Step by step direction

Step 1

Draw the size hole you want for the birdhouse entrance onto the

gourd. The bigger the hole, the bigger the bird youll attract.

Step 2

With the 125 high-speed cutter, remove the material for the entrance hole. Smooth the edges with the 952 grinding stone. Recommended speed: 20,000 rpm.

Step 3

Put 4-5 drainage holes into the bottom of the gourd with the 124 high-speed cutter. This will help keep the gourd dry.
