Wild and Wacky Birdhouses and Feeders

While the designs may appear whimsical to human eyes, the 18 birdhouses and feeders described in this book are designed to attract birds to your yard and provide them safe, protected places to dine and dwell.

It gives an overview of the general requirements of birdhouses and feeders, along with tips on construction, weatherproofing and finishing, and includes step-by-step instructions for making nine birdhouses, six birdfeeders and even three squirrel feeders. Each can be made using basic woodworking skills and tools commonly found in a home workshop, and includes a color photo, cutting diagrams and patterns, an exploded diagram to aid with assembly, a materials list and finishing suggestions.

Good projects for introducing children to woodworking.
