Drip caps go on top of the ledger board to protect water from get ting in behind of the ledger board! Putting it at the bottom does absolutely nothing for routing water away from the ledger board! DRIPCAP!!! Please fyi guys don't do this.
Do you find that this size router table is sufficient for most woodworking? I was considering making one like this where it would be turned sideways so the wood feeds onto the work bench. Might use it as a jointer. I'm debating to make one either exactly like yours, like yours but sideways, or integrated into the work bench itself. What do you think? Thanks.
Unfortunately a wood worker that probably isn't a birder. A beautiful design, but... painting or staining can be toxic to chicks, always place a predator block over the access hole, make 3-4 shallow kerf cuts below the access hole both inside and out the inside cuts allow chicks to climb when the fledge, inadequate ventilation means eggs and chicks can over heat, a wood roof would offer more heat protection. Obviously a very nice project but not safe for eggs or chicks. Sorry.
You mean the ledger board? It was nailed to the sheathing first to hold in place then came back and used lag bolts to attach to every 2x6 stud two lags per
there is truly nothing new under the sun. I made something very similar to this about three months ago and thought how clever I was for coming up with something new, only to find out it has been done already. Your build has a couple of nice features I omitted. What you might want to add to yours is a couple of dowels corresponding with your dog holes, that way you just pop the jig in place. Second, for the fence I just used a wide board, routed two slots and put two fixed bolts through the table itself, the slots being in the fence instead of the table might make easier to slide.
You can a little pock glue to your scare to block the holes... if you screw it in the center... you it as a axle and rotate 45 degree to paint the missing lines
I want to make this with no more tools than a drill. I was thinking of getting the ply wood cut the right dimensions at Home Depot, but would there be a way I could work around the brad nailer? Thank You:)
I notice in one of the comments, you respond that your birdhouse is more for decoration than for functionality. Glad you recognize this, as a tin roof, which has great rustic appeal, will, in hot summer months, broil the chicks inside. Also, cleanout was mentioned, which is a valid point. Likewise, ventilation holes must be provided for a viable abode for birds. Otherwise, good building technique ...
When building your target remember to think long term. When you become effective at throwing axes, you're going to damage the wood very quickly, which will require replacement. Especially the center areas where you'll be doing most of your aiming. Design your target so you can replace individual pieces of wood very easily.
Thanks for a very concise run down of most important topics. Didn’t even consider having a power source for phone or square back up. Last time I did craft shows we only took cash but that’s not going to work now! Also hadn’t considered tablecloth clamps or tent weights. Happy to have the links! Thank you
