Birdhouses are a favorite project among woodworkers. Made of inexpensive materials, they are quick to build and a pleasure for the whole neighborhood. Easy to Build Birdhouses includes 26 fun projects for woodworkers of all skill levels.

   • Part 2 shows how to make birdhouses using natural materials to help them blend in with their surroundings.
   • Part 3 shows how to make bird feeders that help attract birds.
   • Part 4 provides examples of colorful and whimsical birdhouses, like a lighthouse and a Cape Cod bungalow, that are a little more advanced.
