Lathe: amzn.to/2yq4bMI
Wood turning tools set: amzn.to/2pH5K59
Forstner bit set: amzn.to/2A5NPLq
Caliper set: amzn.to/2K0X8mF

#woodturning #birdhouse
hello friends greetings healthy and successful always. thank you for sharing knowledge and always faithfully watching your latest things @❤
Thank you my friend
Ты вернул скворечник!)
You returned the birdhouse!
Good job!
Thank you
Very nice Dimitri, I have made a decorative one; smaller than my fist but you have inspired me to make one bigger that a bird can actually use as a nesting box. Thank you
thank you Peter
Such a nice build! I hope to try it myself soon. One thought...did you know that putting a little stick on the front of a birdhouse can let predatory birds steal eggs from the nicer, more musical ones?
πολυ ομορφο δημητρη και ωραια δουλεια απο μερος σου ... μπραβο
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ
Very nice what a great project!
Thank you very much Carl
That’s gorgeous!
Thank you
It looks really great 👍👍😉
Thank you very much
Preciosa... Es la caseta de pájaros más bonita que he visto jamás. Te felicito.
That was lovely, Dimitri. I enjoyed watching it very much. I hope you get a bird to come and build a nest in there in the spring.
Thank you. I hope so too
Starling Chicks will get seasick. GooD)))))))
lol, thanks
Nice form and well turned. But how will you open it for cleaning?
You are an awesome artist.

Now there must be happy birds in your neighborhood;)
I hope so
Turned out very nice!

Beautiful project. Another wonderful wooden work and a nice inspiration for my workshop. Dear greetings from Germany from Andy
Well that was satisfying😊
thank you
nice mate!!
Thank you
Amazing! ♥
thank you
Krásná práce 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If this is a bird house that is meant for a real bird, how does the bird catch up to the swinging thing in the wind ? Looks nice..
Идея отличная. Но есть и минусы: леток находится очень низко. По поводу обработки древесины предлагаю посмотреть видео "Токарь-надомник" Возможно такое видео в дальнейшем поможет в работе. Удачи!
Thank you, I will check it out
Birdhouses are species specific. You can find online what type of bird will nest in what size of a birdhouse. Keep these things in mind when planning your birdhouse. Either make the roof or turn the bottom to be removable. Birdhouses must be cleaned out yearly. Plenty of ventilation!! Drill vent holes in the bottom and just below where your roof connection stops. Eliminate the perch. A place to land is just what predatory birds need to be able to kill and eat the young. I have found that a birdhouse swaying in the wind is not the desirable place to nest. If possible, I would choose a solid and accessible mounting spot. Happy Birding!!
Would you have made the barrel the same style if you did not have your new Hook Tool? Is there another tool you would have used? Very nice job indeed! Much appreciated for sharing.
I would have used a bowl gouge as much as I could reach and then finish it with a scraper! But I really don't have another proper tool for deep hollowing!
simple enough but how do you clean it out each year?
Wonderful job. Really entertaining from chain saw to hot air gun! Excellent work with the skew chisel - are you using it as a scraper near the end there? Very brave! Great vid mate.
Thanks Mark! I use the skew mostly to remove material fast and clean. No this is not a scraping cut. I think it is called a pealing cut but I am not really sure! I use it sometimes as a scraper, like in the part where I make the dovetailed tenon!
Good job,,, I miss my lathe. ..
Will there ever be a reason to open it, to clean the onside?
Thanks for sharing your videos.
Thank you! If I have to open I guess I'll have to unglue it! I could create a threaded cap but I thought it wasn't necessary! This will probably last for about 2 seasons outside!
I was thinking that a couple of small screws from the sides, under the rim, would do it.
Thanks for the reply.
It is still a good job...😆
exelente
thank you
What did you end up spraying on your birdhouse to make it shiny?
Long time no see. Just wanna know are there any birds enter this wonderful bird house?
Not yet! I’ll check again in a couple of months
Looks like an acorn way cool
Thank you
What sort of finish did you use?
Well done, good job, but isn't the varnish toxic for birds ?
It is water based varnish! But to be honest I am not sure!
If it's water based, I suppose it's not toxic, anyway, as usual, very interesting video. Cheers from France...
Από τα ωραιότερα που έχεις φτιάξει με τόρνο . !!!!!!!!!!!!! Θα ήθελα επίσης να ρωτήσω πριν βάλεις τον κορμό στον τόρνο θα μπορούσες να το " ξεφαρδίσεις " πρώτα με ένα μαχαίρι ξύλου ;
Ευχαριστώ Κατερίνα! Ναι θα μπορούσα αλλά ο τόρνος είναι πιο γρήγορος
Need ventilation and drain hole
Pretty house
looks great. have you had any tenets since hanging it up?
How are you going to clean it out each year? Or is it just for decoration?
I won't!
Ha. I just watched Tony Meadley make one this very second
Lol although I don’t know the guy
Wow, thats alot of material removal, cleanup must of been a bitch!
That being said wonderous work you're undertaking.
Anyone knows why the chisel sometimes gets stuck/bites in the wood and stops the rotation of the workpiece completely? I've had this problem a few times as well. I use a similarly shaped chisel. Thanks!
Checked out the Tiny url, but it dont give sizes, interiors, exteriors, heights etc.
Doesnt really matter, a birdhouse is a birdhouse.
Good vid.
Πολυ καλο!!!θα ηθελα να σε ρωτησω κατι ,αν ξερεις να μου πεις.θελω να κατασκευασω ενα ξυλο κοπης κρεατος απο κομματια .Τι κολλα να βαλω:Κανει αυτη η ασπρη του ξυλου:Εχει καποια ειδικη:Μην παθουμε καμια δηλητηριαση....
Nobody at 3am:
Me at 3 am: I need a bird to build my new birdhouse
Можно позже снять видео или фото выложить когда птички поселятся?
It would have been good to see a bird coming in...
Why did you stop commentarys?
It was too much extra work and not everybody seemed to like it
Hallowing tools isn't on your list
Yes, I added what I could find on Amazon.
No face mask, no dust protection.
Not a healthy way to turn or safe.
Perch is bad for houses.
So, it cant be cleaned and disinfected, it is a one use item and so useless. But it kooks nice.
