Add a touch of elegance to your yard with this spectacular 30"-high feeder

Elegant, inexpensive and easy to make. Could there be features more appealing in a scrolled project? The ivy leaf scrollwork and the all-white painted finish for this birdhouse, which appeard in Scroll Saw Workshop Summer 2004 (Issue 15) are reminiscent of a 19th-century Victorian home. Yet it’s made from 1/2"-thick exterior plywood so the project is inexpensive to make. 

There were a few errors in the patterns printed in the issue. Corrected patterns are available for download.

There are some lines and a plain rectangle piece I don't understand. If someone has instructions could u email them to krnsprg@gmail.com I'm new at this. I get most of it but there are lines coming off the finished roof on the pattern I don't get and dotted lines and then that rectangle piece thats around 3 by something.

Also to put the roof together do the roof pieces need to b mitered or bevelled to fit together?

Karen, We only uploaded the plans to the site because the patterns printed with the how-to article in Scroll Saw Workshop Summer 2004 (Issue 15) were incorrect. That issue is sold out, but if you contact our customer service department at customerservice@foxchapelpublishing.com (800-457-9112), they can get you a copy of the article for a nominal fee. Unfortunately, it would be a violation of our copyright for someone else to e-mail you a copy of the article. Best Regards, Bob Duncan Technical Editor

Paul Meisel
Paul Meisel's experience in woodworking and design is extensive. During his 10 years as an industrial arts instructor, Mr. Meisel realized the need for project plans that the beginning woodworker could manage. He began designing projects that excited interest in students, yet did not exceed their skill level.

Realizing the need for well-designed plans for the school as well as the home-hobbyist woodworker, he and his wife, Pat, set about creating a mail order company for the distribution of these plans. They took their unique concept one step further by offering many hard-to-find specialty hardware parts. This company, Meisel Hardware Specialties, has become one of the nation's leading project plan and woodworking supply companies. more
