About this ebook
This practical guide for building birdhouses contains plans for more than fifty attractive and useful structures — from a one-room house for bluebirds to a forty-two-room structure for purple martins. In addition to instructions and diagrams for constructing houses for such avian varieties as robins, wrens and chickadees, the easy-to-follow text also provides suggestions for feeding devices, bird house materials, methods of finishing exteriors, and winter care for birds.
An authoritative, how-to book that will appeal to beginning and veteran woodcrafters alike, Making Birdhouses also features a supplement with easy projects for novices — among them simple structures for woodpeckers, a box for robins, and an “A-frame” for nuthatches. Plans for houses made from such common objects as gourds, a flower pot, tin cans, and an old lantern are also included.
Detailed instructions and diagrams assure successful completion of projects that will satisfy builders as well as their feathered friends.

Neat ideas. But a more modern book with clearer blueprints might be better. Even trying to zoom in on the prints won't get a better view. The print design appears to be like those from when everything was hand drawn. Good and clean for its time, but a digitally designed print would make this so much easier to actually plot out what you need and how much to cut for sure. Perhaps if there was a way to save each print as a file and clear it up, even better. But in the current state of trying to use the book, I'd rather just plot the job out in my own brain and run with creativity than force a squint at blurry measurements.

Giant RIPOFF! I bought the set and I cannot zoom in for the dimensions to make. How or can I get a refund? These are USELESS to me!

Cut list is blurry and difficult to read.
