Rate my homemade birdtable...

[Crackle]

I was going to buy one but they were fifty quid, so I thought, hang on, I've got some wood, I can build one. So I photographically memorised the fifty quid one and then got to work.

It's hard to tell I know (cough) but the last time I did any fancy woodwork, that being defined as anything beyond a straight cut and nailing things, was pre O-Level.

This was a final pre-cursor to make sure I had the necessary skills to do the decking. I think on the strength of this I can go pro.

I think it's fab.
I'd like one in blue please

 

[MossCommuter]

Is it Dove Tail jointed?

 

[Hill Wimp]

Yes one in green for me please

Looks fantastic.

I still reckon it'll fall to bits as soon as more than one bird lands on it.

Windows are too big

Nice job though

Inspired by Minecraft methinks.

Its better than my effort.

Looks great. I might buy 4 of you. The £200 will be worth it to keep you off CC for a few days and a small breeze in the right direction should have them crumbing into some nice wood for my fire.

It'll look, err, 'good' in the, err, garden!

[QUOTE 4747613, member: 259"]Nice!

Whenever I do that kind of thing I always spend more than the original amount on materials and tools that I will never use again.[/QUOTE]

I know what you mean but apart from two strips of wood, I had everything.

Four: A few days. I think you vastly over-estimate the speed I work.

Apologies, I was applying a southerner's productivity.

Making a hole in a tree would have been a better idea - at least for the bird.

In that case, consider the four ordered but they'll just never arrive.
