LarryEA Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Tweet, tweet housing! I really enjoyed constructing these houses. Ok, so I cut them... How many??????? well I ended up cutting 42 total. Not all are finished yet. The great part is they are accupied as soon as I get them ready. Some are Pine, Spanish Cedar and Ash. The Birds are much the same. Cut with (mostly) Precision Ground 5R-PGT .044 x .018 12-9rev Edited September 5, 2016 by LarryEA fastfreddy, Vott1, lonewolf and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Great work Larry! I see you went with the smaller holes. How will you finish them? Dan, I will brush a couple coats of lacquer on. Actually, the one with birds have two coats of brushed lacquer and a final coat with the rattle can.

LarryEA Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Larry they're great and I like the chain hangers where do you buy them from. Roly Roly, I actually put them together. All material from a craft store. * Decorative chain * Two different sizes of split rings. I took the larger split ring and used pliars to bend out a 1/4" inch to stick down into the top of the bird house. Drilled an undersize hole for the wire to fit and glued it in with super glue. ----> <------ Edited September 5, 2016 by LarryEA Gordster and Phantom Scroller 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
