Dear site visitors. In the presented master class, the author will show how you can make a birdhouse on your own. As you know, the design of this small bird house is quite simple, but there are also subtleties in the construction business.
The first is that the material must be used exclusively natural, and in no case OSB, fiberboard and similar materials, because they contain harmful substances "phenol", etc.
First you need to make markings on the board, cut and assemble. Let's look at all the steps more carefully and find out what exactly the author will need?

2. nails
3. wood screws
4. wood glue
5. the wand
Instruments1. hacksaw
2. hammer
3. screwdriver
4. drill
5. corner
6. pencil
Birdhouse assembly process do it yourself.And so, first of all, the author presents us the drawings of the house, with all the detailed dimensions.
Then the master prepared the tools and material.
Then, with the help of a corner and a pencil, the dimensions and contours of the future birdhouse are applied.
Then, with the help of a jigsaw, all the details are sawn along the contour.
If you do not have a jigsaw, then this does not matter) you can perfectly cut it with a hacksaw.
Here's what happened to the author, 4 walls, and still need two planks for the roof and one for the floor. And so, then the master begins to assemble the house.
ATTENTION!So that when hammering a nail, the wood does not crack and you do not have to make the part again, you should make holes in the fastening points with a thin drill. After you can safely hammer in nails and tighten the screws.
An inlet should be drilled in the front part of the birdhouse, it is desirable that it be 50 mm in diameter, because this is the most optimal size for a feathered inhabitant. And also, through such an entrance a predator will not be able to penetrate.
Here, the master takes a drill with a crown, charges it into a drill and performs drilling, it is advisable to first fix the plate with a clamp.
Here is the result. And another important moment! On the reverse side of the front of the birdhouse, you should make a gash, or fill the wand at the entrance, this is necessary so that the birds can comfortably get out of their home.
Further, the author cuts out a couple more boards for the roof. Here, too, you first need to drill holes, and then hammer in nails.
The board is cut out, the bottom is installed.
Similarly, pre-drill a hole and clog nails.
In the front part of the birdhouse, right under the entrance, you need to make a perch so that the bird can easily get into its home. A hole will be drilled.
The stick is made of wood, the part that will be directly inserted into the hole is lubricated with carpentry glue.
And now the birdhouse is ready.
Also, for convenience of fastening, it is necessary to make a rack at the back, or simply fasten the bar. To install a birdhouse should be at least 3 meters above the surface of the earth, a tree will be the best place.
ATTENTION! The birdhouse should be fixed so that the inlet is located and facing the south side. Just as important! No need to paint the house in bright colors and generally use some kind of paint, because it scares away birds and attracts predators.
