Copper Stitched Birdhouse

I am stealing the copper stiching idea, it looks great. Amazing creativity.

Very nice craftsmanship and use of reclaimed wood. Really like it.

Great bird house. I like how it is all reclaimed materials. Nice design and build. The stitching is unique.

Keep it up.

Now that is just TOO COOL! We have dozens of bird houses around our property and each is different. Hope you won’t mind if I use your idea for an addition to our housing.

I love the stitching idea. I hope you don’t mind if I use it.

great idea the stiching is. not to mention the roof using the straps. Just starting to bird so thanks for the idea. Hope you don’t ;mind me telling me wifey it was my idea. Naaa I wouldn’t do that give credit where credit is due. Nice looking bird house shrub.

Ditto on “borrowing” the stiching idea. Great looking house for some lucky bird. I love that you made the whole thing from scrap.

Hi Shrub, I’ve always admired all your projects, mainly for the recycling aspect but also for the workmanship and creativity.

I have one question about your design; are you attempting to attract one particular type of bird? I think most of your houses have the thick ring around the entry hole. Is that a signature design for you or is it called for by the species you are attempting to attract?

Thanks and well done.

Thank you for all the positive comments. In my opinion, there is no bigger compliment than somebody “borrowing” an idea of mine. I have an overloaded 4×6 foot bulletin board in my shop for “borrowed” ideas. I just need to break my birdhouse habit first. Anybody know of a birdhouse 12 step program that works?

RobS – I’m not really attempting to attract a particular type of bird with the ring. I added a thick ring one time to slow down a particular tree rat (squirrel) that was chewing up the front of all my houses. The rings are easy to replace. Maybe it is now part signature and part fortification.

BTW – I borrowed the stitching idea from the laces on a pair of my yard boots.

dang I thought it was a new washingmashine you had come up with
it seams to me I have to buy instead of building one :-(

Shrub maybe to get out of your bird house niche if it doesn’t get you in too much trouble with the wife you should move up to Cat Houses. ...tap, tap… is this thing on? Sorry I couldn’t help myself.
