king 11,984 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Right I've got a privet hedge about 6ft from the kitchen window and have put a bird table on top of it held with a post running through the hedge it's a solid fixing but it's just that a table. I want to build a better 1 complete with roof to stop the food getting wet and keep the corvids out. Have Any of you made your own. The more home made the better I'm not interested in the normal types. Sawn timber etc. And prefer more log branch looking 1s. Cheers King. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

king 11,984 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Does something like these float your boat? TC They are very nice tiercel.im assuming you done them yourself.But I'm after something a little different from the norm to be honest. Like going into the woods with a saw and hammer nails.and letting the imagination run wild type of thing. Something a bit different. Something like this but with a bit more character tiercel. http://handycrowd.com/make-a-quick-and-easy-birdtable-out-of-thin-branches/ Edited February 6, 2016 by king 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Does something like these float your boat? TC they float my boat . i fancy copying that. any sizes for it would be really handy I made them to sit inside flower boxes so that I could put a box over the top of them to send them by courier. I made some for a garden centre that were half as big as those ones again. They were not so much a bird house more of a bird sprawling bungalow. Copy the design by all means but use your own sizing. You will need a dovetailing jig, router, table saw, cross pull mitre saw, Jig saw, forstner bits, a biscuit jointer and biscuits, Tanalised fence post, 6 x1" board, 5" feather edged board and 2" diameter fencing posts for the supports. Oh and a wide selection of stainless steel screws. To be honest I never wrote the sizes down and it was so long ago I made them I cannot remember the sizing now, just make sure they are in proportion and go with what you like.
