Easy does Not mean for Beginners,
This review is from: Making Birdhouses: Easy and Advanced Projects (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
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.

Making Birdhouses Easy and Advanced Projects by Gladstone Califf,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Making Birdhouses: Easy and Advanced Projects (Dover Woodworking) (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.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book,
This review is from: Making Birdhouses: Easy and Advanced Projects (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
I ordered this for my parents and it was just what they were looking for. I also purchased 2 other books on Birdhouse's and they were just as good.
