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

Making Birdhouses Easy and Advanced Projects by Gladstone Califf
Format: Paperback
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

Good plans
Format: Paperback
Received book today. Well drawn plans are given in compact book with advanced and beginner projects. I'll be making an advanced birdhouse from this book as a gift for a relative who asked for a more complex birdhouse. Some birdhouses remind me of doll houses I have made as gifts, and birdhouses don't have furniture to make. ... show more
