Jig for making quick & dirty mini birdhouses
Darrell recently posted his method for making mini birdhouses on WC. I
do essentially the same thing, but I hope he will post his method and comments here. I made an aluminum jig that I think speeded up turning repeated batches of the body by one step, tho it limited the hollowed dimension to one size. Nothing more than a short 7/16 in. long X 5/8 in. dia. scored tenon on a #2MT taper for driving the drilled out body. Slob that I am, I have made batches of mini birdhouses from solid light weight timbers such as cedar, even from fir stud cut offs. I'm watching out for the hollowing police! :) Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter http://community.webtv.net/almcc/MacsMusings |

Here in the UK, I suppose we can do many things on the WC but I never
thought of making mini birdhouses on it. Our WC is upstairs next to the bath and washbasin Kindest regards Paul On Wed, 8 Nov 2006 08:41:26 -0500, (Arch) wrote: Darrell recently posted his method for making mini birdhouses on WC.

I am going to try to get the page up tonight. I have no other time for the next three weeks so I will try to get out to the shop and turn and photograph a set. I am on a course for a week and then visiting my daughter in Thailand for two. 21 hours on a plane. My back already hurts :-) The kid is worth it though. -- God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS, Canada http://aroundthewoods.com http://roundopinions.blogspot.com "Tom Storey" wrote in message news:IdB4h.288410$R63.151143@pd7urf1no...

Darrell,
I still don't see this on your site... (OBTW, How was Thailand, We're going to Okinawa in a few months to visit family, I'm not looking forward to the flight either :-( Bruce On Thu, 09 Nov 2006 18:06:29 +0000, Darrell Feltmate wrote: Tom I am going to try to get the page up tonight.

My fault about the bird house ornaments, I got distracted and have not made the page yet. Soon. Thailand was incredible. If I had the time and could afford it I would be back in a flash, or at least a long plane ride. Actually the flight was not bad, even for me. I am short and heavy so I do not really fit into economy but I try :-) For me the five hours from Toronto to Vancouver was worse than the nine to Tokyo or the eleven to Bankok. Thai Airways and Japan Airways were wonderful, as was Air Canada of course. The real hit for me was being illiterate for the time in my life. A weird feeling. The folks were great, the food was wonderful, and the prices were low. What more could a person ask? O yeah, it was the dry season so every day was hot and sunny. Fantastic all the way round. When I get a chance to go through them I will get some of the pictures up on the web. Digital cameras are a wonderful curse. Over 1500 pics to go through. -- God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS Canada www.aroundthewoods.com "Bruce Bowler" wrote in message ...
