-viewer submitted project is what we are up to today. New to me but fun nonetheless todays project is a B+B ...bees and bugs hotel,condo,house.I used a lot of recycled materials to build this and collected a bunch of natural materials to fill it. Bugs or not i think it turned out pretty good and makes a nice garden ornament as is
Love the workshop
Wow, what a sweet interesting productive video. The critters will love their new home.
That was awesome Doug, thanks a lot l truly enjoyed it! 👍👍👍💯💯💯
Can’t wait to see that follow up
Fantastic!
Doug awesome project👍👍👍
Love it
That is very cool 👍👍 Thanks Doug and God bless ✌️
Be a great sidedrop for a coffee and whittle come spring. Very cool
Beautiful!
Good morning Doug ! Very Nice , Great Rustic House. Love to see more. 👍👍😊
“I may have overdone it” 😂
I love that your chop saw is on a old sewing machine stand.
Very, very cool!! Very nice Doug!
Great project thanks Doug
What a great video!!! You look happiest making stuff!!!
That looked really fun thanks for sharing Doug God Bless yall stay safe
This is so cool
Wow Doug, that's beautiful... I would put that inside my house for decor. A craft store would sell that for a pretty penny. (I also like the nail gun.)
B🐝,B🦋&B🐞 Linker Hotel.... great job!
Loved to see you have fun with this - hang the time - it's worth every second. Thanks Doug - and Jim for the inspiration
Great job Doug I enjoyed watching the video
Oh I love it. And your video’s keep up the great content Doug.
To make an antiqueing stain for new wood, place a sheet (12×12 or so) aluminium foil soaked in white vinegar until it dissolves. Brush it over new wood. Turns it gray and old looking immediately. I have no idea why, but it works very well.
Steel wool works too but i think it goes more black
Nice craftsmanship!
Keep up the great work
Oh man, you got me all excited to start watching videos on carving Tree Bark...
Always something interesting on Doug's channel 👏👍
I love that you re-purposed that great old window, wood and tin. You see promise in things others toss. I bet you scope out all the curbs on trash day lol
Pretty dang great project, Doug. It looks stunning.
I am 100 % positive the bugs, butterflies and other insects will love their bug hotel.
Might be a 5 star if not a 7 star hotel...for sure. ;)
Thank you for taking us along. I did really enjoy watching it. Have a great weekend.
Cheers from Germany.
Liked that project. You did a great job building it. It'll be interesting see to what takes up residence. Have a great day.
Doug, that is a work of art. hope you get lots of insects to take up residents.
I have been building bee houses for solitary bees for over 12 years now, and use a 5/16" brad point bit to get a very clean hole. The bees will not nest in a hole that is not smooth.
My bee houses are for the Osmia lignaria. They are the best pollinator of fruit trees.
Love your videos, so fun! Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.
I may be having a go :) cheers Doug
Awesome take on the idea sir. Made the 'mistake' of showing my wife (I think she is a a type of squirrel since she loves collecting acorns) so I can see a smaller version with acorns, chestnuts, pinecones - thank you for providing the inspiration and guidance on how to get it done. The content you share helps bring a little peace in the world we live in. Thank you for taking the time to film and edit and everything else it takes to put out content.
To true my wife is the same way
Thanks for starting my day on a fun and happy note.
You put a smile on my face and gave me an urge to
get up and get moving. Thanks for sharing your energy,
imagination and drive. Enjoy your day.
Daughter and I really enjoyed this build. Hope you make more fun build videos like this based on user submitted ideas. Cheers.
Looks great. And goodmorning from missouri.
Very interesting project. Thanks.
Loved every minute! So unique! AWESOME!
Any bug or bee should be beeyond excited to stay there. Yours looks like a 5 star establishment :)
The only time I've seen the Bug Hotels were in videos or movies from the UK and generally placed in or around the garden.
14:15, you throw nothing away, good for you!
You are such a talent .. awesome loved every minute of this video .
Cool project !!!!
Cool project Doug
As always enjoyed the video but more importantly you have also given me a project I can do with my granddaughter thanks Doug for sharing and to Jim who sent the it to you ❤️✌🏼
So neat. I have been wanting to make or buy one but. That’s beyond me. I totally enjoyed watch this.
That’s fantastic!!!! Way to go!!!
❤️👍🏻🙏🏻❤️
Love it.i think in my yard it would become the first ever spider feeder. Lol
River rat,
I Love it for a Spider House!
I love this Doug, it’s such a nice piece 🐛🦋🐝🐞
Great idea and beautiful job! I would love to have one of these......
Really like this type of video, good job.
Way cool 👍
just great
You have really stepped up your game. I have never seen anyone work so fast. and wow, your carvings are really coming to life. I would swear I saw that caterpillar move. Seriously, though. This is gorgeous, and I love your take on it. I can't wait to see how it's doing in a year or so, and if the butterflies will use it. Thanks so much for sharing.
Cool project as usual Doug. I would like to see a short video or a few pictures later when you have guest living there.
Yay! My dad got picked!
he is also my dad (thanks 😄)
💖💖💖 You have a cool dad!
Well done Doug! We have one,, but that is 1/10 that size. 👍😁
That turned out excellent.
That is so kind, lm sure every tiny bug will appreciate it, its a lovely job too
That is Bob on. Love re-using stuff that is scrap to other people. Man after my own heart. No fancy sawdust extraction, just need a dustpan and brush! I wish I had as much room as you have. I seem to have timber and bits of doors with hinges attached in the way. Yesterday I spent an hour (3!) sorting through some hardwood pallet wood that was on top the table saw. Time to make that bee/ bug hôtel 👌🍀
Well made Doug. 👌
Wow! So cool!
Love it, I've been meaning to do one too, that looks great. I have a ton of bamboo plant stakes I was going to cut up to stack with ends out, pre-drilled holes!
Using the window really makes the whole project. Very cool. Congrat's on passing 175k subscribers.
🥰 That is absolutely beautiful! What a great idea. 👏👍 Thanks to you and the viewer that suggested it.
Love the sewing machine stand for the miter saw. Never would have thought to use that. I bet its sturdy as heck.
Pretty cool!
Respekt gospodine za urađen posao. Kreativno, pedantno, korisno. Svaka čast.
Bloody marvelous, Doug. You made it sound easy to make.
I really enjoyed this. Fun to watch and little practical tips along the way that can be used for a wide variety of projects.
Looks great, what a good thing to have around the garden.
0:26, Best time of the year my amigo!
Awesome work Doug, I'm glad you liked the link I sent you. Thanks for sharing.
thanks Jim! it was a fun one
Nice choice, Jim - Thanks for sending it to Doug. Did you make one yourself?
No Kazm, I haven't but maybe now I will have to make my own version.
Oh my goodness!! I would put that in the living room! You are such an artist!
That is pretty cool ! 👍
Love watching you work and always learn something new❣️
It came out super nice🕷🕸🐛❗️
Wow! I love it! Even though I don't care for bee or bugs, it would be nice just to watch to see what happens. Good job, Doug! I think I like your high rise better!
Thanks for the tips. I'm going to make an attempt at building my own soon, hope it's as good as that one. I love that when Doug goes for supplies, he just simply walks out his back door into the wilderness. Great stuff.
This was a great project video to watch. I love the idea and it looks really beautiful! I have a small bee house that my daughter made in school and it gets alot of interesting activity. 👍👍
Morning Doug
I like it
You took mini house seriously. 😀 looked good👍🏚
Nice work!;)
Turned out great, I love it. It actually is a piece of Art. You do have that eye for creativity.
All that work without a single cup of coffee!! If you can't go camping with the bugs invite the bugs to come to you. Do an overnighter under the new bug house to speed the move in🐝🦟🐜🕷🐳😲
Best Bug Motel I've ever seen. Super job!
Great video Doug. Always something to learn from you, and be entertained while you learn it. Thanks for the time you dedicate to sharing your knowledge.
Doug, what a great video. You have a great man shed too. I really enjoyed watching the motel came alive.
Nice Doug! When I was working for the US Forest Service in South Dakota I helped our botanist build some of these pollinator motels. Great to see others doing them. Cheers!
You did a fantastic job transforming that old window into an awesome bug habitat!👍
Good piece mate. I have a similar piece in Australia. We have to watch out for invasive mud wasps. We have 17,000 species of native bees. Our largest is the solitary Blue Banded Bee.
Great idea Doug! Saw something like that in a craft magazine a while back; it was only 10" X 12".
Fabulous take on the idea. Would love to see more like this. Thanks for the wonderful and varied content.
Great one Doug . You always look like you are having fun with your emagination. Keep up the good work.
A 5 star B&B for bugs Brilliant
Ok, that is flippin' awesome! LOVE IT!! You're a Master!
I haven't got the first clue about woodwork or crafting but I really enjoy watching your videos. Who knows, maybe one day i'll have a go :)
Also, where you live looks absolutely beautiful!
I could watch Doug’s videos all day! Especially the carving tutorials!
I loved this build, Doug. Super!!
That looks like a great project to do with my kids, I’ll use it as an at home science project during this hybrid learning time! Thanks for sharing!
