"Stop making videos and throw this ball!" Is there drainage?

Well done connor! Xx

They appear calm, can you feel if their heartbeat's are racing?

Not a good year.

Good lad - there's the future right there

Lovely to see the pied flys doing good around your end though! Been trying to encourage them at my neck for a few yeras but to no avail. Keep up the great work!

<3<3<3

Soo pretty <3

great video, keep up the amazing work, I love wild birds so I always try and help them in anyway I can :)

The metal plates are widely available on Etsy and Ebay, made in the UK, I will add if they can get into wood, they can get through the soft sign plastic. Only acrylic of a reasonable thickness will stand up to it.

Thank you

A guy gave me dozens of metal plates with holes of 25, 28 and 32mm I found that far easier for me than your method! Have you ever had a robin nest in a kettle? I've had a wren in a boot. I have a robin in my shed at the moment which means I don't have access to it.

1 inch weld mesh around the sides and front works a treat

Nice work - I just noticed this morning that I posted a comment with a link to a charity pot to support community charities etc. through B&Q the comments gone so I'm wondering if it was taken down by KZbin anyway hope it helps as I know 18mm ply is not cheap I've just spent an hour sourcing some and feel like I need a cup of tea - it's ones of those jobs today 😮‍💨

You would have done the same Nikolas. Did you have any returned Pied Fly after.

Thank you for doing that <3

Shame you can't persuade the grey squirrels to stop their shennanigans.

What make of Makita is the chop saw?

What do you need mate

Hello. Could you do a video on how you make the metal hole plates, please?

AS much as I love the cheeky antics of Grey Squirrels that would be a travesty if they got to those eggs. I know others will say its just nature but still I'm glad your adding some prevention to help the birds out

When I started making nest boxes I believe we were advised to use 9mm ply, nowadays RSPB and BTO would suggest 18mm plywood, and maybe marine plywood at that. That's not cheap. I did a local event where I got free wood from EH Smith and we made quite a few boxes with the community. I've made some woodcrete boxes that have been succesful, had a nuthatch in one of them. Fun, if tricky, to make. No joy with batboxes and owl boxes just had squirrels.

We want to see the dog take a walk, not you drinking tea 😂

Little doggie wants to go for a walk right now. You can warm up your tea and drink it later

Love your builds - as you know I make a few bird boxes in my job role and I'm just trying out the idea of adding an extra 2 or 3mm to the length of the sides and front plate to try and create a drip point to keep the rain flowing off the boxes as quickly as possible I've only made 1 of these so far as it was literally yesterday I came up with the idea and gave it a go. I thought it might be something you could use on your future boxes.

Thank you so much for the guide! I'll definitely try making some of those for next year. Never had a Redstart in my boxes but I know they are present in my area

I got this impact driver as part of a package with the hammer drill dcd805 and both tools are beast, but the dcf850 is in a league of its own same power than other drivers double its size.

Build it - and they will come - same for birds as people alike! :)

brilliant - I love Robin's there such a beautiful bird and we get a few in our garden we're also very lucky to see a pair of woodpeckers and various other birds including the old but never dull favourite, the blue tit and the coal tit which we're fortunate enough to have nest in our garden - I currently have 3 tit boxes and a robin box in the garden so plenty of room for guests

Living in the west of Ireland. Was working on a job and watched a bird flying round an open barn which was acting like a flycatcher as i have seen them abroad in warmer climates. Looked it up and yes was a spotted flycatcher. Found out they are not so rare. Thanks for showing this video. They were nesting in the barn but might tell the client to make a box as well

That's a lovely finish and so so quick with a roller too 👍

Wish they would plummet - would be nice as I line the stables with them but the horses eat, kick, bash and knock them for fun! Love the masonry paint idea though :)

So cute

Ahhh but - those eyes ........

This dog has a lot of energy!

Can't wait to see some updates from your boxes with many Redstart and Flycatcher nests

love this build and your projects - In my day job I'm a restorative justice support worker and one of the elements I teach is basic woodworking/making (so I basically get paid to teach my hobby) which is where the birdbox and hedgehog house and planter projects come from. All the boxes are built with basic range of hand tools to show the guys and girls you can do a lot with a tenon saw, coping saw, pencil, tape measure, cordless drill, a screwdriver, a very basic nail/stapling gun, 3 chisels, a combination square, a 25 and 32mm hole cutter, a lot of elbow grease and a pinch of hope. the finished boxes are then donated to local charities to use or re-sell to raise funds. An other element to it as well is so many people decide their going to try DIY buy a load of expensive tools decide DIY isn't for them and these tools end up in a corner gathering dust so I always advise start with a budget kit if you like the hobby then replace when you can afford to with better kit.

Y eso que???

Nice work 👍- and I've just subscribed to your channel - just a suggestion for your finish I use Cuprinol one coat fence paint for my boxes and generally use two as it's never 1 coat and 5 coats if one of my learners decides to stir it first which is a whole different story 😂anyway Cuprinol one coat fence paint is animal friendly and blends well in to garden surroundings etc

Nice job, your mic could've been a little louder

i have 2 springers and i love woodwork and building bird boxes and bird tables etc

Nice looking workshop pal👍

Hes beautiful

Its more tidy than my workshop, I repair golf clubs, I wouldn't think of doing a workshop walk through at the moment. Maybe time for a tidy.

I will email you today with my contact details

Looking good Rich
