The grain of the wood should run longitudinally, to minimize warping and cracking. If you use pine lumber, consider using cedar for the roof. You may wish to sand the exterior surfaces, but be sure to leave the inside surfaces rough, to enable the young birds to get a grip when fledging. This wooden box has a 7¾" (19.7 cm) square floor. The bottom of the entrance hole should be located 9" to 10" (22.9–25.4 cm) above the floor. When you cut the entrance hole, be sure to take into account that the floor must be recessed ¼" (.6 cm) to create a drip edge. Cut ⅝" (1.6 cm) off each of the four corners of the floor to create drainage holes. Alternatively, drill four or five ¼" (.6 cm) drainage holes in the floor. Drill three ⅜" (1 cm) holes near the top of the nonpivoting side for ventilation. inside view of front Cutting Diagram 7¾" 15" 22½" 13" 15" 16" 7¾" FLOOR FRONT BACK 9¾" 9¾" ROOF SIDE 2 SIDE 1 7¾" 16" 15" dowel 2½" Assembly 9¾" 1.

Pine boxes will last longer if painted, but untreated pine boxes may last approximately 10 years. Be sure to use light-colored exterior latex house paint, and treat only the outside. Do not use paint that contains lead or toxic wood preservatives. pan-head screw and washer Location and Mounting Screech-Owls generally prefer open woodland. Locate the nest box in a shaded area of an open city or rural park, a small woodlot, or an apple orchard. Place it from 15 to 50 feet (4.6–15.4 m) up on a straight trunk that is wider than the box. Make sure that there is an unobstructed flying area near the box. Northern Saw-whet Owls also tend to nest rather high, so mount the box 14 feet (4.3 m) off the ground, or higher in deciduous, evergreen, or mixed forests, woodlots, and swamps. Place the box in a mature, live tree, preferably near water. Place 2 to 3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of wood shavings (not cedar) in the bottom of the box as nesting material for Screech-Owls and Northern Saw-whet Owls. Do not use sawdust, because it may irritate the nostrils and eyes of the nestlings. Clean out and replace the shavings every season.

  • Hand Saws Hand Saws Have Evolved to fill Many Niches and Cutting Styles
    Source: https://www.garagetooladvisor.com/hand-tools/different-types-of-saws-and-their-uses/ Hand Saws Hand saws have evolved to fill many niches and cutting styles. Some saws are general purpose tools, such as the traditional hand saw, while others were designed for specific applications, such as the keyhole saw. No tool collection is complete without at least one of each of these, while practical craftsmen may only purchase the tools which fit their individual usage patterns, such as framing or trim. Back Saw A back saw is a relatively short saw with a narrow blade that is reinforced along the upper edge, giving it the name. Back saws are commonly used with miter boxes and in other applications which require a consistently fine, straight cut. Back saws may also be called miter saws or tenon saws, depending on saw design, intended use, and region. Bow Saw Another type of crosscut saw, the bow saw is more at home outdoors than inside. It uses a relatively long blade with numerous crosscut teeth designed to remove material while pushing and pulling. Bow saws are used for trimming trees, pruning, and cutting logs, but may be used for other rough cuts as well. Coping Saw With a thin, narrow blade, the coping saw is ideal for trim work, scrolling, and any other cutting which requires precision and intricate cuts. Coping saws can be used to cut a wide variety of materials, and can be found in the toolkits of everyone from carpenters and plumbers to toy and furniture makers. Crosscut Saw Designed specifically for rough cutting wood, a crosscut saw has a comparatively thick blade, with large, beveled teeth.

  • How to Install
    How to Install What you’ll need: Pencil • Level • Square • Compressor • Pin nailer or Finish nailer • Safety Glasses Chop Saw or handsaw with higher tooth count • Gloves • Tape Measure • Marking Chalk ¾” Headless pin Nails All items available at your local Home depot Step 1 - Estimate Materials Rewoodd Paneling is 3/8”x 5”x 12”- 48” in size, our product is tongue and grooved for easy installation. First measure the total square footage of the wall or area to be paneled. If there are any doors or windows in the space, subtract the area needed for them and divide the remaining number by 20 to determine how many boxes you need to buy. For example- 12’x12’ wall = 144 sq. ft. 144/20= 7.2. You’ll need 8 boxes. Remember to subtract sq. footage on doors and/or windows. Step 2 – Prepare the Walls When paneling over a solid back, you’ll need to make any necessary repairs first so that wall is flush and even. Step 3 - Measure and Cut the Panels Do a dry run with the panels to see how they all line up, and rearrange them as needed to get the best result. Mark the backs of the panels or lay them back down in the order they were arranged so when they are secured to the wall, it is done correctly. Start from the top and draw a few lines on the wall with a level to set up the beginning of installation. You’ll need to cut the panels to fit any type of fixture, window, or doorway.

  • Squirrel Box Instructions
    Step-by-Step Instructions on How to Make: Squirrel Boxes Materials: -3/4” untreated pine or cedar board, 8’ x 10’ (one 8’ plank will make one box and 10” wide wood is really 9 ½”, sometime even 9 ¼” so ask for true dimensions) -2” galvanized wood screws -sandpaper -hinges (2 small ones per box) -water-based wood stain (optional but recommended) Tools: -work surface where wood can be secured while sawing or drilling -circular saw* -jig saw* -sander * -drill and drill-bits* -goggles (for when using power tools) -gloves (optional but helpful for when handling wood) -paintbrushes -hammer (for creating “toe holds” on front piece) Instructions: *Before using power tools, make sure you read all tool instructions and follow safety guidelines to ensure proper use and safety. 1. Cut wood (most hardware stores, like the Home Depot, will do the cutting for you, just show them the template; however, they will only make cuts going one direction, so other additional cutting will have to be done yourself) 2. Make additional cuts (slants and holes) using saw. 3. Sand all rough edges with a sander until they are smooth and not splintery. •Steps 4 through 6 are optional but highly recommended to extend the life of the cage and make it easier to clean. 4. Paint all pieces of wood, including all the edges, with 1 coat of water-based stain. 5. Let stain dry. 6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 for second coat of stain. 7. Assemble bottom and sides to make a box, if some pieces are too long and don’t fit together quite right you can trim them with a circular saw.

  • American Kestrel Nest Box Monitoring Guidelines
    American Kestrel Nest Box Monitoring Guidelines Phase 1: Pre-season check Shortly before the kestrels are due to return (early March), you should do a pre-season check to get the box ready and ensure that it is in good order. 1. Open – If the box was closed for the winter to prevent squirrels, sparrows, and starlings from using it, open it now. 2. Lining – Line the bottom of the box with a few inches of pine shavings or wood chips. Do not use sawdust, as it will not insulate the eggs properly, and do not use cedar shavings, as these are toxic to young birds. 3. Inspection – Inspect the box and its mounting pole. Do any parts appear cracked or broken? This is the time when a replacement box can be erected – once the season starts, it will be much harder. Phase 2: Early breeding season During the early breeding season (from late March onward), all that needs be done is to assess whether the box has been selected by kestrels. One hour-long visit every two weeks should be sufficient. If the box is likely to be taken over by House Sparrows or starlings, weekly visits should be made to check for these invasives. If kestrels are seen going in and out of the box, you may well have nesting kestrels. If squirrels, starlings, or House Sparrows are seen, the box may have been invaded. Observe for a time, and if you determine that another animal is using the box, wait for the adult animals to leave. Once the adults are outside, simply close the box.
