Nice birdhouse buddy

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Summers Woodworking Thanks Brian, Appreciate you watching

[@richardvedder776]

Looked up several articles on birds and found that hummingbirds absolutely don't nest in enclosures, only in open nests. But these are very cute decorative items and obviously people love them.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

You’re correct this is not intended for hummingbirds this is more for my turning skills and for home decor but thank you so much for the information and for watching the video, all the best

[@Petlover10000]

It is very nice house, do they really use it?

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

They do not use birdhouses, but this was a great turning exercise and it looks small enough for a Hummingbird. Thus the name more of a decorative piece I’m training on the lathe, thanks so much for watching, and your kindness

[@jarmstrong2843]

I may be wrong on this, but based on my understanding, humming birds do not use bird houses and prefer their own nests. They are not cavity dwellers like many other birds. I have many humming birds in my yard and have yet to see them even remotely attracted to the numerous bird houses i have in my back yard. But, they sure like the feeders I put out.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

It was a decoration piece for indoors, humming birds don't have bird houses but it was a little project that fit the size i was looking for, Thanks so much for the feed back , much appreciated

[@dorothyshaffer9718]

Just to cute !!! 😉

That's cool neighbor. Let me know if they use it, we had around 20 hummers last year. Only 3 so far this year. The warden says hey!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

I dont think they nest but it was cool to turn, and looks great as deco on the porch

[@KENMCCRORIE]

@@SterlingsWoodcrafts I didnt want to bust your bubble, but they dont use nest boxes. But hey, it looks darn good!

Nice project! Hummingbirds don't do houses though! They build in crook of branches or high, sheltered platform areas!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

oldschooldiy You are correct this is just novelty and practicing turning but thank you for watching appreciate the feedback all the best

[@Jeffreykum]

What did you use for Foster bits in inches ?

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

3/4 but you can make it what ever size you want , Depending on the size that you turn will determine the size of the hole I will soon, I just kind of winged it lol

[@rickdearmont9950]

Nice house! Let us know who takes up residence.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Will do, Thanks Rick

[@scotth.26]

Nice job! I love watching the humming birds at our feeder. I got one of the HF scroll saws and I've been playing around with it but it doesn't seem to cut real well. Trying to cut 1" x 6" pine boards left over from a firewood shed that built a few years ago. Any suggestions? using the HF blades. Thanks, Scott

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

pine is a real soft wood the "gums" up a bit, try a skip tooth , maybe a #5 or #7 , that may help a bit, 1 inch is thick for the scroll saw, but doable , hope that helps

[@scotth.26]

@@SterlingsWoodcrafts Thanks for the tips. I have a pretty busy schedule so it might be a while before I get time to try different blades or wood. I have some thinner hardwood from a pallet that I might try out next. Thanks again!

Hummingbirds are not cavity nesters. They won't use a bird house. Lol

Hi sterlin Haven’t seen new videos in a while You did great job Just sent out another 100 house to our state magazine Just completed another type of house. Acorn Carolina wren house

[@stephanie09.11]

I am a leftie. Those sayings are awesome!

[@markharding6582]

I would suggest not to put the perch on it. That would encourage house sparrows. Even if the house is too small for them (sparrows) they could use it for killing the hatchlings.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

its for decorations inside, but thanks for looking out

[@lionelhernandez34]

Does it stay together due to tight fit or is there a fastener. You'd think the house and top would come apart with time? Great project

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

lionelhernandez34 it is a friction fix but if you were to use as a out door bird house, you could secure it with a small screw or glue, thanks for watching Lionel

[@larryfetterman3528]

Very nice job I really like that and want to make a few what size was your black you started with ? Thanks Larry

Hi Larry, I think it was a 2 x 2 block to begin with, honestly can’t remember but that would definitely work, appreciate you watching the video and for your support, all the best

[@oldschooldiy3240]

Got to ask, it's been 4 years, have you had any hummingbirds in your house you turned? No one ever shows any hummingbirds nesting in any house people make....

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Humming Bird do not nest, we just call it that because it is tiny and cute, and looks the size of a hummingbird, it’s more for inside/Cover porch Deco, and skill building on the Lathe. Thanks so much for watching though, appreciate the question and support

[@JOHNHOANSHELT]

Nice birdhouse but hummingbirds do not nest in a birdhouse

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Yea, I know, but it sure was fun to turn, and looks cool lol, Thanks John, appreciate you checking it out

[@jo-anngotzon9334]

The more I study the hummingbirds life the more Im learning they dont go into a round or square nesting box. My question is why do you build them if the birds build a nest in the V Of a tree or bush? Is it just to sell a item you made. Id be upset if I bought a round or square humming bird bird house when they dont go inside.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

No ma’am, I don’t sell any items I make, it’s all learning, turning techniques, and having something neat to show from it. It is actually hanging in my kitchen as decor, not before any other purpose but to have a conversation piece

[@GOD_INCARNATE]

but do the birds use it? get some video on the birds living in it!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Its not for birds, but a decorations and practice on the lathe, its a neat little project to build skills on the lathe, thanks so much for watching

[@BentWyre]

Hummingbirds are open nesters and won't use a bird house. Have fun anyway!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

You are correct, thats why i posted it in the description of the video, this was just skill building, thanks for stoppin by

[@leroymclafferty1920]

I am sorry to say. Hummingbirds are not cavity dwellers, meaning they do not live in any type of housing. If you wish to attract them to your yard do the research for your area.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

You’re correct , that’s why it’s put in the comments of this video

[@twhittaker66]

Cute, except hummingbirds don't use birdhouses.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

lol thanks so much for watching, this is why I put that in the comments, the great for decor and skill building on the lathe

[@pierrelarocque3214]

Sorry but hummingbirds are not cavity nesters and will not use that birdhouse or any other.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

That’s why I had this in my description, these are more for home decor and To help me with my turning skills, but thank you for watching

[@mjboise2094]

Hummingbirds do not nest in cavities so they will not us a bird house.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

you are correct, this was just an art piece, turning for fun, but appreciate you feedback and for watching

[@Bamabrat9171]

🤣🤣🤣 My God I can't believe there are so many gullible people in the world. Hummingbirds are not cavity nesters. These bird house would work for chickadees or great decoration.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

More for my turn in skills not for the hummingbirds lol

[@roytallericoGunner]

Sorry son..this won't work. The young hummingbirds will exercise their wings on the edge of the nest..taking turns..just before their first flight. This setup won't allow that. They are too weak to do it on your wood dowel perch. This will lead to their death.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

These are for home decor, Not intended for real hummingbirds just to decorate, and hone in on my turning practices, but thanks for the info
