Free Bird House Plans (Log Cabin). Includes EASY directions and instructions ...

[@tomdaoust]

What I like most about this design is that it is an ideal use of scrap pinewood. All the “logs” are made from small pieces of wood left over from making use of larger projects. I’ve made 5 of these birdhouses and the people receiving them are delighted. The birds love the chimney too. The male birds like to perch on it while they sing their little hearts out, trying to attract a mate.

I made a similar log cabin bird house but I find this design very clean and classy. Thank you so much for sharing. Definitely will make this one next. Happy woodworking.

[@Michigander-girl]

I just finished my log cabin birdhouse using these instructions. It turned out perfect.

[@ameliamcg30]

Love this! Can’t wait to try out your plan myself! Thank you!

[@jamesmccaslin5419]

I made your bird house. I used reclaimed oak, sanded it a little and left it to weather. It really turned out cute. My ten-year-old grandson came over and liked it, so I gave it to him. Well, I wanted one for myself, so I made another. I modified the plans a little. Instead of making the floor in an "H" shape, I just made two more 10-inch wall pieces and put them on the bottoms of the side walls. Then I cut a 5.5" x 8.5" rectangle that just fit into the bottom and glued and nailed it into place. I felt that it made it much easier to fabricate the floor. I rounded the outer edges of the logs with a 1/4-inch router bit and that really gives them the look of logs. I glued everything and put it together with my brad nailer. Along with adding the door and chimney, I added a window to the other side. Thanks for the plans!

Many,many thanks for your great workmanship & video!

[@tomdaoust]

I just made my second log cabin birdhouse using your plan. Huge improvement over the first one. I was smarter this time. Suggestion: Use a nail gun with brads (instead of screws). When drilling the logs in place they invariably moved a tiny bit. When tightening the screw the logs often moved again. With a nail gun I held the logs, with glue applied, in the exact spot I wanted, and BAM!, they were in just the right spot. I also bought some inexpensive stain and applied it to alternating logs and the chimney before assembling the house. It takes some planning, deciding which logs and which surfaces to stain, but it's worth the extra care. I'm delighted with the result. Thanks for sharing. 😃

[@anglingpro]

Hi Tom, do you have a pic of your birdhouse? Would love to see what the stain applied to alternating logs looks like, sounds like that was a good idea! Thanks!

[@tomdaoust]

@@anglingpro Thanks for your interest. I don't see a way to add a pic to a reply here. Are you on Facebook? Friend me on FB. There are too many with your name for me to find you. I am Tom Daoust in Concord, NC.

[@anglingpro]

@@tomdaoust Hi Tom, thanks for the reply! I hate FB, hardly ever go there. Not to worry about the pic, thought it would be nice to see other people's creations though. I have yet to build my own birdhouse, will get round to it someday!

[@brigitte741]

Beautiful log cabin, wish I could make it in big so I could live in it :) :) :)

[@pbamma]

I loved your channel in roughly 7 seconds. :)

[@ericisrael8443]

missing a cut list. strip length would help. love the look of the log cabin bird house.

[@tonylars4128]

Many thanks, been searching for "bird houses building plans" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Daniliana Birdfly Babar - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.

[@luisalfredoacostaurgelles940]

Many thanks, been searching for "fancy birdhouse blueprints" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Daniliana Birdfly Babar - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my brother in law got cool success with it.

[@hewittgordon8843]

There is a cut list on the web site.

[@lipinghe4921]

Awesome! Thanks and GOD bless.

[@jperez8238]

Wow beautiful work

[@williamr6514]

Love the design of the house and ease of building. There are however, a few pieces of information lacking from the plans (if I was a more experienced woodworking I would probably know these things): 1)length of the trim screws; 2) Dimensions of the chimney; 3) How to attach the chimney; 4)What is width and length of board to buy to start with? I think these few bits of information could really help us novices. But I really do like your video and plans.

[@davidmeyer7511]

i do almost the same cabin, but cut long 3/4 x3/4 strips then round them on a router table to make it look like a log before cutting the pieces to length

[@brendenboeglin5517]

I see sawmills have slab wood, and I was wondering what would be efficient to build.

[@ParrySoundTownDock]

Love this

[@MrTinovr]

what I don't see is a materials list? Plan just says 3/4" wood? How many linear feet do I need? How wide? 3/4"x6"x4' or 3/4"x10"x8", or what???

[@tomdaoust]

I can’t find the terrific detailed plans with measurements. The printed copy I have got some water damage. I’d like to print a clean copy. Can you give me a link?

[@ParrySoundTownDock]

Did you get a copy?

[@ronaldlloyd9189]

Awesome video! The 3D presentation at the end looked great

[@vladtyb9487]

Cheers for this, been searching for "plans to build birdhouses" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Daniliana Birdfly Babar - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got amazing success with it.

[@brendamedina9977]

Can you please tell me where I get the plans for this birdhouse?

[@lukeman42]

where can I get the plans

[@hammereisen7493]

Can you open this bird house to clean it inside

[@thomasinterian5537]

Very nice😊😊😊

[@thepinkflamingostrikesagai7319]

He said he had free plans for this birdhouse yet there's no list or connection to get the free plans he just told the three quarters by 3/4 then tell the dimension of the bottom, entrance hole and an access door to get the old nest out wasn't included or the dimensions of the roof pieces. Would have been nice to try to build it but half instructions does nobody any good.

[@tomdaoust]

Very happy with my birdhouse. How do I attach a photo?

[@777tomwall]

I can’t find the instructions

[@tomdaoust]

You used to offer a measured drawing, which I printed and used to make 2 houses using your exact design. I don't see it offered any more. What happened?

[@ParrySoundTownDock]

I would like it too

[@SmoresMarie]

No instructions on how to attach the triangles for the roof.

[@mikebadilla9187]

Thankyou

[@suereid8952]

Where are the plans?????

[@ParrySoundTownDock]

Where can I find the dimensions for this bird house?

[@9999Michigan]

Got all the pieces cut and now realize there's no good way to attach the gable ends to the base. The roof attaches easy enough to the gable ends.... but what holds the gable ends to the house??? Thank you

[@MrTinovr]

appears that you have a few options... you can either simply glue up the walls to the gables, start with the gable pieces and work downward to the bottom, or use a small mending plate

[@spaceman1981ad]

Thanks, Bill. I built this birdhouse, and it looks good but wasn't that hard to do. I stained the roof, door, and chimney different colors than the logs, and the contrast is nice. I learned that if the logs are not exactly square (mine were not), you have to ensure you orient them all the same way when you put them together, otherwise you'll end up with gaps between some of the logs. Question: I saw your notes on where to hang birdhouses; wherever they are placed, should they always be hard-mounted, or could they be suspended from above by a single tether?

[@tomdaoust]

@@thebirdman2705 I think I will try your idea of rounding the edges of the logs a bit. That will throw a bit of a shadow to further emphasize the individual logs. I stained alternate logs to make the logs stand out more. Also, read my comment on using a nail gun to assemble. Thanks for the idea.

[@wepl]

Can someone help me with the lumber dimensions needed? I'm new to woodworking and I don't know which dimensions are needed to make thing.

[@ProyectoInnovador-hy6dw]

This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "build a simple birdhouse" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Daniliana Birdfly Babar - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my neighbour got great success with it.

[@john8714]

where are the plans

[@bobbyblade843]

cut all the lengths as stated when i was assembling had six short lengths left which fitted nowhere

[@ronaldschaal7041]

How do you clean the old nest out. I see no access .

[@desktorp]

make sure no birds are home and set the place on fire, then the birds get a fat pay out from their bird house insurance.. then build another one.

[@jimgriffin9068]

Sorry after the video it shows it thanks

[@gediminasmockevicius5994]

Ačiū - Lt

[@Jadvale]

Did I miss it, or is there no way to clean out the house?

[@billrosener]

There are 4 screws holding the roof that can be removed to clean out the bird house.

[@Jadvale]

@@billrosener Kinda what I had presumed. Thanks for the reply. Great job, BTW. Definitely on my short list.

[@jimgriffin9068]

Could you give the sizes of the wood sides and roof ?

[@lloydbannister8062]

Yeah I don’t see no plans bud but good videos

[@macdaddy5802]

Where’s the plans 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@davehealey5004]

I couldn't find them either

[@mikemelchior3608]

Why don't you silence the music why you talk.

[@joshwenger]

I don't see any measurement

[@johnveglio4433]

I would like your videos more if you ACTUALLY put the project together and not just explain how it's done !!!!!

[@bestplayerofalltime105]

Your supposed to make it yourself goofy

[@Boom-oq5yj]

Yikes, you didn't specify the length of the strips at 0:33. "next size and next size". ?

[@mokedokie]

Unfortunately, another beautiful bird house that is not a good plan for eggs or chicks. The hole is too big for small birds (1 1/2"-1 5/8'), there is inadequate ventilation which means eggs and chicks can over heat, there is no floor drainage, no access door for cleaning, never use perches, bird boxes should be tall so predators can't reach in, all bird boxes should have predator blocks. A beautiful project, but just not good for eggs or chicks.
