If you are interested in making some money, you can start building birdhouses in your shop. It does not take a lot of tools and your imagination is the main driving force for design. Most birdhouses that you can buy today are made overseas and mass marketed to the larger stores for sale. You just do not see any craftsman sellling something of quality anymore. Craftsman have been replaced with mass manufacturing.

You can develop quite a following on Ebay and other auction sites by having a variety of houses for sale. Most of the time if you offer something truely unique you can do well. This is not really about construction or joinery techniques, its about design and the finish. If you follow any of the home improvement or DIY type of sites, you can get a great idea of what people want and what they will buy. I would not necessarily focus on cheap or inexpensive birdhouses, I would focus on something that is clever or fun to look at in the garden. People will open their wallets faster than you ever imagine when you give them some creativity.
