Workshops
Birdsong brightens your day, and you’d like to give them a cozy nest to hear and observe them up close?
In this 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to build a birdhouse out of solid wood.
You’ll learn how to use the tools and techniques to cut straight and at an angle with a miter saw, as well as how to drill holes with a drill press. You’ll also discover how to nail quickly and efficiently with a pneumatic nailer.
To complete the assembly, we’ll cleanly install a piano hinge on the cabin roof. Perfect for keeping an eye on the comfort of your little feathered tenants!
At the end of the workshop, we’ll prepare our tree house for finishing at home, whether with oil, varnish or paint, following a sanding step.
Cabin dimensions: 16” long, 10 ¼” wide and 8” high. Its exterior dimensions can be modified if you want to make it smaller, and the layout of the interior compartment can be arranged to suit your taste.
Skills required: None. This workshop is open to anyone who wants to add a little life to their balcony or garden!
The price includes wood, tools, hardware and professional advice, but not the birds!
