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!!!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

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

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

[@Wahnerheide]

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.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

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..

[@Wahnerheide]

@@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.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

@@Wahnerheide good question..when i use the mesh screen i usually add some sticks ans leaves to get it started..

[@ronaldmclain6884]

Good stuff, You get right to building and make it look so easy, Nice job

[@alandavis9596]

very nice

[@Backyardprojectguy]

So sorry my bad..I should have explain in more detail that it is up to the builder to choose the hole size, depending on the type of bird they are trying to get. But thanks for the comment I appreciate that..Will do better on the next one..

Wren, nuthatch and chickadee per USDA 1-1/8” hole 1” from top. www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail//?cid=nrcs142p2_008678

[@majaber1]

I seem to have missed the dimensions for back and bottom? Thanks for posting Ken.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

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..

[@pauloroarty1799]

Thank you Ken that was great to see.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Good to hear..Thanks for the comment and Good Luck with your projects..We have had a lot of fun with the birdhouses..

[@barbburke4636]

nice little project....

[@hildtonmcconnell5626]

good video, I always left my bird house looking natural, birds not always used them wright away or took a year or so , I did a corner 3 post 90% in front of my house 2 end poles were 10 ' so 7 ' above ground so decided to put bird house on them instead of cutting them the posts were bright yellow so painted the bird houses red just to look nice the very next day had swallows in them. I did some research and found out that birds do like bright colored houses. Having such good luck I am going to put a lot more up, Have 3 acres so will have fun with them, and hope to keep the bugs down.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

WOW.. That sounds so cool..Sounds like you have a great situation on hand..I think you will enjoy the swallows, they love the community setting. Protection in numbers..Good luck with your project..Like to hear more as the babies come...Thanks for sharing the comment

[@Backyardprojectguy]

For the wrens I would go with one inch and half

[@davidburgess741]

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.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Sounds like a fun time and many adjustment to the project..I Like them

[@emmadalrymple4102]

Love the idea of scoring the wood just under the front hole, so the birds have something to cling onto!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Thanks..I'm calling it a Bird Ladder!!!!

[@lorenelkin9415]

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.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

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..

[@davidg.5076]

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 ".

[@Backyardprojectguy]

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.

[@mickeyfry7689]

nice project

[@cliffjamesmusic]

Great stuff. Thanks. As you point out, you don’t necessarily need a bench saw or circular saw. A couple of additional points: - some people (me included, with some boxes) add a perching pole on the outside just below the hole. It makes it easier for the parent birds to feed the young. However, it can make the occupants vulnerable to predator birds if the hole is too big - if the box is on a house wall, you may need to consider the roof direction, if you need to minimise the risk of water ingress.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Yes!!.. Great Info on your comment, important stuff..Thanks for sharing that..I appreciate that..Now lets go make some saw Dust!!

[@Vinterfrid]

I agree - except for the perch. The birds do not need them in any way - they can feed the young just as good without a perch. So skip it!
