Birdhouses?
Can I get someone to show me some good guides to how to build stable birdhouses, as well as good types of glues, paints to put on them, and wood?
There are an amazing number of books on the subject. Here is one I have:
http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-Birdhouse-Construction-Woodworkers/dp/0486244075/sr=1-3/qid=1165201098/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/103-3113929-8814247?ie=UTF8&s=books
Here’s another:
http://www.amazon.com/New-Birdhouse-Book-Inspiration-Instruction/dp/1592530648/sr=1-1/qid=1165201098/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-3113929-8814247?ie=UTF8&s=books
Just to be safe and environmentally responsible, stick with water-based paints, and ordinary yellow wood glue. Some woods are better outside than others – cypress, redwood, cedar and teak are good. Keep in mind that a good birdhouse is designed specifically for the bird you wish to attract.
