    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

    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.

    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 👌🍀

    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.

    @nigeljohnson4880 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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.

    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🐝🦟🐜🕷🐳😲

    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.

  • @radagast6682
    @radagast6682 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    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.

    Great job. Very decorative. We have a little one with bamboos sticks we got from Costco. The first summer we had so many tiny little wild bees it was fantastic. And they don’t sting. We now need to redo the house as it is falling apart. Will borrow your ideas and add on to ours. So thanks.
