      Cheers for this, I've been looking for "blueprints for bird houses free" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Daniliana Birdfly Babar - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.

    Some of the birds we get around here have told me they are fans of Frank Lloyd Wright so I'm sure you have birds that will like that bird house. Seriously though, that's one fine bird house. I might add some the features to my own house.

    I can't say I'll never make a bird house. But it's definitely not on my list. However... This was super fun. I love how you dressed it up. Love that you added all the little touches. Used the lathe, the laser, a little epoxy... Like I said. Not gonna make one. But it sure was fun to watch. And... Inspiring!

    Never been overly excited by mid-century modern/FLW design; not my personal taste. That said, I loved the birdhouse and the attention to details in the buildout. That’s what I appreciate most about your content - you go the extra step(s) to really finish out every piece.

    Always being an artist. That's why I was suprprised when you said it didn't need to last forever. But you're right somethings aren't meant to last for a hundred years.

    • @sgsax
      @sgsax 4 года назад +1

      @@MakeSomething Unfortunately, no. This was six years ago and I'm sorry I didn't document it. The piece stood about four feet tall, was an abstract geometric shape with holes throughout it, and sturdy enough to climb on. The faces were painted a deep red with Pollock-esque splattering on top, and the edges were painted black. As it aged in the back yard, the layers peeled and curled away like a wilting plant. This was my favorite because it came out exactly like I envisioned it in my head. I may try to recreate it and takes pictures as it decays.
