This set is based on a popular children's building set we all grew up with. I always thought they would make an excellent basis for building birdhouses and feeders. The plans have been tailored to use inexpensive dimensional cedar available at any home center. Cedar is naturally insect and weather resistant, and the building set design allows for making the feeder and birdhouse shown in the plans, or any design you can build with the logs. Full color, 33 pages including measured drawings, jig plans and a bird chart to help you attract the birds you want to.
