I was looking for a nice birdhouse box, that I could try to attract bluebirds with for next season. I found this one, put out by the North American Blue Bird Society, and decided to give it a go.
***Clicky Here for Plans***
Sorry, I did not capture step-by-step pictures this time, save for one before I put in the biscuits and clamped it, but here are some nice shots of the finished project. :thank_you2:
I finally got tired of trying to find decent wood at the 'big box' stores and found a really nice local, and family owned, lumber yard. Result: Much, much nicer quality of Cedar which was super nice to work with.
My goal was to build it without any screws or nails for a super clean look. The only hardware showing is the grip end of the threaded bolt to secure the door for cleaning out the box. I recently picked up a DeWalt biscuit joiner at an estate sale and had never used one before, perfect chance to learn!
Next up, my Mom wants a birdhouse for sparrows, thinking of doing this one! Plans are in metric, luckily I am bilingual. :wink:
Sparrow Next Box
Cheers,
Gavin
