Default 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!

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

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.

going to Okinawa in a few months to visit family, I'm not looking
forward to the flight either :-(

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.
