Mike,

I have a grandchild on the way and would love to emulate your work with a piece of my own. I cannot tell how the sides of the house are constructed. Could you please provide additional photos or a description of what you did to achieve the curving walls?

Thanks,

-- Sola Gratia, John

John ….Well i wish i could take credit for the design ..but I just do as I am told ….ha…The plans can be gotten from here.

at Meisel Hobby and Hardware …
They have some really cool stuff …go online and get their catalog….

and congrads on the grandbaby …on the way …

Think of the side slats like a roll top desk without the material connecting the slats ..
The sides are actually small slats probably 4”x 1” we cut them to length on a small hobby tablesaw…but a bandsaw would work as well …The whole thing was pinned with 1.25 ” pins and glued. the front and back we routed out a rabbet on each side so the end grain of the side slats did not show.

and got to use that JessEm Router Table …oh yes what a Cadillac …

Actually very easy…... even for me ….

parts list
front and back = 1 piece each
top = 2 pieces
window = 1 piece
shutters for window ..= 2 pieces
Door = 1 piece
roof over door = 2 pieces slats …I forget how many slats there were …
Hope this helps …

Gator,
That is a nice looking bird house. It should attract a lot of colorful birds.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Very nice work Mike . I really like the style .

It looks like it would be at home in the windy city, Chicago. The birds would love it, then when out of towners came by, they would be chirping about it all the way home.
