MK108 - Lee Valley MIY Bird Feeder Kit
This item is not available for this region.
We’ve all heard the saying “If you build it, they will come.” This bird feeder project will not only attest that it applies to birds, but also provide a satisfying opportunity to develop your marking and measuring skills.
You will begin by lightly sanding the Douglas fir lumber pieces before using different measuring and marking techniques to make the bird feeder. You will also learn the importance of drilling pilot holes, how to cut wood with a Japanese utility saw, and how to install assorted hardware. Since no finish is required, you can fill the feeder with bird seed as soon as you have built it … and watch them flock to your feeder.
The bird feeder project takes approximately 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 hours to complete and is suitable for skill levels from beginner to intermediate, appropriate for ages 14 years and up.
This well-thought-out kit includes everything you need to make it yourself, including the hand tools. Components are listed under the Specifications tab. You will also have access to the step-by-step video and a downloadable copy of the written instructions.
