Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "birdhouse patterns to make" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Daniliana Birdfly Babar - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my brother in law got cool results with it.
I like it! Wonderful finished product. Sonny You are fast and organised. You should go a long way. I myself am into Budgerigars and Aviary set up. Am still a kid at heart but am 80y old.
Your jig saw cuts like a band saw. Great use of all your other tools as well. Very nice birdhouse, I would love to see what you could do with more warning. :-)
hope you did good that year its a nice birdhouse ....just thought it needed more time on detail for it if its for a contest because in contest they surely take a long time and pay attention to detail but for a bird house its really nice quick one to make and own.
Thank you I'm glad you like it! A lot of bird house builders don't add perches because the can be dangerous. Birds tend to not use them and can injur themselves flying into them also they are easier access for predators from what I've read so I didn't add one.
I don't know james duncan personally but wanting to do something and making the effort are always better than talking about it. Who knows he might practice for a few months and come up with something way better than what I've done. And even if it took 5 years that's still awesome and he will have gained a lot of skill along the way. :)
Lovely design! Let us know if any birds decides live in a multiple family duplex! The entrance seems a litlle big for little birds who wishes to feel protected against intruders!
I, for one, feel your pain about working in a flooded shop! I'm on the New Jersey Shore and deal with it all of the time, I've overcome the problem by having all of my tools, supplies, and equipment raised to a 4" level on pallets is my shop! Keep[ up the GREAT Work! Marcel, 'The Wood Butcher"... :-)
Nice job, young dude. From my experience building birdhouses with multiple entrance holes, it seems like only one bird will nest in the house. Birds do not seem to accept the close proximity of the holes if there is already a nest being used.????
He used his drill press as a lathe, he has extension cords and power bars hanging everywhere and some @#! ? grumbles about $1000 worth of tools. Hilarious...still laughing - at you.
Very beautiful, I would love to know how you did in the competition. Just a thought, are the holes a little too large for the birds you mentioned? Did you put it up in your yard, and did they use it? Thank you for sharing with all of us your love, and talent for working with wood.
The shape is very unique and the turned walnut trim is perfect. Is there a place where you can access the inside to clean it out? This is the second video of yours I've now seen, the first was "Dat Dumpster". I'd love to see more build projects like this one, very creative. You've got a new subscriber. :-)
You did a very cute birdhouse in the short amount of time you had. Bravo! 👍🏻 A few details like a perch would be handy for the birds and the roof shingles could be staggered like on a regular roof.
Superb workmanship and attention to detail on the birdhouse, so kudos for that. Unfortunately, you can tell you don't know anything about birds that will nest in a man-made birdhouse. You don't build a bird house first and then hope some bird will build a nest in it. You have to build a bird house for a 'specific' kind of bird and build it with THAT bird in mind. For instance, small birds like chickadees, wrens and bluebirds love to build nests in a small house with a small opening (1- 1 1/4" at the very most) with no perch and no ledge of any kind, Ledges and perches are deadly for just hatched fledglings, thanks to predators like squirrels, neighborhood cats, black birds, blue jays etc. Also, the only birds I have ever seen that will nest that close to another bird's nesting area are starlings. What you will typically have with the sort of birdhouse you've built is one family will move into one of the houses, and larger birds will fight or kill them off to take over the territory.
I more just built it for the competition. Not much research went into the actual birds unfortunately. So maybe I should have titled the video "awesome little house with holes in it" 🤣
wow! at the part when you are sanding the bird mansion by hand, you are sanding so quickly, and so fast, and with such agility! I could hardly see your hand moving and yet, you were as steady as a steadyman! Listen here, I own electric sanders whom do not even sand as fast as you were! how long until I can hand - sand that fastly? very great work by the way!.........sorry, i cant help from being a sarcastic idiot sometimes :) keep up the good work. your video was very helpful
ONE OTHER QUESTION--I TRIED MAKING A ROOF WITH SHINGLES DIFFERENT THAN YOURS--ITS WAS SHAKE SHINGLES 2 INCHES BY 2 INCHES BIT ITS DIFFICULT TO PUT ON--YOUR ROOF IS DIFFERENT. WHAT TYPE OF WOOD IS THAT AND HOWQ THIN--I NEED THIN WOOD FOR MY ROOF AND DO IT THE WAY YOU ARE DOING--ANY SUGGESTIONS--THANK YOU FOR THE HELP.
Mark Woolery The roof is black walnut, they are cut half 1/8" and the other half slightly thinner that's how the shingles sit fairly flat and fit together when gluing.
This is a very amateur question, but is that a nail gun that you are using to connect the shaped pieces together? And if so what type/thickness nail do you use. I have been wanting to slow get into woodworking as a hobby, and am trying to pick up ideas here and there.
une très belle création mais les oiseaux ne vont pas aller dedans faire leur nid les ouvertures sont trop grandes les oiseaux ont peur des prédateurs j'ai eu le tour j'ai rapetissé le trou et les oiseaux sont venus faire leur nid !! petit conseil de passage !!
CNWOODWORK THATS NICE. I WORK FOR MYSELF AND JUST STARTED MAKING BIRDHOUSES FOR A SIDE BUSINESS BUT NOTHING LIKE THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN.-WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT ENTIRE VIDEO.

Your jig saw cuts like a band saw. Great use of all your other tools as well. Very nice birdhouse, I would love to see what you could do with more warning. :-)
Me encantó esta casita para pájaros! Yo decoro casitas con decoupage, pero creo q haré este modelo, gracias por compartir!
hope you did good that year its a nice birdhouse ....just thought it needed more time on detail for it if its for a contest because in contest they surely take a long time and pay attention to detail but for a bird house its really nice quick one to make and own.

Lovely result!
Just beautiful
Thank you!
JUST AMAZING!
Nice job, looks great for a quick build.
Looks great
Wesome thanks for sharing !
I would love to buy the plans for this house.
Beautiful, gotta add a perch, or two, or three.
Thank you I'm glad you like it! A lot of bird house builders don't add perches because the can be dangerous. Birds tend to not use them and can injur themselves flying into them also they are easier access for predators from what I've read so I didn't add one.
Cool build man hope you charging them bird rent lol.
Cheers

You totally can! Just takes practice. I have faith in you!

Well I think it looks grate! Thank you for showing us how to make won. Ok by.
Beautiful!!!

awesome job great detail I'd love to have plans keep up the great work!
Lovely design! Let us know if any birds decides live in a multiple family duplex! The entrance seems a litlle big for little birds who wishes to feel protected against intruders!
It's actually at my grandmother's house and her birds love it. Just one family at a time and not sure what kind of birds but they keep coming back.
@@CNTHINGS I'm thrilled you got tenants! Can you find out from your granmma whar kind of birds they are? And the diameter of your entrances? Thx
I'll ask her!
@@CNTHINGS 👌👍
Love it. But the holes look too big for native birds. Look at Cornell University's ornithology website for the proper hole diameter.
Really nice job.
I, for one, feel your pain about working in a flooded shop!

Молодец!!!
I want that!!!
If your in NJ I could make it for you.
Looks good
Did you win?? Thats a pretty sturdy looking bird house...
I did win something, Thanks!
I think not a easy birdhouse to make! I joined you're channel!
Thank you!
Parabéns pelo o seu trabalho. Essa casinha de passarinho ficou show de bola. Sucesso a você brother,forte abraço. Brazil/Minas Gerais...
Thank you!
@@CNTHINGS Eu também gosto de inventar algumas coisas, quando eu mudar para os EUA vou ter uma oficina daquelas.
Nice .... but you work a little to slow for me .... LOL !! Great job ! Love it !!
Amazing bird house I hope you came 1st place
Love your birdhouse - good job!! Hope you won the contest. I look forward to seeing more of your woodwork.
Brilliant
nice work
Wow, you have so,e amazing talent, I wish I could do that! 🤓
Amazing what you can build with a couple of thousand worth of equipment!
Well the boy scouts build bird houses with hand saws so you can do anything you put your mind to.
He used his drill press as a lathe, he has extension cords and power bars hanging everywhere and some @#! ? grumbles about $1000 worth of tools. Hilarious...still laughing - at you.
3:30 intense scrubbing

notsunkyet Thanks! The bottom just comes off with screws so its easy to clean. :)
You did a very cute birdhouse in the short amount of time you had. Bravo! 👍🏻
A few details like a perch would be handy for the birds and the roof shingles could be staggered like on a regular roof.
let us ask the birds if shake need staggering what do you think

Awesome, do you have plans for sale?
I completely just winged this one so I don't have plans for it but I'll try to do some of the future and make plans available
Awesome bird house. I think I missed something you added the sides and the bottom was curved. Did you saw the bottom to be straight? Thanks
Thanks! It's straight in the back and contoured in the front.
Perfect!
chulisima!!
i love it!!!
Well, that's 100% decorative... If you want a birdhouse that birds will live in, don't use any oils or sprays.
Once the finish cures there's no smell. The birds love this birdhouse 😍
Love this bird house but how would you hang it?
It's made to go on a pedestal.
What did you use for the stain on the shingles? Great looking birdhouse, great void,
wow! at the part when you are sanding the bird mansion by hand, you are sanding so quickly, and so fast, and with such agility!

haha thanks! Glad you liked it.
I kept going through a whole bunch of comments on here and I didn't see how well you did in the contest. How did you do?
I placed second or third if I remember correctly.
Nice....

CNWOODWORK I WILL HAVE TO FIND WOOD THAT THIN
CNWOODWORK Thanks again for the help!
Great! Did you win?
I did!!
@@CNTHINGS
Excellent, well done!
Quality!
love the roof. What did you spray all over the house?
Thanks! I used polyurethane spray for the finish.
This is a very amateur question, but is that a nail gun that you are using to connect the shaped pieces together? And if so what type/thickness nail do you use. I have been wanting to slow get into woodworking as a hobby, and am trying to pick up ideas here and there.
Yes it is. For your first gun I'd go with a nailer/stapler. This one shoots 18 guage 1in-2in nails and staples.
Could you please send me the layout of the birdhose. It is awesome :)
+Ferenc Molnár I didn't draw up any plans unfortunately :/
Je to moc pěkné,jaký používaš olej
Polyurethane
awesome job anyway to get dimensions
homelifeeffect Thanks! unfortunately I didn't get a chance to jot down dimensions or make plans before I gave it away.
Hey, Wilson from Brazil.
could you please send templates?
thank you
une très belle création mais les oiseaux ne vont pas aller dedans faire leur nid les ouvertures sont trop grandes les oiseaux ont peur des prédateurs j'ai eu le tour j'ai rapetissé le trou et les oiseaux sont venus faire leur nid !! petit conseil de passage !!
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO BUILD THIS AND HOW MUCH WOULD IT BE SOLD FOR?
Mark Woolery Probably about 10 hrs total and I've been offered $180 to build another one like it.
CNWOODWORK THATS NICE. I WORK FOR MYSELF AND JUST STARTED MAKING BIRDHOUSES FOR A SIDE BUSINESS BUT NOTHING LIKE THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN.-WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT ENTIRE VIDEO.
I think you can sell this bird house project on a computer.
the last time i built a bird house a bird got in it....who knew.
Cool
Hey how'd you cut the entrance hole? didn't see it in the vid. Thanks
I drilled a pilot hole then used a hole saw to make the outer bevel and a size smaller to make the actual hole.
cool thanks
