Posted a shop-made ornamental birdhouse mandrel over in the "Shop Made Tools and Machines" forum and was asked to post some of the ornaments. These are for a 92 piece charity order helping fight diabetes. 52(shown) of the 92 are complete. The new mandrel was used on the last ~20 or so. Included a few full size photos that show my typical construction.
The new mandrel, for details see the Shop-made post.

The 52 completed ornaments. Number (10) is the only triple stacker(has a bottom finial) in the lot. It was one of those "opportunities" for a design change we encounter once in a while. lol

Typical variation in construction. The first one with the Box Elder roof is the most dominate shape I make.
For Marvin Hasenak, who mentioned using the Breakheart Expansion mandrels, these designs do not lend themselves to Breakheart use.
