Good Project for a 50+ year old female who wants to learn. Thank you for not making it complicated.
I've seen 100's of 'How to Videos' but this one from Roger's Shop was the best presentation of How To Build A Birdhouse I've ever seen. He couldn't have made it any easier to teach anyone how to build a birdhouse. Congratulations! If you're not already a wood shop teacher somewhere, you should be.
Thanks for leaving the ‘if you don’t plug the saw in…’ 🤣🤣🤣
Made me laugh!
Great video, thanks!
This is by far the best bird house building video I’ve seen. Thank you!
Thanks for the video I’m new to birding and am making some birdhouses. Also that square trick to make straight cuts is a great idea I am not the perfect straight edge cutter 😅
Brilliant makes - thank you for posting. I love these uncomplicated, sturdy little homes for birdies. I never knew robins preferred a platform to build a nest on. I also love that you shaped the corners of the floor to allow drainage. ♥
Hey, I'm Roger too. We have the same hairdo and beard. I like the trap door on the floor.
I'm glad you showed the difference between the type of bird for the type of house thanks. 👍👍
Learned a lot from you. Thanks so much!
I find it helps to put the parts into a vice or clamp during assembly so you can have at least one hand free. I made some bird houses over ten years ago and they are still being used today. Great little projects. Cheers,
I like it. I’ll definitely have a go. 🦅
Thank you for this lesson!
Good job on presentation. I make and sell birdhouse at our local county farmers market. I make them very similar to you. I would add that there are few good books and plans you can download that give you the footprint dimension, hole size and location from floor ,height mounting, at best situation to put them in (open grassy fields, wooded or semi wooded etc).
Building them to be species specific and something that will be useful and used is important as opposed to being just a decorative
The ones I most typically make are bluebird, Carolina Wren and house finch. I also make screech owl houses and bat houses.
Nice video! Very well laid out.
Thanks
Damn good video. Thanks.
Thank you Roger for your excellent teaching skills on how to build birdhouses. I am planning on building some bluebird houses with my two grandsons and two grand daughters. Bless you for taking the time to do this video.
I am really enjoying your video. I am half way through I recently bought the birdhouse boxes and feeders book from woodworker and this gives me a great visual aid when I am reading to help me work on my birdhouses for next spring. Thank you sir.
I am happy sir i like it sir
Thank you so much for spending so much time on this video and sharing your expertise. I also appreciate that you care about projects for children and that you aren't doing this for thousands of views and getting sponsors. By the way, I also have a circular saw that doesn't work unless you plug it in as I've found out several times! It is an old Craftsman and was my dad's. Growing up everything we had was from Sears from clothes washer to tools and those Craftsman tools really held up. Thanks again.
If you recess the bottom 1/2" it will keep the bottom from rotting out so fast, as the water will not wick around the side board and up into the crack.
Brilliant video I enjoyed watching & learning cheers 🍻 👍
Very nice was looking for a simple project to do with some kids
Thank going to make 1 with my grandchild ,for a British sparrow that normally nests in a hole in out wall that I filled.
I enjoyed your video. Even though I've made lots of bird houses over the last couple of decades, I'm always looking for tips and new ideas. I have a robin that makes a nest every year on top of my front porch light which is protected by the overhead roof. I decided 3 years ago to make a robin box similar to yours but a little bigger and attached it to my porch wall right beside my porch light. They still build a nest on top of the light instead of in the robin box I built. The light bulb must put off some heat that they prefer, who knows. Also, just FYI, a female bluebird can raise up to 3 clutches of babies in the same bird house if you remove the old nest as soon as the last baby has flown the coop. Fledglings generally won't return to the nest, although they might hang out for a while nearby hoping mamma or papa will still feed them. By the way, your workshop is to die for! Thanks for the video.
Hi i'm from Portugal i'm in France on my truck spending quality time watching your vídeo it's an really nice one, thanks...
I thoroughly enjoyed your video on building the three types of birdhouses. I will be making a birdhouse kit for my granddaughter. Her mother said she would enjoy building a house along with me. I think you did a great job sharing your knowledge and expertise. I have subscribed and look forward to future videos. Thanks again!
Fantastic video thank you
Roger got most of the elements of building bird boxes that are safe of eggs and chicks but missed a couple things. Predator blocks are essential to keep predators from reaching in and taking eggs and chicks, There is inadequate ventilation which means boxes and eggs and chicks can succumb to excess heat, always add a few shallow kerf saw cuts below the access hole inside and out. The inside cuts allow chicks to climb out when they fledge. Rather than have the floor drop out, I have one of the side pieces hinge open for ease of cleaning and checking eggs and chicks. Roger knows what hw is doing but I think he'll agree the most important thing is the safety of eggs and chicks.
That glue dispenser is the bomb! Where can I buy one?
Amazon
Thanks for the video. I made a PDF of the Wren House form your plans and description. If you want a copy to post let me know.
60° in December it sounds like Michigan
Illinois...................Same Midwest winters!
2:51 or a egg beater drill
❤😊😊😊
Nice video is that definately only a 10 degree angle for the roofs? . I only ask as I've seen other videos saying it's a 45 degree.
Are there any plans for this built
All dimensions are given. There are no written plans as these are very basic.
Prices of wood has doubled. What use to cost me $4.59,. Now costs me $9.29.
Trim I use to pay $5, now costs $16. Nails, screws, wood stain and paint has all gone up.
Fence pickets have stayed pretty much the same though.
Out of necessity, I’m forced to build with pallet wood. Zero cost for this elderly beginner woodworker wanna-be. No complaints from the birds in my area.
Absolutely GREAT instructional lesson!
You took your time to make it clear, even to me!
The motoric shaking comes from lectins that goes into the leky gut holes and enters the bloodstream and travel up the vagus nerve to the brain. Lectins are now known to be able to “crawl” inside nerves. It has been shown that lectins can travel up the vagus nerve from the stomach to the area of the substantia nigra in the brain and get deposited in an area that leads to Parkinson's disease/condition.The most common symptom of lectin sensitivity include gut problems, brain fog, anxiety, depression, insomnia, skin conditions, and fatigue. This can be prevented with not eating anything containing these compounds like nuts and seeds like peanuts and peas to mention two but can be found in many products.
Essential Tremors. Born with it. Learned to live with it.
I didn’t see any shaking. What am I missing. BTW, awesome video. I’m headed to the store to get some wood. Thanks
why robin bird are so easy for predator's?
How thick is that board?
Cedar fence pickets can vary from 1/2" to 11/16". Most average 5/8".
I didn’t know if there was more than one size width of those boards
Thank you very much for the reply back. I’m looking forward to making some of those tomorrow. I appreciate you giving all the instructions and not charging money for them. You’ve done an awesome job. Keep it up!
@@cherylmcguire7960 These are the "nominal" 5-1/2" wide. There is also a 3-1/2" wide available.
What are the sizes of each board
Once again no measurements. How do we make them. Excellent video otherwise
Full sketches and dimensions are at the end of the video.
Can you show us an owl house please?
the O is small and too much large
