Project - Six Sided Birdhouse

[@matchstickdesignco]

That washer trick was pure gold. Thank you for that.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thank you for watching!

[@Happydays147]

I love bird houses, and this one is beautiful, great job , it definitely helps having the right tools for the job...

[@angelclass9814]

Awesome Bird house. Nicely done.

[@davidazinger5639]

That is quite the bird house. You got quite the finesse on that table saw. Amazing. The Lord has given you great skills.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks for watching, David!

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

cool design, liked your idea with the tape to simplify the glue up

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Kyle Patrick (fenderhead23) Thanks! That's the easiest way I found to clamp something like this, especially the roof. The rest can be done with band clamps, but not everyone has those.

[@danielmota1095]

I use tape and rubber bands, the rubber act like a clamp!!

[@joequillun7790]

Perfect video for what I needed. Thanks. (I like how you plunged the jig saw. ) Well done.

[@alanshaw3197]

Nice looking bird house. And well made.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks for watching!

[@SuperYtviewer]

Tedious repetitive 60 degree cuts, done in a way that was enjoyable to watch. I love the design, simple and elegant. That will standout in the yard of the recipient that hangs it up. Especially love the clean out hatch. Great job. Thank you for the video. - Anne

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+SuperYtviewer I did my best not to lose you :o) Thanks for watching!

[@ladykenja2700]

- EXCELLENT ! ! ! VERY well done. I like the challenge of cutting angles Thanx 4 sharing.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks for watching!

[@Patricksworkshop]

Nice build Jason.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Patrick's Work Shop Thanks, buddy!

[@TedAlexander24]

That's a very nice birdhouse Jason. Well done.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Ted Alexander Thanks for watching, Ted!

[@jackiemorrell2298]

I wish there were actual plans and explanations for those of us who aren't that experienced with carpentry. A voice over actually explaining what you're doing and why would be helpful. It's a really pretty birdhouse.

[@adriandabner8545]

I liked this one,! Good job

[@frankingram3382]

Great project and also a great looking project. Thanks for sharing. God Bless my friend.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks for watching, Frank!

[@estevansanz5478]

There are many factors in doing a pro job. One place I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Aviary magic method (check it out on google) without a doubt the most incredible course that I've heard of. Check out this super website.

[@rubybarnes6989]

There are several suggestions for constructing an aviary: Allow enough time. take advantage of ready made boat outlines. (I discovered about these and more on Aviary magic method website )

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

Great looking bird house. I think I will make one of these in the future.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Saw Dust Maker Thanks for watching! This was built in a single day. Good weekend project.

[@BraxtonWirthlin]

Great birdhouse, Jason! I love those little digital angle cubes. That's definitely a must for cutting all those different angles super accurate.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Braxton Wirthlin Thanks, Brax! That little thing is a life saver for getting the angles just right. How did we live without them? :o)

[@mfwoodshop]

Cool bird house. One thing you don't see a lot of is compound miter cuts. Like the washer trick. Oh ya good looking shirt.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Mike Fulton Thanks for watching, Mike! That's true, you don't see many compound miter cuts.

[@larrycirillo9507]

Great project Jason . nice looking bird house but needed some additional info as degree of angles used in sides and roof angles . looks like you teased a lot of us but for the less experianced will need more info so we dont have to guess. help us out especially with roof. thanks

[@bradturbo44]

Love it all the best john.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks for watching!

[@NICKLETT1]

Great video, can't wait to start making one

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks, Nick!

[@robertbrunston5406]

Awesome bird house!

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Robert Brunston Thanks, Robert!

[@barryroberts6470]

Very nice Bird House Jason, looks really good. Take Care, Barry (from England)

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Barry Roberts Thanks for watching, Barry!

[@infocpctrainer]

looks cool, I'm going to try it with pallet wood come the spring when it gets warmer, thanks for the idea

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Awesome! Thanks for watching, Ron!

[@AllenOxendine]

Ice work, thanks for sharing. Full View and Like

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

nice jason i have some cedar from the clubhouse i never finished the expansion, think i will make a few birdhouses with the kids. thanks for the inspiration.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Miter Mike's Woodshop That would work out nice and would weather much nicer than the pine I used on this.

[@MichaelLawing]

Nice! I like the compound angle look.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Michael Lawing Thanks! I really like that look too.

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

Nice work bud!

[@carvinlambert6899]

good job. enjoyed it!

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks for watching!

[@stevec2513]

Love the design. Would really appreciate knowing the angles for the roof.

[@branimirkajmic9989]

nice project man

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Branimir Kajmic Thanks for watching!

[@stephanebernier9146]

Very nice!!!

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks for watching!

[@BradleyMakesThings]

That came out really nice, Jason! I really really like it. I need to get more adventurous and try some more complex angles like this so I can mess them up and then learn to do them lol.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Carter Wilson Workshop with Bradley Boggs Trust me, I messed plenty up before! I even had to redo a few things on this, but I spared the video those mistakes ;) Thanks for watching!

[@jamesluciani18]

Hello Jason - Awesome looking bird house! I am having a hard time with the roof angles on the 6-sided bird house I have built. Can you please post the Mitre and pitch angles you used for your roof. Thanks much! Jim

[@paulmeneaux9346]

Jim, The easiest thing to do is make each "triangle" piece for your roof. Once you make those then rotate the blade of your saw (5 or 10 degrees) and run each piece. You will find it is much easier than he makes it appear. I used 10 degrees and was much happier with the pitch of the roof.

[@LM-fn6qb]

I know it's a while since this video was made, but thanks for adding this and your other comment also. Very helpful.@@paulmeneaux9346

[@brigitte741]

I love it, great job !!

[@johnjohnoj6408]

Beautiful friend I'll make one ty

[@DavidBishopinc]

Great bird house.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+David Bishop Thanks for watching!

[@JJ-jt4ji]

What is the angle for the roof you cut to give pitch? And should there of been a angle cut on top of the walls to match the pitch angle?

[@prubly68]

Same question. It seems a "How to" video would include details about "how to" do something...

[@madisondornseif7516]

[@jpwoodwork]

very nice Jason :)

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+jp woodwork Thanks for watching!

[@davidskeeterskeeter1835]

I’m gonna have a shot at this ,!,,Many thanks fella,,👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks for watching! Good luck with yours!

[@shabansaddique4637]

Beautiful

[@stevecollins9450]

Great project there, Jason. I believe I'll be building one of those, that is unless I need a Carvex to build it right :>).

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Steve Collins Nah, the old DeWalt would have worked just fine. I just had to try out my new toy! :D Thanks for watching, Steve!

[@Elpelon177]

Bonito trabajo

[@ismailturan154]

Emeğine sağlık usta çok güzel olmuş

[@mcremona]

Nice carvex!

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Matthew Cremona Thanks! I wondered how long it would take someone to mention that. Let the elite hate begin :D

[@mcremona]

Only love from me

[@statlerfan582]

I have the bird house all done, But the roof. I can't get the angle cut right. Could you please tell us how to do the roof????

[@brianneum]

It is very nice looks like a fun project. I was looking for your plans on your site but it seems your website is down.

[@bryanpearce4440]

Impressive!

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks for watching, Bryan!

[@greg6107]

Top drawer, very nice workmanship. Would the roof leak at the joint over time ?

[@DesignBuildExecute]

It was glued up pretty tight, so I hope it stays sealed. You could always use Titebond III which is meant for getting wet. Thanks for watching!

[@MajidAlQassimi]

The music gets a like too, awesome work!!

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Majid Al Qassimi Thank you for watching!

[@pennygiller2377]

Would have left a longer edge on bottom for birds to sit on or baby birds to land on if they fall out of the bird hole....a longer landing....most of the bird house builders don't think of this.....other wise great design! Looks beautiful!

[@DesignBuildExecute]

I'll keep that in mind if I make up drawings for the website. Thanks for watching!

[@patrickbohn6557]

Same reason you make the hole small

[@ragtie6177]

Good job!

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Rag Tie Thanks for watching!

[@paulkeward3713]

Great Birdhouse. Where can I get the plans?

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Paul Keward This was a quick one-off project for a neighbor, but I think I could draw up some plans for my site. I'll work on that!

[@paulkeward3713]

+Jason Rausch Thanks alot.

[@carolynboggs6121]

just getting into birdhouse building, would like to give this one a try

[@nathandodson1801]

How big are your cuts as I would love to make one of these they look really nice really enjoyed watching your video

[@paulmeneaux9346]

It is a shame that Mr. Rausch feels the necessity to be so protective of his design. There are two things to keep in mind when building the roof. One is the slope and the other is the overhang. For each piece of the roof, each angle is 60 degrees. The slope (Ruasch uses 5 degrees) you can modify. I used 10 degrees to give the roof more slope. The overhang is based on how large you want to make each piece of the roof. I used 1 1/2 in overhang. Don't be fooled by his slight of hand. It is best to make each section of the roof. After you make each piece, rotate your blade 5 or 10 degrees and then do each side of the roof piece. Fit them together, glue, paint and screw into the top.

[@john8714]

rst of all I want to say what a brilliant design! secondly i would love to be able to make one of this, would it be possible to get information on what wood you used, how much of it, what angles you used and a step by step guide. also I have subscribed! thank you, god bless

[@trevorwalters7978]

Yep also missed the step on making the roof bevel and assembly. I will have a bash at making one and list the cut list.👍🇬🇧🇬🇪🙋🏼‍♂️

[@79boatman]

Nice... Thanks for the video... :)

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks for watching!

[@richardlabek4221]

What a great birdhouse, Could you supply a complete set of drawing for it? Just let me know the cost, it is well worth it. Thanks, Rich

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Rich, I'm working on plans for my website. Hope to have those up soon. Thanks for watching!

[@lisajones2783]

Are you going to make more bird houses ??

[@DesignBuildExecute]

I'm considering it. I found that bird houses have to be built very specific for a bird to actually want to use it. I'm researching other designs. Thanks for watching!

[@colbra2]

I have enjoyed making your six sided birdhouse could you tell me please why you changed your jig saw half way through making the door in the base of the bird house. Colin from Australia

[@alpercaliskan3888]

Hi,jason,can you give dimensions of each pieces ?

[@bobbydelaura]

How do I make the jig that you cut the hexagon angles

[@dylanphillips149]

first of all I want to say what a brilliant design! secondly i would love to be able to make one of this, would it be possible to get information on what wood you used, how much of it, what angles you used and a step by step guide. also I have subscribed! thank you, god bless

[@danielmota1095]

What a show off , I would like to see some plans!

[@joezeit7391]

Awesome birdhouse! So, how did the contest go?

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Thanks! If you're referring to the Summers birdhouse contest, I don't know. I didn't enter.

[@BookerKing]

I used your video to make a similar version of this birdhouse and its currently occupied by a family of chickadees. Thanks

[@DesignBuildExecute]

That's awesome! Thank you for sharing!

[@cliffcarlo180]

Nice design, just wondering how you will clean it out each year.

[@kennybo-iy2ed]

[@hakeemm3574]

well done

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Hakeem M Thanks for watching!

[@johncoonradtjr.5141]

Great project came out great what were you using on the drill press to smooth off The curled parts.

[@DesignBuildExecute]

I have a small spindle sander attachment that fits in my drill press. I just bring the table up to a level that the work can touch the drum and I can sand using the table as a 90 degree reference. Thanks for watching!

[@mikolajrazny]

About the roof: 2:49 should be about 61.2 to 61.5 degrees (definitly not 60 as you won't be able to glue this togehter) with 5 degrees in 2:54. I think it turned out ok on this video, but maybe the piece from 3:12 has other dimentions than the rest? Or am i missing something here?

[@dantang65]

Very nice thankyou verymuch

[@adamquincey4371]

excellent.. cheers...

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Adam Quincey Thanks for watching!

[@sabinerespaud1340]

Bonsoir pouvez vous nous donner le plan et les dimensions des éléments et quel bois prendre

[@didiermiandyou7217]

superbe, l'angle est de combien svp?

[@John-uz3ho]

Good looking hexagon, yes, but entry hole is too big (what kind of bird are you expecting?) - also, birds do NOT require a perch, but predators do. I like your hinged cleanout bottom ...

[@kayartist]

Thanks for sharing, great work, what table saw are you using ? looks great. Kay x

[@DesignBuildExecute]

I have a Ridgid R4512. Thanks for watching!

[@kmorrocco]

You showed me, but I need the blade angle for the roof. Can't see it on the video. Is it 5 degrees? Would be nice if you included the sizes of the six sides just to be sure. Looks like 4 inches and 30 degree blade angle? It would be helpful for a mid level wood worker. Thanks.

[@MarilinMamolite]

Hermosa 👏👏👏

[@mariopalermo100]

Bravo. Dall' Italia

[@DesignBuildExecute]

Grazie, Mario!

[@raulmarmitajo3548]

I have spent months researching into constructing a bird house and discovered a fantastic website at Aviary magic method (check it out on google)

[@1cgower]

I like it thanks

[@richyoung7266]

do you have materials list? and sizes?

[@sailorroberts2754]

how did you cut the roof for the house?

[@DesignBuildExecute]

If you are referring to the angles, you'll see if the video how I used a combination of miter gauge and tilted blade to get them correct.

[@garychristiansen508]

@@DesignBuildExecute Could you explain how you came up with the 30 degree for the TS miter gauge and the whatever angle for the table saw blade, that's what we would like to know. Thanks again!

[@GaryTanner-mr5vw]

The video is good but without the plans, I will not say this is a good build.

[@edwardbook2107]

Does anybody have the dimensions for the roof on the six-sided bird house

[@johncoonradtjr.5141]

What was the angle cuts in the beginning to cut the six sides And put them together

[@DesignBuildExecute]

John, Six sides, so the formula is simple: (360/6)/2=30 degrees.

[@najibcasa2745]

I have spent months studying constructing birdhouses and found an awesome website at Aviary Magic Method (google it if you're interested)

[@frankthornal9489]

30° on the six sides, what is the angle for the top?

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Frank Thornal I cut the top at 5 degrees each side, for a total of 10 degrees.

[@edwardbook2107]

What's the dimensions of the roof

[@deslandesdenis8309]

J aimerais acheter le plan😊

[@tooljunkie555]

turned out nice guy really nice kind of has a Japanese vibe to it good stuff bro tweet tweet ;>)

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Joe basementwoodworking Thanks, Joe! You're one of many who said it had a Japanese look to it.

[@fibbicartagean9938]

can I buy this bird house is great!

[@nickdispensa9762]

nice

[@h1733]

Hi Jason. This is Germany calling. I have problems cutting out the roof. Could you please publish the measurements (size of the board, angels, length of shindel) Thanks a lot.

[@carolynboggs6121]

do you have plans fir this birdhouse

[@DesignBuildExecute]

+Carolyn Boggs Plans for this are on my growing list of things I need to do. When they are available, I'll have them for download at rauschww.com Thanks for watching!

[@BrazucaNY]

Whats up with the roof ?

[@Silent-G]

What were the angles on the roof?

[@HydraSR]

Come on, didn't you learn basic geometry in elementary? 360 degrees divided by the number of the sides which is, in this case, 6. So it's 60 degrees. I hope you don't convert degrees into Fahrenheit...

[@janbaker9418]

Where can I find the patterns

[@javylares]

Nice birdhouse but too fast to see the detail on angles and all measurements.
