I checked this book out of the library and built several of the birdhouses. I particularly wanted to build the log house on the cover. Could not believe how detailed and exact the directions were. I still haven't put that birdhouse outside because it turned out so great, we want to look at it. If you follow their directions, you won't go wrong due to the fine pictures that illustrate each step. I'm now buying the book for myself.

I was VERY disappointed in this book. I did not expect a book that had plans for a whopping FOUR birdhouses. Yes, they are quite beautiful, but a bit on the difficult side to make (this is not a book for the novice). The designs are beautiful, but be prepared to spend LOTS of time attempting to make these -some of these have numerous pieces and difficult cuts (especially the wagon wheel bird house). The instructions are good with lots of photographs. I wish there had been plans for more than four birdhouses.

I Found this to be an outstanding book, with complete, easy to follow directions. I have built several of the birdhouses in the book with much success. The photos of Mr Grodskis other birdhouse works of art are inspiring as well. Someday I hope to go see his Birdhouses on Long Island in person. I Highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in wookdworking,from beginner to advanced.
