Birdhouse

I Built this birdhouse when I was temporarily layed off from work during COVID. I started it not realizing I would put as much into it as I initially thought. Best part is, a year later and birds are finally using it. The roof is cedar, I used real brick and mortar for the exterior.

Wow! Amazing!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

That's an awesome design.  Great work!

Half of what we read or hear about finishing is right. We just don’t know which half! — Bob Flexner

Very creative birdhouse. The design is so magical looking and using all the real materials makes it even cooler. It should be fun to watch the fledgelings grow up.

Wonderful birdhouse.   How did you support the brick chimney on the roof?     Like your work.

The is an awesome birdhouse.  How did you make the tiny bricks?
one of the coolest bird houses ive seen.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Thanks guys for the compliments on the birdhouse.  Ron, I shaped the chimney out of wood and used a diamond wheel on a grinder to cut small bricks and used construction adhesive to glue them to the wood. Afterwards I mortised into the cedar shakes and doweled  it to the roof. 
Now that is sharp !!!!  The roof and chimney are out of this world. Excellent job.  Mike
Good thing there is a chimney the fumes from your garden weed  might make the birds a bit loco too!
Should make a great nest

Snicker snicker!
Otherwise seriously though a very good job

We have a pub here called the Ettamoga Pub same build style

A wonderful bird home. I doubt there are many like it out there, and I don't know a bird fan who wouldn't love to have it at their home. Great work
Super build. Excellent design and workmanship.
