My Mother's partner (Mother's lover) can make anything from scratch. One day I asked him to make me a couple of rustic birdhouses. I had a lot of interest from friends and we started custom making them. When the demand grew and the males in my life got busy with life on the farm, I decided I'd take matters into my own hands and asked for a drop saw for Christmas. 

I now design and make all of the birdhouses from scratch.
