Starts with a Sketch
"Google 'birdhouses', go to images, go to 'funky designs' for more inspiration"
I have noticed that the month of July has been a busy month for me in the workshop. Custom projects and dozens of birdhouses have occupied my time, productively and positively in most cases, and - fortunately - quite a few items have been completed or are almost done.
When I start catching my breath my mind usually asks the question, "So, what's next, Buster?"
Well, now that I've completed a rough sketch of an old trailer and have done a bit of thinking about suitable materials for building such a thing (birdhouse that is), I think I will soon be knee-deep cutting lumber and assembling bits and pieces using the time-tested method called 'trial and error'. And though I have seen some vintage trailer birdhouses made with lumber and tin, I will stick to plywood and white pine.
"I will use angled slats to form the curved sections"
"Yup. I predict I'll need a lot of slats!"
More to follow, when time allows.
