Really nice. I raise monarchs and certainly would love to have one of these.

[@FunWithWoodworking]

You and me both!

[@Gary1964muslim]

Very nice video. Loved the detailed work applied. Thumbs up to your wife and sons for their commitment to add their hands to keeping the Monarch with us.

[@justthefactslibrarian3935]

This is great! The library has about 50 monarch caterpillars right now. Our basic net enclosures aren't big enough. We can build one of these for next year's crop of monarchs.

Donnarchs where y’all atttt

[@chillnwithfabz985]

I need to make this! Looks great!

[@erinvaughn3739]

That's a butterfly penthouse 💖😁💖😁💖

[@DrivewayWorkshop]

God to see you back building!

[@FunWithWoodworking]

+Driveway Workshop Thanks! Life has been hectic lately. I still try to get out every once in a while.

[@rababallawati5295]

Amazing! Love This 😍❤️

[@rachelmccolley7949]

BUTTERBABES UNITE! 🦋🖤🦋

[@DETH_ADDR]

this is pretty much exactly what I need to build for my chameleon!

[@johannabraat8848]

Great easy process! Thanks for the video. ;-)

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

That's pretty cool... came out great! 🤓

[@FunWithWoodworking]

+Live Free and DIY Thank you very much!

[@clarencejackson5284]

Nice

[@MomoSimmer]

Donnarch sent me. 🥰

[@barryroberts6470]

Looks great well done, a long hard day/night to make that. On a side note, what do you think of the Ryobi Airstrike Nail Gun? Take Care, Barry (from England)

[@casperthenotsofriendlyghos8968]

I love this build! It’s a tad big though for my house. I’m new at doing these projects. are there measurements to make this smaller ?

[@genawalker4935]

Thanks so much for posting this! It is very helpful! Are you able to provide me with measurements? Thanks so much!

[@jenniferolson6797]

I tried to read all of the comments before I offered my idea, in case you had already addressed this.
*Putting the screen material on the inside (of the bottom at least) would make it a lot easier to clean out the frass. 😉 Very good work!

[@FunWithWoodworking]

Thanks for the idea! If I ever make one again, I will give it a try.

[@kathleenstump1602]

I would love to build one of these but I would definitely need plans

[@FunWithWoodworking]

Plans are now available on my website. www.funwithwoodworking.com

[@sandyhultgren4140]

Well, that is exactly what I want. It would take me an entire summer to build this. Wish I had that chop saw you use.

[@bkolak]

How sturdy is this enclosure. Would I be be better off using post for the legs?

[@diette10]

I too raise Monarchs! Gonna ask the hubs to make this for me. 💛🖤🧡

[@FunWithWoodworking]

Awesome! Please send pictures when he finishes it.

[@briannabanaga2223]

Would you be able to do something like this but dialed back for say a chameleon ! Just found you channel super cool !!

[@Mark-te8ky]

do you keep this outside when it rains?

[@sherryroberts7716]

Did I hear thunder in the background as you were working?

[@kimuseni]

Awesome

[@FunWithWoodworking]

Thanks!

[@chriskelly8389]

Man awesome video! Looks easy enough but....

[@FunWithWoodworking]

Thanks! It wasn't difficult, just time consuming...

[@daverobinson8916]

I bought all the supplies and ready to go but had one question about the brad nails. Should they be 1.5 inch, 2 inch might be too long?

[@FunWithWoodworking]

All of the lumber should be 1 1/2" thick so I would go with 2" to 2 1/2" brads or staples.

[@iangoddard5915]

Any idea what's the micron size of the mesh screen used?

[@FunWithWoodworking]

I think this is what I used. www.homedepot.com/p/VisiScreen-36-in-x-84-in-VS1-Series-Charcoal-Replacement-Safety-Screen-Door-Mesh-VS1B3X7/206977416

[@dalaniz999]

Any way to download these plans instead of mail once purchased?

[@dalaniz999]

NM- Found it on your site.

[@williamlaurenseber1054]

Do you have the measurements?

[@FunWithWoodworking]

Yes, you can find them on my website here: funwithwoodworking.com/product/butterflyv1/

[@leonmoeller3182]

Any way I could get the dimensions on all this?

[@FunWithWoodworking]

Yes, of course. I have them on my website here: funwithwoodworking.com/product/butterflyv1/

[@johnprimerano534]

Nice but plans are worth $7,99 not $24.99. Just saying, nice project though

[@39croatia62]

ilike this

[@diandrarm5216]

I would like to see the butterfly how they enter end they inside are.

[@FunWithWoodworking]

My wife and kids picked them off the plants in the back yard and put them in the enclosure. This was to prevent them from getting infected from other insects. I have another video showing some of them hatch into butterflies.

[@diandrarm5216]

@@FunWithWoodworking But that is oppend? That protect them from parasitics insects?

[@jonny_mazerati9410]

I’m so confused ... where’s the end result ????

[@alexeml75]

GOOD

[@FunWithWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@denafreeborn424]

Would have been nice to have dimensions.

[@FunWithWoodworking]

[@kristine6996]
