Super bird house

Great idea… well done… especially the documentation…. just wait when she sees these photos in 10, 20, 30, 40 years… quite a treasure. She’s quite the designer of birdhouses, too!

Awesome job well done always to have your child come to you and ask to build somthing. I know I enjoy it when my 5 year old son ask to build things.

Great design and how wonderful it is to build something with your children : )

Great birdhouse. Love that your daughter wants to be a part of your wood life.

Great story. Am sure she enjoyed herself, (by that big smile she has, she did!)

Keep up the inspiration!

Scrappy

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

The smile on her face says it all. Priceless.

Well done.

Please tell her for me that I think it is beautiful!!!!!!!!!
One of my most favorite memories of my youngest daughter (she passed away in June of 08 at the age of 23) was building a birdhouse. They were having a contest at school, she was in the 4th or 5th grade, and since I owned a woodworking business, and her older sister had won a woodworking contest at school and went on to win regional, she wanted to enter. So we designed it and she done all the work including at lot of bandsawing.
Well, we also owned a building supply at the time and we went on vacation before the contest. She had left the birdhouse behing the counter of the store and a guy came in and wanted to buy it. Our employee thought it was for sale so she sold it to him for $10. He said his son was in a contest at school and he didn’t have the time to mess with it. When we got home my baby was devastated. So I told her don’t worry we will build an even nicer one. And we did and she still done the work. Well, wouldn’t you know it but the first birdhouse that the guy bought won the contest. They told my daughter that they didn’t think she could have built hers and that is why the second one didn’t win. That’s the first and only time I have ever went to a school and rasied cane and let them know the true story. I don’t remember exactly what happen then but everyone knew my baby built both of them
Sorry for going on and on.
You and your daughter will rememer this for the rest of your lives and it makes me feel good to see another father sharing a birdhouse with his daughter. And you even have pics. Cherish her and them because you never know when you may loose them
Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS Make sure to tell her to never, never, never do drugs because I wouldn’t want her daddy to have to tell this same story years from now and sit at his computer and cry.

You do realize that your birdhouse has become a wonderful memory for your beautiful daughter. Often, we are so involved in life that we forget to take a full measure of the important moments that slip by. Kodak moments. This is one such moment. Guaranteed, your daughter will not allow this to slip by. Years form now, this birdhouse will become to topic of many dinner table discussions, and a happy one at that. You have created far more than a birdhouse. You have created a lasting memory that may well have become the inspiration of your daughters dreams! Good going dad!

Dale said it…........... just absolutely “priceless” !!!
What a treasure to keep and remember and what a special moment.
I so much treasure all of the times that my daughter and I made things together.

Thanks for sharing

Great job on the bird house mfg. You did a great job.

And, your dad has taught you a few things about making items. Do your planning and designing and work safely.

We want to thank everyone for their sweet words, I just had her in here reading all the nice things you have all said, she’s so proud her chest is all puffed up and let me tell you she’s struttin’ her stuff. So for the big smile on her face this evening, and the encouragement, Thanks again.

Next on the list, my 9 year old wants to build a frame for a mirror. We’ll see how that one goes, I know she has her own ideas as well.

Built 2 Last, My best friend is about 15 years older than me, he also has three daughters and his baby is caught up in the crap herself, it breaks my heart for her, but for him and his wife as well, I can’t help but picture myself in his shoes sometimes, it’s very very scary to me. to scary for words

My prayers go out to you my friend, and know that I believe there is healing to be found in creating with your hands.
