Building a Rustic style Birdhouse from cedar pickets - DIY

Building a bird house..I will show you how i made this rustic style birdhouse form cedar pickets... very easy build ... just had drew the front and back and all the other cuts are straight easy cuts. Used my brad nailer and this was a quick build.

Birdhouse was really clever. I’m going to try to make one. Liked your freehand drawing of the house. Great idea!! as for the music, yeah it was a little annoying, but anybody working with saws and blades, and moving machines, also know how to mute the sound.

Been building rustic birdboxes of found materials and wood for years. Thanks for the idea of the brad nailer, which I now have and love - mine a little bigger and heavier, but wonderful device. Have to confess the music almost made me quit a couple times. Muzak x 2. Bird boxes are wonderful creative outlets when you live in the country and have lots of material!

Loved it, screws in bottom for clean out is only thought

Thanks for the video. I did make a “hinged” bottom by fitting a single angled piece inside of the bottom. The “hinges” are a single brad nail either side of one end and a bent finish nail as a latch at the other end of the bottom piece. Pull and twist the nail and the bottom becomes a trap door to clean out the previous year’s nest. Cheers.

I like it, and the use of reclaimed wood makes it even better.

Suggestion, Place a small piece of carpet under your house when putting together to prevent it from sliding around so easily. Other than that everything is beautiful.

Nice design for interior decor. Glue is your friend. Thanks for the vid.

Brilliant video, I make bird houses but this is a totally different design to mine, looks great, thanks for sharing 👍

[bagsandbling]

Love this design. Wood glue added between each roof slat and each of the side slats would make it more waterproof.

[thumperman]

Great design and always a great idea to help birds nest safety, pretty design but needs a hole or two in the base to allow for drainage also, airflow could be an issue, so some gaps in the side will help. Hope you used copper brads or rust will result in the whole thing falling apart after a year or two.

= Luv, luv, luv the stylized design. Plan 2 try it soon. Thanx 4 sharing.

It's a cute bird house but without exterior waterproof glue, it won't last long.

So easy! All you need is a bandsaw, a table saw, a miter saw, and a nail gun (plus compressor). Around $1, 000 in tools and voila! You can build a birdhouse! (Cool looking birdhouse I must admit)
