Introduction: Building a Simple Wooden Birdhouse This guide will walk you through constructing a basic birdhouse, providing a safe and cozy home for feathered friends in your yard. It's a great beginner woodworking project, requiring minimal tools and materials.

Materials You'll Need:

• One 1" x 6" x 6' cedar or pine board (untreated)
• Wood glue (exterior grade)
• 1 1/4" exterior screws or nails
• Sandpaper (various grits)
• Exterior paint or stain (optional)
• Eye hook (for hanging)

Tools You'll Need:

• Saw (hand saw, circular saw, or miter saw)
• Drill (with drill bits and screwdriver bits)
• Measuring tape
• Pencil
• Clamps (optional, but helpful)
• Safety glasses
• Dust mask

Step 1: Cutting the Pieces Using the measurements below, cut the lumber into the following pieces. Remember to always wear safety glasses while cutting.

• Front: 6" wide x 8" tall
• Back: 6" wide x 10" tall
• Sides (2 pieces): 6" wide x 7" tall (angled at the top see next steps)
• Bottom: 4 1/2" wide x 6" long
• Roof (2 pieces): 5" wide x 8" long

Step 2: Angling the Sides On each side piece, measure 2" down from one edge on the *top* of each 7" tall piece, this will create a slope for roof. Draw a line from that point to the opposite top corner of the side piece. Cut along this line to create angled sides.

Step 3: Creating the Entrance Hole On the front piece, find the center horizontally. Drill an entrance hole approximately 2" in diameter. You can adjust the size of the hole depending on the type of birds you want to attract. Place it about 2 inches from the top.

Step 4: Assembling the Birdhouse Box Apply wood glue to the edges of the bottom piece. Attach the front, back, and side pieces to the bottom piece, forming a box. Secure each piece with screws or nails. Use clamps to hold the pieces together while the glue dries if you have them. The taller back piece should extend past the bottom, allowing for drainage.

Step 5: Attaching the Roof Apply wood glue to the top edges of the front, back, and side pieces. Attach the roof pieces, overlapping them slightly at the top. Secure with screws or nails. Ensure the roof overhangs slightly on all sides.

Step 6: Sanding and Finishing Sand all edges and surfaces to remove any splinters or rough spots. You can leave the birdhouse unfinished, or you can apply an exterior paint or stain to protect the wood and enhance its appearance. Remember to use non-toxic finishes that are safe for birds. Let the finish dry completely before proceeding.

Step 7: Adding Drainage and Ventilation Drill a few small drainage holes in the bottom of the birdhouse. This helps prevent water from accumulating. Drill a few small ventilation holes near the top of the sides to improve airflow.

Step 8: Attaching the Hanger Screw an eye hook into the top of the back piece. This will allow you to hang the birdhouse from a tree branch or post.

Conclusion: Your New Birdhouse Congratulations! You've successfully built a simple wooden birdhouse. Find a suitable location in your yard to hang it, away from predators and in a sheltered spot. Enjoy watching the birds move in and make it their home!
