Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
YA Even beginnersworking only with hand toolscan build these over 40 durable and attractive projects, including simple window feeders, three-story nesting boxes, shingled houses and even a wooden birdbath. Diagrams (front, back, side and bottom), measurements and directions, with photos for each step along the way, are excellent for woodworking classes. A chapter is devoted to food favored by different birds. The format will attract readers: large print, full-page illustrations and many line drawings, diagrams and photos of finished projects.

VERY POOR EXCUSE FOR A BOOK,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Making Birdhouses & Feeders (Paperback)
I rate the book a 1. It is lame. Section on hammers, saw & tools is totally unnecessary. There are a few things copied from Shopsmith which let me know this is a book that was mostly researched then republished, and a poor job of it! There is a conversion chart no doubt copied from another source that has nothing to do with building bird houses/feeders. There is even a feeder inside made of UGLY and splintery wafer board! C'mon! Plans are poor and unprofessional. The picture on the cover only lures you in to buy a very bad book. It would have been much better to have a book of plans for each species of bird with finished pictures and detailed plans. This book does not do that. Most of us wanting to build something from wood to put in our yards want it to look very pleasing, ( a wafer board feeder is not pleasing!) while attracting the birds we most want to see and hear. I wish I had not wasted my money!
