This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in
Dimensional Lumber Woodworking.
Birds are nice, let's build a house for them!
Warning - This
video is exceedingly optimistic about what you can do in under 5 minutes.
Minimum requirements:
- Build a simple beginner bird house
- A bird might want to live in it (maybe a really ugly and desperate bird)
- It won't kill the bird
- Made from
wood, nails and/or screws - no glue
- 5" wide or greater
- Weather resistant design - for the bird and for the longevity of the house
To document the BB, provide pics or video (<2 min) of the following:
- Wood you're starting with
- Bird house under construction
- Finished bird house
Clarifications:
- A bit tung oil or linseed oil on the exterior is acceptable. Using rot resistant woods that don't need protection is about ten times better than using lessor wood treated with oil.
