    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.
    I have several other cool woodworking projects table saw jigs and scrap wood projects like this on the rest of my channel and on my website. howidothingsdiy.com/plans/ols...

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

    • @HowIDoThingsDIY
      @HowIDoThingsDIY  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well, it can be tough and dangerous, especially on a jobsite table saw. I would actually recommend using a circular saw with a straight guide or even better a tracksaw. th-cam.com/video/00wXEfpjs04/w-d-xo.html

      Ok, I got you. The key is to have good support. An outfeed table would be ideal, but I've also moved my saw so I could use my workbench as temporary outfeed table. I've also used a Kreg rip cut. It's actually pretty good for what you're describing. amzn.to/3JLfVzQ

      No problem. Anytime you're trying to remove a small strip from a large piece of sheet stock, it can be very dangerous. Be careful!

    Just looked up the oil you used its $65 for 9 ounces might want to retitle the video $3-$100 bird feeder

      @HowIDoThingsDIY  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ha. Sorry. You don't need to use that oil or any oil for that matter. That was just an extra step I took. I'm sure there are cheaper options that would also be safe for the birds. You may be able to get the oil locally and save money.

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

    • @CraftedbyRay

      Now the birdhouse people say that the perch is a bad idea because bigger birds can use it to eat the baby's
