The introduction in this book provides helpful information on bird habits, behavior and needs and also shows that it can be wonderfully easy to invite birds into the garden, such as with a simple bird table with tasty nibbles and fresh water on it. Part of the pleasure, however, of having a bird-friendly garden is to be found in the planning and creation of it. Creating Birdhouses contains 30 projects showing how to make everything from individually painted and decorated bird houses to tables, baths, roosting posts and bird feeders. The projects in this book encompass a wide range
of designs, materials and decorations, so you can choose from simple, traditional hand-painted bird boxes, to a recycled wellington boot bird house or a hollowed out log nesting box. There are projects ranging from the classic to the quirky.

Furniture makers craving the freedom to work in the widest range of idioms available, who want to draw on traditional techniques but still go beyond them, will find a wealth of choices in this collection of top projects from Furniture & Cabinetmaking magazine. Each one was devised by practicing cabinetmakers, fine craftsmen all, and the excellent color photographs and plentiful illustrations assure great results. Watch how a classic gets updated in Paul Richardson's modified mule chest: this visually pleasing and sophisticated piece usually opens on top, making it unsuitable for displaying decorative objects and the contents difficult to reach. The solution: alter the paneled front into doors, retaining the design's beauty while increasing practicality. Each of the 24 projects features such ingenious changes. There's something for every taste, from an early 16th-century fashion trestle table to an Arts & Crafts inspired writing desk and dressing table mirror.
