The title says it all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Supplies
- Half a log of wood about 7 inches tall, does not need to be exact
- Wood glue
- Bandsaw
-Drill
- 1/8 inch bit
- 1.25 inch bit
- Rope
- 2 Clamps
Sawing Out the Roof
mark out a line about 1 to 1.5 inches of the edge a saw it of using the bandsaw. it'll take some time as the wood is pretty thick, take your time
More Sawing
saw off both ends, about an inch away from the edge
Hollow Out the Centre
hollow out the center leaving 1 inch thick walls with a bandsaw. the not-needed chunk of wood can be thrown away or if not, use in a different project.
Sealing the Blade's Entry and Exit
fill the gap with wood glue and then use clamp it together.
Sealing
use the ends from step 2, glue them back on with wood glue, and clamp.
Hole for the Birds
using a 1.25-inch drill bit, I drilled a hole at the front.
Add Roof
Attachment of roof is done here with wood glue, if you would like to, you could use high grit sandpaper to make it smoother.
Add Rope
add the rope under the roof to hang it
Hang It on a Tree
