This practical guide for building birdhouses contains plans for more than fifty attractive and useful structures — from a one-room house for bluebirds to a forty-two-room structure for purple martins. In addition to instructions and diagrams for constructing houses for such avian varieties as robins, wrens and chickadees, the easy-to-follow text also provides suggestions for feeding devices, bird house materials, methods of finishing exteriors, and winter care for birds.
An authoritative, how-to book that will appeal to beginning and veteran woodcrafters alike, Making Birdhouses also features a supplement with easy projects for novices — among them simple structures for woodpeckers, a box for robins, and an “A-frame” for nuthatches. Plans for houses made from such common objects as gourds, a flower pot, tin cans, and an old lantern are also included.
Detailed instructions and diagrams assure successful completion of projects that will satisfy builders as well as their feathered friends.
Very disappointing plans. Very basic blueprint layout drawings. Would not recommend for the beginner or anyone not able to understand blueprints with no other explanation. Was expecting something a lot better. Very dissatisfied with this book.
Because of this they are useless. Perhaps the paperback version would be better In the kindle version the diagrams are too small to read and there is no way to make them larger. Because of this they are useless. Perhaps the paperback version would be better.
Easy it wasn’t Easy it wasn’t. My experienced woodworking husband attempted to build this according to the dimensions which were not doable. He had to alter the measurments in order for the walls to align. I lost interest as we weren’t getting very far. Guess I will just buy the darn things.
