Build a Cedar Bird House for Just $3! 🐦✨

Bird house plans

In this woodworking tips video I’ll show you how to build a cedar bird house for just $3 in materials. Making a birdhouse is a fun beginners woodworking project. To help you build this cedar birdhouse, I’ve included a link for woodworking plans. This DIY birdhouse is a fantastic homemade gift for Christmas or for any other holiday.

I’ll go into detail about the bird house and even give some good woodworking tips along the way. To show you shouldn't need fancy tools, I’m going to do all of this build with basic woodworking tools. I’ll be using a Ridgid drill, a Ridgid jigsaw, a Bostich brad nailer and a Makita circular saw. You can also do a lot of this with you table saw, if you have one.

My wife and I built this bird house using your $2.99 pdf instructions. The instructions were fantastic and the bird house turned out great. Everyone loves it. Thank you very much for your exquisite instructions !

This is awesome. Thanks for putting it together. Gonna try and put this together with my son today.

[livingHim]

My kids are so excited now to build a birdhouse!

[tomayrscotland]

excellent vidoe thanks.Tom 76 yrs old, this gives me something to do today...

[mrmoto]

Awesome! I think it needs a couple of vent holes on the floor and inside near roof though.

[Cloobornius]

That trick with the square using it to get straight cuts… genius

[OleMarty_mar]

Thank you for this! I was looking to build something for my little porch visitor, a Carolina Wren that likes to sleep nestled in a corner but it’s been uncharacteristically cold these last few days. Wind, rain and ice (it’s Florida) last time I remembered this happening was in 1989! lol
I wanted to give him or her some extra protection from the extreme weather conditions! I will be trying this 🥰

[AmyWinehouse.]

Very good.I would have added some drainage holes under the base.

[PJsLeafLife]

This is excellent, you teach well! Kudos man

[CraftedbyRay]

Great video! love the plans people ask me all the time. I don't know how to start making plans 😕

[ingetnamn-defc]

At least 20 centimeters (8 inches) from the bottom of the hole to the floor. So predators can't take the birds so easy.

[carriecreates]

Very nice!
Thank you for teaching us!!

When you build a bird house you should do one that can be opened so you can clean it with hot water once a year.

What was the name of the drill bit you used to cut the hole. I looked in the description and you listed everything but the bit. You said the name several times but I couldn't understand you. So please tell me the name of it. Thank you. Love your channel

[akwaltzer]

You need to make it easy to clean out after the nesting season is over!

[kelleyforbes]

How/where would you add eye holes to hang on a hook?

[Yendi]

Can you make a video showing how to cut a 4'x8' board on the table saw? There's videos on YouTube, but none of the ones I've seen use a portable table saw

The prices have dropped a lot here in florida for wood birdhouses making them no longer a money maker..nice ones for $10..

[liquidhalf]

I think a dowel sticking out of the front under the entrance hole would be a good perch.

[colem]

a jigsaw and circular saw are fancy tools to me lol
