Watch as Mark builds a bird house from old cedar fence pickets that he is repurposing. Using reclaimed wood he will show you how he made this rustic style birdhouse form cedar pickets. He just had to mark the front and back and all the other cuts are straight easy cuts.
It is an easy build if you can get a hold of the materials. You can always use new material purchased from any hardware store near you.
Tools Needed -
- Wood
- Tape Measure
- Pencil or Marker
- Saw
- Drill
- 1 1/2 hole bit
- Nails for nailer
- Finish nailer (Brad Nailer)
Optional changes you can make to the birdhouse. Once it is finished you can glue around the edges to keep the rain out. You can also add a hinge and latch on the bottom so it easy to clean out.
If you are worried about your feathered friends getting slivers you can sand down the wood around the hole. A smaller hole will keep out larger birds and small animals.
