Nice birdhouse.
Thank you
Thanks
Were you at Arts in the Park last year?
I wasn't. I had though about going or maybe selling my little houses on consignment in town.
Wow, thanks I have been wanting to make one for a while ! Easy Perez’s thanks

Cool project, but the camera work was brutal. I needed a Dramamine afterward.
Great job thanks
Thank you. I enjoy making these.
Really good idea! Thanks!

Thanks for watching.
Great vidio.
Very cool. As much as we and our neighbors enjoy hummingbirds, I think this is something I will try on my lathe today. Well done brother. Peace to you from south Louisiana
Thank you 😊

We have had hummingbirds in our yard for a decade and have never seen them use any bird house. The nests are very small and they look for good hiding places. Last year one must have dropped out of a tree onto my driveway, empty. These humming bird nesting boxes will look pretty in a yard, but doubtful to attract a hummingbird unless you can get it way up in a tree.
If you expect a hummer to actually use this you should have used 3 small screwa to hold the REMOVEABLE plug for cleaning. Also most hummer houses do not use a perch since the birds tend to land in the "doorway".
Well! Yes, on the product; well done; very interesting, very nice!
However; some of the handy-craft skills in the way that you work, are a big bit scary ... !
In the way that you use two separate drills; if you were to slip; and in both cases, the drill bits are under pressure (once the slip starts; you would not be able to stop it, it will happen so quick) ... the drill bit will go right through your hand ... !!!
Especially that 'forstner' bit; that will rip your hand to pieces ... !
That will mess up your wood turning for a very long time ... !
Sorry! I'm not being disrespectful to you, or your work ... very nice ... !
Your wood turning skill sets need to be a lot safer ... FOR YOU!
Best wishes (I mean that!)

Thank you. Yes I no longer do it that way. Haven't had any mishaps but I don't take the chances any more. Thanks for watching and for the respectful response. Stay safe.😃
Please put your camera on a tripod. I couldn't appreciate your turning due to the movement of the camera.
I do use a tripod now. I didn't in this video. Thanks for watching
While that is very cute, it is completely useless for hummingbirds as a home/nest because hummingbirds do not use birdhouses. However they will use the perch as long as it is at least 8-10 feet high as a safe resting place. Hummingbirds only use their own nests. That said it is very cute and I could see folks buying them for the decor in their yard. If they are very lucky a hummingbird may stop and rest on the perch from time to time but will not actually use the house. Still a very nice job of turning it. :)
What wood type do you usually use for these?
I use all kinds of different wood. Mostly western cedar. It seems to hold up a lot longer.
Loved the idea.
If this was used by humming birds the nest would have to be removed at the end of the season or the next season they won't reuse it.
So instead of glueing the bottom in perhaps turn a plug and pin it in? Just a thought.
Anyhow. Great work!
These are just ornamental and cannot be used by hummingbirds. We call them hummingbird houses because they are tiny.
@@tj5153 I like the concept and your version very much.
I'm retired & turn myself but don't sell my work so it's projects like this that I know my wife or kids will love.
Thanks again.
The camera person needs to hold still.
More videos coming. Like and subscribe. Thanks
What size was the Forster bit you used to hollow the inside out?
I used a 1 inch and 3/8ths for hollowing the inside.
1inch 3/4
Do hummingbirds actually use them or are they just tiny works of art for viewer appreciation?
I don't think they use them. But it gives them an option for nesting. They make a great gift and decor for your yard. Easy and enjoyable to make. I sell lots of them on eBay.
@@robertboycewoodturningn.c.7838 They are cute... nicely done!
About how much you sell for
I sell for 18.99 on eBay. Usually 20 to 25 of them a week.
who ever is doing the filming PLEASE Stand still you are making me dizzie
