I haven’t subbed to a new woodworking channel in over 3 years. Not because there’s a shortage of woodworking channels lol. I’m impressed for what it’s worth. Looking forward to future builds.
My Friend, this “bougie•bird house build was completely over the top! I loved the creativity and thought it would be a fantastic lantern. Thanks for the share
What a beautiful bird house. I build mostly furniture and after building several large pieces, I always find it peaceful and relaxing to do something small like a jewelry box and really take my time with it and make it something special. It helps me to relax and be patient with myself when doing larger projects. Not to mention that these antique back muscles appreciate the break from lugging 12 ft boards of 8/4 walnut around the shop.
Oh my gosh I can feel the weight of walnut through your words! I didn't think a small scale project could be as equally challenging and rewarding as what I'd feel from a large scale project. This was such a fun project to realize that from and like you said, it gives a peacefulness that I tend to have less from large projects. Thank you for commenting!
This is one beautiful Birdhouse with an amazing craftsmanship! I'm still bewildered that you don't have a higher subscriber count with all the production quality you achieve with each video.
Thank you so much! I’m thinking I just gotta trust the process 😁 Until then, I’m really happy that the people who do see it have been really kind and awesome 🙏🙏🙏
The birdhouse is beautiful! And, by the way, I was watching your "I'm such an Introvert" video in which you said that you were a sculptor and pottery artist. I had the thought that you could make wooden ribs and sculpting tools for clay...just a thought...I enjoy your humor and mad skills...!
That is a good idea! I haven't been able to play with clay for a minute but I know I can make all my clay tools if I get back into it 😁🙌 I appreciate that you enjoyed the video!!
*THE BIRDHOUSE* is absolutely spectacular. The base looks like it might not work long-term. Maybe too much top-heavy weight? I'd love to see the house hanging or mounted in a tree - even though it might not be the centrepiece it deserves to be then, it would take on more of a harmonious aspect with nature. And along those lines, I'd even like to see it in a few year's time when the elements and some generations of birds have weathered it a bit too.
Yeah, I also think the base is a little weak 😂 I’ll be adjusting it and tweaking it but I wanted to at least get the video out first of the build :-) I absolutely love the idea of showing it weathered - Can’t wait to see what life has in store for it!
immediate subscribe. this is exactly what I have been looking for. recently decided I wanted to make a Free Little Library in a similar style. this gave me some motivation to get started. amazing build.
Are you building one for your neighborhood? That's so nice of you and have you got to start on the Library? Also, thank you so much for enjoying the video!
@@ClarasWoodshopYou'll need some luck as blue jays are generally stubborn about nesting in trees. I build peanut feeders to attract them instead. If you feed them shelled peanuts daily on a schedule, they will wait for you.
Great build! I really enjoy hearing your thoughts, explanations, humour and occasional random facts throughout the video. I wish I had a fact which “shook me to the core” to share. There have been many over the years, but of course, when I have a chance to share I can’t think of any 😅 Btw- Nature can be beautiful but also brutal. I wouldn’t worry about the bluejay’s behaviour- it’s just behaving as it has evolved to do & I don’t think we can judge it by our own, human morals.
100% agree with your thoughts on nature :-) There’s no way we can judge that. And thank you! This video took a lot of work and hearing that you appreciated those thoughts gives me a lot of motivation 😁😁😁 Thank you again and can’t wait to hear your shocking revelations in the future!
The project is great, and as always what you do is informative and interesting to watch. But this time I was struct by something you've probably never heard before. Your penmanship is really beautiful. I went to Catholic School from 1st through 6th grade😎😎 and let me tell you...the Nuns would have loved it. They were very big on penmanship, and yours it really artistic and easily readable.
I love making birdhouses and birdfeeders! And I've been wanting to make a pagoda style roof for one of them. Also planning on making one with a Pizza Hut roof lol
Amazing project! It looks so so good, also so cool to learn about a new species of wood I haven’t come across before in any other woodworking videos or in my local hardwood store!!
Thank you so much for appreciating it!!! And it’s always fun to work with a new species! Definitely check out IPE if you get a chance! Beautiful species :-)
I didn't think I'd be adding a bird house to the list of projects I want to do, but this has inspired me. Amazing project and phenomenal craftsmanship!
It is great to see you on here again, Clara! That was an excellent idea for a unique birdhouse (or should I say luxury condo), and you executed it brilliantly. Please take very good care of yourself and I hope you have an amazing week.
It feels great to finish a project and share it with you! And I really appreciate that you care for my well-being; that's so kind of you 😌 Wishing you an amazing week as well!
@ClarasWoodshop I started with some power tools but now maybe 90 percent hand tools, mostly vintage😅 So I understood where you struggled cutting a notch out with a chisel 😅 Amazing work though!!!
My biggest motivator for clicking on this video is I was soooooo SURE you were going to use traditional Japanese joinery for doing that roof and wanted to see how you were going to achieve that at a tiny scale without breaking any of the intricate mortises lol. Looks awesome.
What did you thought with my approach? I really thought a lot of simplifying the structure without breaking too much of traditional structure. I appreciate you watching the video with belief in what I would do.
That is a stunning birdhouse. Beautiful style. Your attention to detail is inspiring. I am no expert, but I would have thought it advisable to have a few dowels inside fir the birds to perch on and maybe even one outside under the hole so they can land on it and then climb through the hole. As I said I. Jif an expert so everyone should feel free to correct me, if I'm wrong.
Oh I’m definitely no bird expert either :-) It’ll be lovely to see what happens and make adjustments from observations! Will definitely take note of what you mentioned!
Thanks so much, John! I’m really happy you enjoy the videos and find my voice soothing. Listening to my own voice feels funny sometimes, so your comment is super reassuring 😁
I love the look of Ipe, but I went through so many blades and router bits doing an Ipe Deck. That stuff is like rock. it also has lots of silica so you have to wear lung protection. Lovely Birdhouse.
Clara, nice design, and yeah... take a moment or two to observe those bluejays... they're d**kheads. I don't have a fun fact for you, but I'll applaud your use of the toothpicks as dowels. I've done similar using bamboo skewers you find at [fill in a name] supermarket. They fit perfectly in a 1/8th hole tho they're likely metric, so you can glue the snot outta them. Also, they come in the skinny size as well as bbq-gauge. They're nice and long, too. Recommend getting a pair of nippers rather than trying to saw them or boxcutter them... much faster.
I don't know why it's so funny to hear that blue jays are buttheads 🤣 Thanks for sparking ideas on different types of skewers and nippers to cut them off. That sounds much better than cutting these toothpicks with a box cutter
Beautiful design. I’m stuck in analysis paralysis researching the preferences of the birds local to me, they are surprisingly picky. Hoping to house some gold finches next season since they visit my yard for the sunflowers I planted. Re: your final placement, I’d be worried about predators and opportunistic thieves (aka squirrels) reaching the birdhouse from the fence….
Very nice birdhouse. Two questions: 1. Is black going to make a bit of a solar oven especially out in direct sun like that--maybe place under some foliage? 2. A dowel or branch extending perpendicularly from the entry hole might be appreciated by the birds?
I want one please I have many jays and poor them I all the way up north! I have 14 jays they would love those houses. Do you sell them. Amazing watching you.
The birdhouse is really beautiful and a fantastic piece of carpentry. What I don't like so much is the thin wood. For the chicks (cave nesters) it is important that there is always a fairly constant temperature in the nest, neither too warm nor too cold. In nature, this results from the relatively thick walls of the nest. When we humans build a nest, we have to be careful to create similar conditions. Interior size, size of the entrance hole, and also the insulation. Given their design, this could be solved by inserting a simple box made of untreated, local wood inside. The box can also be a little rough on the inside on the entry wall, this gives the claws a little better grip. You also have to be careful with paint and glue. Much of it is highly toxic to animals. Some birds still peck at the opening because they don't like something yet and most birds often rub their beaks on the outside of the wall to shake off leftover food. Toxic components of the paint are absorbed. The best colors are that are also suitable for babies, so you can't go wrong with them.
@@ClarasWoodshop I built a few in my day (not as good as your) they will chew around the opening till they able to get in. The only way I stopped them was by placing a metal ring around the opening.
In defense of bluejays...We have a few chickens that we let free range in our yard during the day. Recently when I went outside in the late afternoon to put the chickens back into their run, I witnessed a bunch of blue jays very loudly harassing a HAWK that was stalking my chickens, Thankfully my chickens were smart enough to lay low in some tall plants and the hawk hadn't been able to get to them. I have a new appreciation for the blue jays, even if they do bully the other birds at the bird feeder.
@@ClarasWoodshopwell I am a beginner woodworker and rolls are limited. So pretty much everything. Joking, but tools are good to know, along with dimensions, angles and joining cuts. I would say the type of wood, but that's probably a personal preference.
Nice detailed description of India ink, but why would you not mention if it's actually safe for birds?! Most people inspired by this wonderful project won't bother/be able to source it, but will go ahead and use an alternative - which may or may not be harmful to wildlife. By omitting that detail, I fear some won't know that it should even be a consideration.
was thinking exact same thing. we get it: great design, competent build (as ever), slick video edit... but does she have any intention of providing shelter for birds and leaving this piece of art to the elements?
Great content and great woodworker/designer. The content stands on its own. I would skip the festool sponorship/partnership or else you will eventually just become like every other woodworking channel out there. Be different.
Thank you so much :-) I understand where you’re coming from - something I’ve learned about myself is that I can only exist being me. I suffocate under strict needs of content being produced and therefore I am light on who I partner with and need ample, if not total freedom on what I want to say and do. Regardless of what partnership I may take on, I’m confident I’ll only find me as me - I don’t wish to “be like” any other channel nor do I think I’ll ever want to be. Different or same, I’m sure we will overlap in some ways. But there will only be one version of the Clara Kim you see here on this channel… and I guess the Earth :-)
I bet it will, with all that nasty tar and PU stuff on it. 😕 I varnished my birdhouse years ago with a water-based wood stain, and it's held up pretty well (northern Europe).
@@ClarasWoodshop The stain is from a company called “Akzo Nobel” and the product should translate as something like “Xyladecor Wood Protection Stain Plus”. I applied two or three coats, I can't remember exactly. I doubt it's available in the States as I checked on Amazon. The company is based in Cologne, Germany. I wanted to use something less toxic so the animals wouldn't be harmed unnecessarily if they were to gnaw on the wood. To ensure this even better, I later treated a squirrel feeder and a hedgehog hotel with a real ecological product from a company called "Auro". They have colored glazes and I applied three coats. The durability will now have to be seen over the next few years. As you can see, I try to be careful with nature. That's why I'd be glad if you didn't spray artificial varnishes outside in future, like in the video here.
I haven’t subbed to a new woodworking channel in over 3 years. Not because there’s a shortage of woodworking channels lol. I’m impressed for what it’s worth. Looking forward to future builds.
David! Thank you so much for your feedback! I haven't taken it for granted and can't wait to show more interesting builds in the future ^_^

21:20 Corn is also a fruit
I thought it was a grain 🤔
did you vet the birds moving into this birdhouse you dont want any riff raff messing up that lovely crafted house 10/10
Hahaha, unfortunately, I had to take it back down because I need to build a stronger base to hold it up! At that point, I'll be taking applications 🤣
That’s one hell of a multigenerational birdhouse 👏 You’re going to see the birds start bowing to each other flying in and out if there soon 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 That would be so funny and cute. From the side, I would be giving them a smile of approval if I saw that 😂
And again a beautiful build from a beautiful builder 😉 Thx for sharing 👍
Of course! And thank you for appreciating it! 😁🙌
