I love watching people making bird houses just like this one.

Great video Wes! I am retired only starting in woodworking. This is more a how to use video which i love. Always Learning. I made my first birdhouse and am ready to try a more complicated one now.!

Nice video. I have made dozens of bird houses and I was always taught to make sure there were vents.

No vent holes a death trap, a one time house no way to clean it out. But if you understand how to put vent holes in or don't do the 30 degree cut on the sides and you have ventilation. and 2 pins and a screw in the bottom so you can clean out!

This would make a great beginners project, really enjoyable video as always Wes,keep them coming!👌👌👌👍👍👍👍

Great videos, my only comment is that in the second house made I would have a catch or lock to the hinged roof as squirrels will lift the roof and take the young or eggs.

Awesome thanks

Only one problem - How do you easily clean it?

Gracias x ese vídeo me gusta mucho 😊.

Good easy video to follow along with. Thank you for your time. Alf🙂🙂🙂

Are you building it for show or for a bird to live in? If it is for a bird to live in, omit the little perch on the front. Predator birds will sit on it and use it to help them peck inside the house. The smaller birds that will live in the house do not need the perch to access the house.

Hi Wes. I tried to copy your first bird house and I run into a problem. How did you do the floor ? What should be the width before you do the 15 degree miter ? If I say the width of the floor is 51/2 inches and then do a 15 degree miter cut , the floor width will not match the width of the front and back. Second , I see your cuts are so perfect , do you mill your pieces before you start ? If you do , do you send them through jointer and thickness planer ? I would really appropriate your input.

Hi Wes, Is there any reason for not gluing as well? Great presentation mate, thankyou. Bob.

Thank you

I made one like your second model and the hinge kinda gets pinched when I try to open the door. Any ideas? Should i chisel out a spot for the hinge?

Good shit

Brilliant insight yet the only thing is... You did explain the bottom panel Lol

2 things how are you gonna clean it since you nailed the whole thing 🤔? 2 the pegs are easy to sit on it till they kill its other than that looks nice just wish i had a table saw any tips to cut the degrees with a hand saw ? lol

I would skip the 30 angle so there is air movement

I am confused by the marks on the chop saw, how did you know where to make those? I think it would be easier if you said how far to measure from the edge and make a mark on the wood in order to get that 15 degree cut

No Vent holes? No Drainage holes??

150yrs ago!! Birds were dinosaurs back then!! Lol!! Great ideas!! Thanks!!

What do you want a whole hvac system!? lol ❤

How do you clean out the bird houce?

He keeps referring to WE, is there someone helping him build this😉 Maybe it's not so simple DIY birdhouses after all if it requires more than one person 🤣

Essential that bird boxes have vent/ drainage holes in the base. The entrance hole would benefit from a steel / metal protection rim to prevent predators from pecking out the wood. The inside of the front cover would benefit by glueing small twigs to make it easier for the fledglings to grip when egressing from the box.

You should never cross your arms/hands while using a miter saw. Look how close his hands are to the blade.

Every woodworking with wes video I watch there's steps and details not filmed or its been edited out.

WOW! Dangerous cuts with miter saw!

Another video that doesn't tell how thick the wood is

You are dangerous with your saw! YOU SHOULD NEVER CROSS ARMS while operating a miter saw. Your arm came in contact or dangerously close to the blade guard.

Why didn't you tell us about the size of the holes 😠
