
@@AlesEveryday my ag mech and metal teacher.
How thick was the piece of wood?
It’s about 1/2
@@AlesEveryday thank you! I'm making this for a special friend's bday in 6 days!
👍
You reiterate this just decorative. No way to clean, no vent, no drainage, hole is too big, landing just invites predators.
Be sure to NOT use pressure treated wood for birdhouses. It is very dangerous to baby birds.
the camera does not show you measuring the roof pieces! Arggg!
Awesome tutorial !, just one recommendation if you will, never hold nails with your lips, it's risky my friend .Everything is well done, a very nice bird house, thank you so much.
You did not make a clean out ... Also there should be more ventilation than just the bird hole
It's all good but You should not use chemically treated wood to build a bird house. You should use non-treated pine or cedar.
