Intro: Building a Laser Cut Birdhouse
You know what a birdhouse is, I don't need to explain it. However, not apparent to most, a lot of birds are homeless, sleeping on the street, living out of old iPhone boxes
discarded by wannabe hipsters, having to scrounge together to even afford breadcrumbs. I propose a change, I propose we build birdhouses!

The approach in this instructable is to use a laser cutter to make most of the individual pieces for the birdhouse, and assemble it with glue and a few pieces of hardware,
you may know them as screws and hinges.

Material:

Wood, if you don't want to go through the process of flattening, planing and gluing together boards you could just as well use plywood.
Glue
Screws
Hinges
Threadlock

Tools:

A variety of woodworking tools, a bandsaw, jointer and planer would be very handy, as well as a large disc sander
Laser cutter, if you don't own one you may be able to get access at a local Techshop or similar
Sandpaper
Screwdriver

Good luck in your birdhouse building, remember to keep the final area down, so you don't need to apply for planning permission!

Cheers!
