Circuit Board Birdhouse
Happy Monday Everyone... All the snow in my yard has melted. Yippee.... In celebration I am sharing a circuit board birdhouse.
I started with a thrift store birdhouse. My son helped me dismantle an old satellite receiver box and salvage the circuit board. I traced the birdhouse front, back and sides on a piece of paper to get my pattern. I taped my pattern on the circuit board and cut out all my pieces and glued them to the birdhouse. After the glue had dried completely, I taped all edges with copper foil tape. Finally, I used my trusty (not) soldering gun and soldered all edges. My soldering skills are sad, but with practice I think this could be a really cool project...
Recycle, Reimagine, Repurpose, Reuse...............
Have a great week...
Keep On Junking

How original---this is great!! I love the electronic stuff too. My son and I took apart a few keyboards from the recycling center but haven't done anything with the parts as of yet.
ReplyDeletevery cool, I've seen a clock before, but never this. You know I like to use old computers, too. You do great stuff! Lezlee
