The grooves should have a width of 7 mm. These grooves will hold the front and back sides of the birdhouse. This can be done with a table saw or router with a straight bit and guide.
Therefore, simply saw two pieces of 17 x 20 cm, and make two furrows on each.

Step 2: Bevels

Set the saw to 42 °, and make two bevels, one for each side. At this point, you need to make sure that the grooves are facing down when making bevels.

Step 3: Front and back sides

First, we cut two parts of plywood 6 mm thick (18 x 27 cm).
Then set the saw at an angle of 42 ° and cut two triangles on each side.

Step 4: Down side

For the bottom side of a 12 mm plywood, cut a sheet of 20 x 17 cm. Here we also create two grooves for the front and rear panels. The grooves should be 8 mm on both sides 6 mm deep and 7 mm wide.

For the tap hole, drill a hole with a diameter of 4.5 cm on the front of the birdhouse about 12 cm from the top.
For the pole, it is necessary to drill a hole with a diameter of 8 mm 2.5 cm below the first hole and use a wood glue to insert a wooden hearth 6 cm long.

Step 8: Removable floor for cleaning

Then you need to make a removable piece at the bottom of the birdhouse for easy cleaning. Mark a distance of 2.5 cm from each edge and mark the locations for the holes. Drill holes. Then use a straight bit milling cutter to make a hatch.
Finally, cut a piece of 6 mm plywood, install it in the hole and secure with screws. To facilitate access, you can tighten the hinges and latch.

Step 9: Pruning (not necessary)

Cut four parts and glue around the bottom of the birdhouse, for reliability, nail more with nails.

Step 10: Drainage and ventilation holes

Drill two holes for drainage and ventilation in the bottom. To do this, use a drill with a diameter of 8 mm or 10 mm.

Step 11: Done
