I must have had crappy Lincoln logs when I was a kid because the eves were
made of plastic. Great video David
Awesome.
David! These are brilliant! Cheers, Joel (:
Lemme guess, Chuck was supposed to make the thunderbird but he never showed
up.
Great video, Dave. It’s so much fun building those model houses. Are you
hanging that thing up in a tree, or what? That would look cool.
That’s one of the best project ideas I’ve seen in a long time! Oh, and the
birds in my neighborhood drive Pontiac Firebirds. And I love the dip stain
technique. It’s way better than messing with brushes or towels.
Awesome. You should have entered in the contest man!
I imagine that the eves would need to be made in a different way if the
intent were to use these for play. A catch at the bottom of each would keep
the roof slats from falling off.
Very nice build on the logs I’m not sure the birds will like it though.
Bird bird. Bird is the word….
Great build! Best of luck with the contest!
This a cool project 🙂 But wont the birds need any light – other from the
door? :)
.do you have an affiliate link for that glue bottle?
What a fun idea,
I wish my kids still played with Lincoln Logs. There getting to old for
them.

In this week’s video I show how to make a birdhouse (with garage) out of
homemade Lincoln Logs!
Great video Dave. And the birdhouse looks cool. My next projects, after
finishing my adventure with my stairs, are for my grandson so I am
building a Lego box, a birdhouse, a pirate chest, and of course a whole
bunch of Lincoln logs. Loved those logs when I was small. Had 4 brothers
so we had a ton of those things. Unfortunately I think quite a few were
lost to a fire in the back yard that we “accidentally” started that also
melted a few Army men standing guard. It involved a chemistry set I got
for Christmas and a plan to make flares for the Army soldiers. Didn’t work
out well.
Great idea. I have 4 kids (I know how you love kids). This will save me
enough for a new table saw. Lol
Awesome! Great video! Do you think it would make things any easier if you
first cut the datos across a length of the 3/4 stock, then rip them into
the 3/4 x 3/4 logs?
Is the car painted Canary Yellow? :-)
This is great David. Gonna make some of these for my kids and show ’em how
we built stuff when we were kids.
Thunderbird looool, cool!!!! Nice project, i loved =D
Liked, and shared. Thanks!
You learn something every day. I’m English and thought that a Lincoln Log
was a type of candy bar.
Great video and project, I am building a set from your plans, I am almost
done with them. Thank you for the great videos and the great projects,
pleas keep them coming.
Why didn`t you make the slots before cutting the individual logs? Much
easier on a bigger workpiece and less chipout.
Off to get a 3/4″ dado bit. Awesome work.

Great video have to let our mutual friend Mr.Potts know you inspired me to
make this for my kids.
Even though my wife can’t stand stepping on them.
David, why did you use your router table to make your dados instead of just
using your table saw to make them?
I love your show but your theme song gets annoying. Just my opinion. :)
Are you insane man?!
Why not dado large pieces first then cut them out? Seems easier.
Anyone have some non toxic, kid safe finishes and colouring they could
recommend for wooden toys?
Awesome Project David!!!
That came out really nice! Cool idea David!
Very nice David, the birds will be happy!
Very cool David, that’s a great looking bird house.
I never even know these existed. If I can persuade them to actually use
them, I will make some for my girls. Thanks for sharing, David!
Meh, this project’s for the birds… I love it though! Very cool, David.
great work ! Love it..
