Very happy I got this book, lots of great ideas to build birdhouses. I love the simple styles since I'm not into really fancy birdhouses. Comes with patterns and measurements, and lots of great info about what birds prefer, like the size of the house and size of the hole to attract different birds. Has the plans for a butterfly house I want to try, and a roosting ledge that I think the morning doves would like. Also want to build a purple martin house, I know they eat lots of mosquitoes.In the back of the book there are some plans for building a few fancier birdhouses. May try some of those, too, I think they would make great gifts. My favorite one is the one shaped like a doghouse, really like that one.5/5/11 Ordered another one for my dad for Father's Day!
The title say it all, good information on what birds like, material to use and the plans are easy to follow and buid.
This book "Easy to Build Birdhouses - A Natural Approach: Must Know Info to Attract and Keep the Birds You Want" by A. J. Hamler a Popular Woodworking Paperback, is 143 pages of colorful pictures and bird house designs. There is even a house designed like an old Box Camera, with viewer hole, winder and pushbutton. This is one of my most visual Birdhouse Books, recently purchased to sate' my desire to buy everything out there on bird houses. Some of these houses laid out in the book are quite basic, like a nesting box for ducks mounted on a pole and then there are several designs that are almost like works of art, detailed, painted like a newly built home and with details that rival the doll houses made for a favorite little girl. These are not necessarily in the line of a natural approach, but they are attractive and well built. Each house is shown as completed in a full page color picture of it, where the author has it mounted for use and display. Feeders are also shown in finished built pictures of full of feed for the birds to enjoy. If you are a visual person and like to page through these types of books this book is for you. If you want plans, complete with material lists, size descriptions and bird specific layouts, this book may fall short of what you are looking for and other books may please you more, I wanted more for detail, thus I will continue to look for more, ever more to purchase, usually used, to have for my collection of building books, not just birdhouses, but almost everything out there. Enjoy!
This is a nice book with easy to follow step by step instructions. It also has good photographs that follow the instructions and of the completed product. Bird information was good to have a well.
Got this for my father-in-law who enjoys watching birds and building bird houses. He liked the book well enough though I think their wasn't a ton of unique designs. The plans that I saw looked pretty detailed.
An easy to read book with easy to follow plans. Gives you the information you need to build the right style of bird house for the type of bird that will be interested in nesting in it. I found it to be extremely helpful.
I love bird houses and the book has a right good many in it. I am completely satisfied with my purchase.
Easy plans to follow. You need to check for birds in your area as birds are not attracted to the same type of house.
