3 READ THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE To prevent accidents, keep safety in mind while you work. When working on power equipment, keep fingers away from saw blades, wear safety goggles to prevent injuries from flying wood chips and sawdust, wear headphones to protect your hearing and consider installing a dust vacuum to reduce the amount of airborne sawdust in your woodshop. Don t wear loose clothing, such as neckties or shirts with loose sleeves, or jewelry, such as rings, necklaces or bracelets, when working on power equipment. Tie back long hair to prevent it from getting caught in your equipment. People who are sensitive to certain chemicals should check the chemical content of any product before using it. The authors and editors who compiled this book have tried to make the contents as accurate and correct as possible. Plans, illustrations, photographs and text have been carefully checked. All instructions, plans and projects should be carefully read, studied and understood before beginning construction. In some photos, power tool guards have been removed to more clearly show the operation being demonstrated. Always use all safety guards and attachments that come with your power tools. Due to the variability of local conditions, construction materials, skill levels, etc., neither the author nor Popular Woodworking Books assumes any responsibility for any accidents, injuries, damages or other losses incurred resulting from the material presented in this book.

4 Poor indeed is the garden in which birds find no homes. A BRAM L. URBAN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It took a village of people to build the birdhouses and feeders for this book. Here at F+W Publications, I put the word out that we were looking for folks interested in picking a bird, doing research and designing and building a birdhouse or two. The response was great. All the houses were built in the Popular Woodworking workshop. The aim was to see how much fun and creativity we could pack into each project. The builders had a blast. Whether it was designing the project, cutting the wood, assembling or finishing the houses, a good time was had by all. I want to thank all the project builders for their enthusiasm and willingness to jump right in and make things happen. It is our hope that our fine feathered friends will enjoy the new houses and feeders that will be appearing in our area this spring. The last challenge was to get some, if not all, of the builders to hold still long enough for a group photo. Here they are with their creations in hand.
