If there is enough interest I will make detailed plans available on our website. Hope your garden birds enjoy their new home

[@daveleach4370]

Look foreword to seeing your plans thank you very much

[@3PawCrafts]

Thanks, your the first to ask. But rest assured I'm busy in the background trying to teach myself 3D Cad software to be able to draw up some detailed plans. I will update this post when it's ready

[@clifftracey]

Broski, i love and appreciate everything you went through to make this video. Its very nice of you to show everyone your process.

[@3PawCrafts]

Thank you very much dude

[@bushy13]

I would also be interested in the plans.Nice video, they look beaut log homes for the birds.. I look forward to see the video version using hand tools. Also I will check out the various entrance holes that would suit Australian birds and wildlife.

[@3PawCrafts]

I can only apologise that the plans aren't up yet, working hard to teach myself CAD software to produce good quality plans and hopefully visual aids for future videos. Thanks for your support and good luck with the Aussie birds, just don't make the hole too big or you might get a drop bear hiding in there ;)

[@dalesuggs3658]

[@GaiaTutankhamon]

that's so beautiful!! Thanks for sharing

[@3PawCrafts]

Thanks very much

[@randypenney6413]

Great project.... very detailed explanation of the steps make 😅

[@3PawCrafts]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@bobketteringham4779]

The birdhouse is beautiful, but What about ventilation and drainage holes?

[@3PawCrafts]

Thanks, drainage and air ventilation is handled by the loose fit of the parts in the construction method. They are not machined to be a air tight fit and so there are plenty of small natural gaps

[@bretteverett179]

This is definitely a scrape wood project. It seems to be very time consuming. I cant see a profit coming out of this with the time it would take to make it . Even with the wood being scraps. I value my time way to much i guess. It is a neat project though. May give it a shot just for to have at the house.
Good job on it .

[@3PawCrafts]

You can increase efficiency by batching and making multiple per run, and templating out the cuts like the gable and eaves. And it pairs quite nicely with a lower priced version without all the bevelling to show value. I value my time too, and it's why I choose to make these as part of my business. As I do this full time and I would quickly loose any enthusiasm to do this as a job if I just made the low effort stuff people consider maximum profit in woodworking. It sells alongside my other stuff and helps make my work stand out at a crowded market

[@bobketteringham4779]

It does seem time consuming

[@3PawCrafts]

@@bobketteringham4779 Thanks for your comment, I don't recall mentioning that it's a 5 minute project so not sure where this expectation of it being really quick is coming from. If your referring to profitability drawn from labour time spent then price it accordingly to your local market conditions vs your production line. I intentionally didn't include my pricing as that is drawn from my refinements in my production line and the local markets conditions where I live.

How does the mounting stand attache/work

[@3PawCrafts]

You can see it a bit in first shot of the video. The V shaped prong of the stand screws or nails into the base of the bird house (ensuring the screws/nails don't protrude into the habitation area) with the long back arm screwing into at the top the tree or post your connecting it to. If you live in a windy exposed area you can also use a small chock of wood to pack between the back wall of the house and the mount stand with a screw or nail going through both to add extra strength and ragidity. This should insure that the birdhouse is securely connected to the tree or post you mounting it too while leaving the ability to remove the roof in-between nesting seasons for cleaning. Hope that helps

[@thedbcooperforum]

I like everything except the roofs..appear to be oversized and conflict with the project..

[@3PawCrafts]

Thanks, the roofs are oversized to help protect the bird entrance hole from predators. Harder for a cat to get at them

[@lauriereeb3850]

Realize you might be in a hurry to make a short video, but that bandsaw work on roof parts was definitely NOT a safe way to show everybody how to make these.

[@3PawCrafts]

Thanks for the comment

[@paulbateman5769]

Zzzzzzz

[@Watson1]

Why is the music louder than your voice. Very annoying.

[@3PawCrafts]

Sorry you felt so, I spend a lot of time leveling the audio the best I can with the setup I have. I code my own subtitles as well though for anyone who has trouble hearing
