2. Sand the boards with a sanding block.
3. Measure the center of the 7 1/4” block and draw a small line with a pencil.
4. Set the saw at a 45° angle and cut the top of the 7 1/4” block twice at a angle to make a point.
5. Sand the new edges.
6. Start building the bird house by laying the 8 1/2” board down.
