Making Birdhouses: The Ultimate Little Bird-Lover's Handbook

Rating:
Summary: Decent little book
Review: I've seen larger books with more plans, but this book does a pretty good job covering different houses and construction techniques. I wish it were a bit larger, covering different bird types, but, as an idea starter, was pretty good. I'm not into expensive finishing, so most of mine stop short of the touchy/feely bird home designs covered in the book. From this book and other designs found on the internet, I have been able to build several successful bird houses of my own design. I have also passed on the plan for building a glass bird feeder...still waiting for that one to come back to me as a gift.

Summary: Making Birdhouses-The Ultimate Little Bird-Lover's Handbook.
Review: What a fun little book. It's full of decorative ideas for your garden, as well as for your little bird friends. Besides the "thatched flint cottage" and the "folk art titmouse box" birdhouses, there are plans for a rustic feeder and and a very pretty copper bird bath. Plus a whole lot more. The only thing I didn't like about this book was that these creations are put together with a hot glue gun. While, this is simple enought to over come (if you can squeeze the trigger on a glue gun...you can probably squeeze out a little water proof glue and tack in a small finishing nail or two.) Most of the designs are not very complicated. This little book is defininitely worth every penny of the small price.
