Another low-cost / high-profit fence picket item to add to your collection! Everyone loves birdhouses. Especially purple martin boxes... There's just something nostalgic to a handmade wooden martin box. And you simply can't find them anymore... they have been replaced with cheap plastic ones.

In this video, I will show you how to make this large martin box using only 4 fence pickets. Now that's what I call a home-run for any woodworking business or side hustle.

Some have noticed that I wear electronic hearing protection vs traditional muffs and asked why. The reason is that I need to be able to hear my machines in case there are issues as well as be aware if someone comes into my shop (I don't want a jump scare... I like my fingers and hearing). Basically, I can listen to music (blu-tooth version), speak to people, and hear my machine... I can hear everything but at safe levels (any sound over 85 decibels is reduced). They are made for the range but perfect for the workshop! So I worked out a discount for you guys! (Affiliate links help to sponsor the content)
