This economy is for the birds!!!

Post by mbcabinetmaker »

Being caught up for the second time in 20 years (Both in the last 6 months) I have had time to work on some piddle projects in the shop. Here are 3 bird houses from plans I ordered from the Shopsmith section of ebay.

I made a modification and added a clean out door on the back and a key hole slot for hanging

Nice job!

The idea of a clean out hole on the back is quite unique, and handy.

Have fun

Nice work. My bluebirds are enjoying a house I built for them a couple years ago.

They look great. I wish I could catch up on the piddly things so I could get back to the shop. Not really complaining, its all good. The grandkids take allot of attention.

Great looking birdhouses!! If I were a bird, I would be fighting to be a resident of one of them.

You must have a waiting list for a vacancy, don't you? My question is how do you contact the next prespective renter?
Great looking houses..........Bob
I keep finding little windows on this forum, that I don't really know what they do. So sometimes I experiment. Probably shouldn't do that, I know in my shop it can get me into trouble.
