Description

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. Read more

    • Great book for building birdhouses
Easy to follow diagrams and instructions for building simple as well as complicated birdhouses. I am very pleased with the purchase.

    • Easy does Not mean for Beginners
This is a great book if you already know how to read drawings, but no step-by-step instruction are included in the individual plans. What it does have is a lot of great ideas and information, such as how to build a hinged pole to make cleaning easy and what size hole to bore for the type of bird you want to nest. The drawings illustrate how to make the birdhouses easy to clean and maintain, as well as dimensions for each part. If you have made at least half a dozen woodworking projects, you can make the "easy" birdhouses. If you are an intermediate level woodworker, you can make the "advanced" projects. ... show more

    • Making Birdhouses Easy and Advanced Projects by Gladstone Califf
This book has 79 pages, is about 6.25" high by 8.75' wide. It has 34 different drawings for "advanced project" birdhouses and 18 additional drawings for "easy" to build birdhouses. These drawings provide adequate dimensions and information that a person familiar with woodworking could build each birdhouse. I like the easy to build designs better because they look more traditional, some of the advanced designs are a little more unusual and more decorative. Besides these individual drawings, it covers general topics related to building birdhouses like: Essentials of a Birdhouse, Finishing Birdhouses, Don'ts for Birdhouse Builders, Ventilation, Cleaning, etc. Besides drawings for Wren, Bluebird, and Martin houses (as well as houses for many other types of birds), it has a paragraph or two on the size and important features of houses for these birds. ... show more
