You are well detailed in your instructions, which truly makes this a simple and easy project.Thanks for sharing it.
Good detail ken, thanks for showing us this..
Hello Bird Friend,
Superb work done for our Winged Friends.
However, a little advice;
- Drill ventilation holes at the bottom at the four cardinal corners and one in the center to avoid humidity and mold which could decimate a partial or total nesting.
- For a single sloping roof, always leave an offset on each side of the nest, in case of rain and wind the sides will not rot.
- Linseed oil heated in a bain-marie for exterior protection to be repeated each year, the interior remains natural, doing nothing.
Good continuation to you the Friend, Sincerely Alain from Belgium.
Thank you my flying wings friend..Funny you should talk about the air flow...I have started using a mesh screen for the floors and its working great..Love the idea of linseed oil. I have use plenty of it in my shop but never used it there..Great ideas..Thanks for the comments, always appreciate good ideas to make us all better..
@@Backyardprojectguy, Hello my friend,
Yes linseed oil is a natural product and once on the wood it protects well, obviously to redo the operation every year, I have been using the nest for 10 years, but for the spring of 2024 a new nest will be put in in place, for the mesh screen you are not afraid that the birds will take the middle fingers and nails in the holes?.
Sincerely Alain from Belgium.
@@Wahnerheide good question..when i use the mesh screen i usually add some sticks ans leaves to get it started..
cool project well done..nice out come
Simple enough for me to understand..nice job
Great easy project, I should do it! 😎 ~Mav
I Really Enjoyed This Vedoe And What A Cool Guy!!

Simple is always the best......Nice project
Nice video..what an easy project..
nice job with this
Great DIY project...I liked..
super easy project nice ..I see your channel has other videos on building birds house.. I also like the Log Cabin Bird cabin..very clever
Nice, simple, and easy to do project. I have that same Ryobi nailer, along with about a dozen other Ryobi tools, including the compound miter saw, and table saw. It makes projects like this easy, fun to do!!!
Love those tools!!!..When you have the correct tools it makes the job or the project so much easier....Sometimes I feel using the tools is half the fun..Using all the tools to shape something is a Great feeling,,stay safe
Awesome. Thanks for sharing my friend 🎆🎆🎆👍👍
I did this and you had great instructions..thank you..I plan to make several more.
I love that you thought about how the birds will use it inside! 🐦
Always try to think of then next step..sometimes I forget the simple things when trying to improve things..
I saw your other video on Bird houses..You sure do have a lot of them..Thanks for sharing..some day I will try to build these..
Been bored in quarantine decided im going to make this it has been pretty cool and good project!
You will get a lot more enjoyment out of it when you hang it and get a family in it..Its fun to watch...Enjoy your projects.
@@Backyardprojectguy thanks it was so cool watching all the little birds grow up and fly off. 👍❤️🐣🐥🦉

Good stuff, straight forward and to the point
I saw your other bird house video, and they are all good..thanks for doing this and helping mother nature
This is the content I live for. You’re doing awesome dude!
thanks..and enjoy your project...Lets go make some saw dust!!!
very nice simple project...and it looks good..
Easy and simple just like you said it. Nice
i figured I catch up on the last video you uploaded. Love it. Full view and nice like.
I did it for the Hobby guys and weekend warriors..I figure the Master carpenters don't need this..It was fun,,
You make this look so easy...thanks I will try this looks like fun
Outstanding job on this...Well done
Wow great video. Nice job
Love it! Gonna make a few of these. Thanks so much!
It is a fun project and the more you make the better you get and new ideas will always pop up...I have add/glue pieces of bark on then to give the a natural look..
Awesome!
Thanks for the comment
Nice easy to make houses. I suggest vents at both the bottom and top. This will provide greater cooling. Correct entrance hole will make your house more attractive for the birds you want.
Well said, I like...Thanks for the comments will adjust going forward, I do feel they are important
This looks like a wonderful and easy project..
Good stuff, You get right to building and make it look so easy, Nice job
Love this man's enthusiasm
Thank you sir...I appreciate that
Hello and good morning
The blue birds here in MA start to look for new home…
Thanks for your video this is what I was looking for! Can please tell us the size of the entrance hole if you can.
Again thank you so much
Very nice, simple plans for a bird house I can easily build with my Grandson. Thank you.
I hope you Have fun with your project....The kids will love it..
Awesome video- great project- I’m all in. Ima build a couple. Thanks so much for these directions. 👏
Good luck with your projects
Well done..well detailed I liked
You are awesome!!! ❤️ your video!!! Easy easy easy!!! I’m going to make a bird house like yours.... thank you 🙏🏻
Its a fun project...and you get to add your own personal ideas..Good luck and remember to have fun doing it..
nice project...well done
Yes, I built one of those. Bore hole before assembly. Made of 1x2s and 1x4s that fell into my lap. 3 inch screws made this into 1x6 nominal. The hole saw hit one of these and lost all its teeth! Chiseled out the rest and de- stroyed the front. Fix was to use a 1x4 with a properly bored hole with a circle cutter. Left very long it allowed the use of used Harbor Freight instant garage poles. Drill the screw holes straight through the 1x4 at 2 points and put the pole behind that. That keeps bigger birds from attacking through the hole and pecking due to the double thickness. Well, we'll see.
Sounds like a fun time and many adjustment to the project..I Like them
really liked ken and his instructions
Thank you..I appreciate that
Awesome video, my five year daughter actually has been asking me for a birdhouse, but I have no wood skills haha. So Home Depot it is haha. Man I really like the one on the right side of the screen. Exquisite!! Love that you thought about grooves to help them stand.
Simple and easy..and let your daughter help..then when you get the babies birds your daughter will think its so cool....here is a Video of the Birds feeding their young..Your daughter might like it..th-cam.com/video/8QSg4hLN9_w/w-d-xo.html
Ken Deininger awesome thanks!! I’ll show her when I get off work today. Thank you again
Bird house looks great thanks I what to build one thanks know good
Thanks for the comments..I hope you have fun building one..Enjoy the project
Awesome share brother and well done !
thanks appreciate that..I really made it for the amateur carpenter or the weekend handyman..Any master carpenter could figure it out pretty quickly..
I had a house wren making a nest in my garage for many years. We have a storage rack next to the garage door and on one of the shelves laying on its side was a 2-gallon green plastic garden watering can (my wife never uses it) that the wren was using. So, I cleaned out the watering can the other day and couldn't believe how much debris was in there, it was literally full of twigs, carpet fibers and other stuff.
While I was cleaning out the watering can, the wren appeared out of the bushes and started making noise. I guess he wanted to use it again this year. There were no eggs in the watering can, I think it is too early in the season for that.
A few years ago, I found 4 or 5 dead baby wrens on the floor of the garage. It looked like they were trying to get out of the garage because they were by the vents near the garage wall on the floor. They were trapped in the garage because the door was closed, probably closed for a couple days. I live in southern California and it gets really hot here and the garage can be an oven. I felt so bad about it.
Anyhow, this prompted me to build a bird house for the wren. I found your video inspiring.
2 questions,
1) I have a bunch of OSB plywood and was thinking of using that, would you recommend that type of wood?
2) Would a 1-1/4" hole be adequate? As that is the only Spade Drill Bit size I own.
Yes the plywood would be fine. Also the inch and a quarter would be fine for the hole size. But I’m not sure what to tell you about the garage door. Keeping it closed for days will mean mom and dad will not be able to feed them. Can you put the new bird nest outside somewhere? Good luck with your project
@@Backyardprojectguyfrom one Ken to another thank you.
I was concerned the wood might be too thin, it is only 3/8 thick which i didn't mention. Most recommend 3/4 thick. I could just double it up that might do.
And yes i was planning on locating the new bird house outside next to a tree beside the garage. There are shrubs surrounding the tree and i bet that is where the wren lives.
I may also build a bird house for the western bluebirds and Northern flickers i feed in my back yard. I will have to purchase more drill bits for that, but hey, I'm retired and have all the time in the world.
From one Ken to another I don’t think the birds care about the thickness of the walls of the birdhouse it may be a construction problem for you trying to nail the sides together and 3/8 inch that’s all the problem I think making the birdhouse for the flicker in the bluebirds cool blue birds are great they’re cool to have around and there’s lots of examples of blue bird houses in the video good luck in your projects hope this helps thanks see ya bye
Love the idea of scoring the wood just under the front hole, so the birds have something to cling onto!
Thanks..I'm calling it a Bird Ladder!!!!
@@Backyardprojectguy yes! very important!
Been wanting to build one of these for a while now. That’s for taking the time to explain it thoroughly. Definitely subscribing.
Its an easy project..get them in the yard and you will enjoy watching the birds....and they also make a great and different gifts for family and friends
Ken Deininger I’m going to definitely build this on Saturday. I’m excited and can’t wait. Thanks for the video.
cool..have fun....then get some bait in the water!!!
Ken, you are amazing, Please keep it up.
Thank you fr the comment, I appreciate it..and I hope you enjoyed it and maybe got you motivated..
Loved your video, this ii something I want my husband and myself to do together, TFS
Great project that you can work on together..and you can add your own personal touch to each bird house....Have fun
I will try it, thanks!😍😍😘
I love your enthusiasm and simple approach to your projects! No clue why viewers did not catch your explanation of hole size? Subscribed and looking forward to many more encouraging videos!
Thank you..I appreciate the comment..
very nice
Great video Ken. First time coming across any of your videos and i must say, it was clear, informative, and most importantly...you seemed to enjoy what you're doing. That goes a long way. Good job!
Thank you so much for the comment, I do appreciate them..(good or Bad!!!)...Enjoy your project.....Now go make some saw Dust!!!
@@Backyardprojectguy what type of staple gun did you use...i am so confused as which to buy...thank you...
@@sherrcon ..I just have a simple hand held staple gun. You can pick then up at any home repair places like Home Depot or Lowes. etc..
@@Backyardprojectguy thank you my friend...i am going to make this with the grandkids...
@@sherrcon Great project to do with the grandkids,,,and you will have more fun when the birds take it as a home and have babies..
fun to watch this again
thanks Ron
The roof should have some latch and lock it doesn't blow off or get knocked off by a predator. I prefer a side opening box, I think it's easier to clean, but otherwise that is the optimal design for efficiency.
The best thing you did was the recessed bottom, keeps the nest much drier.
well said..thanks for the comment
Thank you Ken that was great to see.
Good to hear..Thanks for the comment and Good Luck with your projects..We have had a lot of fun with the birdhouses..
nice build...I will try to build it..
That's great ! So what size do you consider a "medium" hole to be ? Around here it would be 1/1/4 to 1-3/8 ".
Yep I use the 1 3/8 for the hole size..I feel it keeps the sparrows away and the song birds use it more.
good job, going to try it ..thank you sir!
Thank you...Good luck with the project and Enjoy it.....Add some of your personal touch to it and I hope you get hours of enjoyment from it..
I seem to have missed the dimensions for back and bottom? Thanks for posting Ken.
For the bottom I started using screens..It give good air flow and its easy to in stall..Back is two inches taller them the front..This gives you some area to mount the Bird house..Hope this helps you..
Nice little project
Good directions and good video!
Thanks..simple and easy makes it fun..
Good video, though Medium Sized Hole is vague. I think inch and a quarter is suggested in other bird house plans. Any thoughts of hinging the top? Thanks for this.
Inch and a quarter is a Good hole size..It opens it up to lot of birds..Yes I have hinged the tops of some of my bird houses and it works well. Just didn't do this one..
nice project..I like
