For my Genius Hour project I am working on a woodworking project. I am making a birdhouse. I have a 3 blueprints of different styles of birdhouses. One is an outhouse, one is a church, and one is a barn. The one I chose to work on first is the outhouse. I chose this one because it is the simplest pattern for a first project. My first step was to order the pattern, and get the materials. The materials are wood, a saw, sandpaper, rebar, a drill, a clamp, a file, and paint. My next step was to trace the pattern onto the wood. Then I cut out the pieces of the pattern on the wood. After that I sanded the pieces so they would be smooth. My next step will be to glue the wood pieces together, and then paint. After it dries, it will be done. Right now I am learning that the stain I chose was much darker than I thought it would be. I learned that is was difficult to stain the smaller, in-between pieces of wood. I learned that stain doesn't cover over wood caulk very well.
