Hello and good morning The blue birds here in MA start to look for new home… Thanks for your video this is what I was looking for! Can please tell us the size of the entrance hole if you can. Again thank you so much
Nice, simple, and easy to do project. I have that same Ryobi nailer, along with about a dozen other Ryobi tools, including the compound miter saw, and table saw. It makes projects like this easy, fun to do!!!
Love those tools!!!..When you have the correct tools it makes the job or the project so much easier....Sometimes I feel using the tools is half the fun..Using all the tools to shape something is a Great feeling,,stay safe
Nice easy to make houses. I suggest vents at both the bottom and top. This will provide greater cooling. Correct entrance hole will make your house more attractive for the birds you want.
Hello Bird Friend, Superb work done for our Winged Friends. However, a little advice; - Drill ventilation holes at the bottom at the four cardinal corners and one in the center to avoid humidity and mold which could decimate a partial or total nesting. - For a single sloping roof, always leave an offset on each side of the nest, in case of rain and wind the sides will not rot. - Linseed oil heated in a bain-marie for exterior protection to be repeated each year, the interior remains natural, doing nothing. Good continuation to you the Friend, Sincerely Alain from Belgium.
Thank you my flying wings friend..Funny you should talk about the air flow...I have started using a mesh screen for the floors and its working great..Love the idea of linseed oil. I have use plenty of it in my shop but never used it there..Great ideas..Thanks for the comments, always appreciate good ideas to make us all better..
@@Backyardprojectguy, Hello my friend, Yes linseed oil is a natural product and once on the wood it protects well, obviously to redo the operation every year, I have been using the nest for 10 years, but for the spring of 2024 a new nest will be put in in place, for the mesh screen you are not afraid that the birds will take the middle fingers and nails in the holes?. Sincerely Alain from Belgium.
For the bottom I started using screens..It give good air flow and its easy to in stall..Back is two inches taller them the front..This gives you some area to mount the Bird house..Hope this helps you..
Good video, though Medium Sized Hole is vague. I think inch and a quarter is suggested in other bird house plans. Any thoughts of hinging the top? Thanks for this.
Inch and a quarter is a Good hole size..It opens it up to lot of birds..Yes I have hinged the tops of some of my bird houses and it works well. Just didn't do this one..
Its an easy project..get them in the yard and you will enjoy watching the birds....and they also make a great and different gifts for family and friends
Yes, I built one of those. Bore hole before assembly. Made of 1x2s and 1x4s that fell into my lap. 3 inch screws made this into 1x6 nominal. The hole saw hit one of these and lost all its teeth! Chiseled out the rest and de- stroyed the front. Fix was to use a 1x4 with a properly bored hole with a circle cutter. Left very long it allowed the use of used Harbor Freight instant garage poles. Drill the screw holes straight through the 1x4 at 2 points and put the pole behind that. That keeps bigger birds from attacking through the hole and pecking due to the double thickness. Well, we'll see.
I like projects like this, simple and easy...you do a good job of making this simple and easy

@@Wahnerheide good question..when i use the mesh screen i usually add some sticks ans leaves to get it started..
Awesome share brother and well done !
thanks appreciate that..I really made it for the amateur carpenter or the weekend handyman..Any master carpenter could figure it out pretty quickly..
very nice
Been bored in quarantine decided im going to make this it has been pretty cool and good project!
You will get a lot more enjoyment out of it when you hang it and get a family in it..Its fun to watch...Enjoy your projects.
@@Backyardprojectguy thanks it was so cool watching all the little birds grow up and fly off. 👍❤️🐣🐥🦉
@@millieprice4132 very cool so glad you get enjoyment out of it

"birds don't care..."
I never get bored of making bird boxes.
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Yea me too..Every time I make them I make them a little different..Always trying new things..Thanks for the comment
I like this project.
nice build...I will try to build it..
super easy project nice ..I see your channel has other videos on building birds house.. I also like the Log Cabin Bird cabin..very clever
Good directions and good video!
Thanks..simple and easy makes it fun..
Love the idea of scoring the wood just under the front hole, so the birds have something to cling onto!
Thanks..I'm calling it a Bird Ladder!!!!
@@Backyardprojectguy yes! very important!
nice project
YES!!! Really like the log cabin one also 👍👍
I like your spirit! 💪
Thanks..They are fun projects to do..
I seem to have missed the dimensions for back and bottom? Thanks for posting Ken.
For the bottom I started using screens..It give good air flow and its easy to in stall..Back is two inches taller them the front..This gives you some area to mount the Bird house..Hope this helps you..

Inch and a quarter is a Good hole size..It opens it up to lot of birds..Yes I have hinged the tops of some of my bird houses and it works well. Just didn't do this one..
Loved your video, this ii something I want my husband and myself to do together, TFS
Great project that you can work on together..and you can add your own personal touch to each bird house....Have fun
Nice
This is the content I live for. You’re doing awesome dude!
thanks..and enjoy your project...Lets go make some saw dust!!!
Been wanting to build one of these for a while now. That’s for taking the time to explain it thoroughly. Definitely subscribing.
Its an easy project..get them in the yard and you will enjoy watching the birds....and they also make a great and different gifts for family and friends
Ken Deininger I’m going to definitely build this on Saturday. I’m excited and can’t wait. Thanks for the video.
cool..have fun....then get some bait in the water!!!
Good project
That's great ! So what size do you consider a "medium" hole to be ? Around here it would be 1/1/4 to 1-3/8 ".
Yep I use the 1 3/8 for the hole size..I feel it keeps the sparrows away and the song birds use it more.
I have done the same..they make great gifts
Yes, I built one of those. Bore hole before assembly. Made of 1x2s and 1x4s that fell into my lap. 3 inch screws made this into 1x6 nominal. The hole saw hit one of these and lost all its teeth!

Sounds like a fun time and many adjustment to the project..I Like them
