| This project is clearly a woodworker's favorite. What better way to hail your guests and showcase your woodworking talent. The decoration possibilities are truly endless. One customer put a revolving light with a timer on his lighthouse. Full size plans for all curved pieces are included with this time tested plan, along with step by step instructions, a list of materials, photos, and measured drawings. The lighthouse can stand by itself with no improvements, but as seen in the picture, we recommend a solar light be added to the top of the lighthouse so it becomes a beacon. 5 feet tall.

| A big hit with bird fanciers everywhere, the plans for extra-large birds seem to be a hit. The layered wooden birds are simple to build, each only having a few pieces to cut and fasten together. 24" H x 8" W x 3" D. You'll also get full size, traceable patterns which do not need enlarging, written instructions, and a materials list. A full painting guide is included to paint the project as pictured.

| A different twist on the wishing well project, namely, the arched pitch of the roof. Lap cedar shingles set the project off well with an old world feel. Standing nearly 7' tall, this wishing well is great for large yards or as a centerpiece for your garden. Full size patterns are provided for all curved pieces, plus you get assembly diagrams and easy to follow instructions for construction. Plans include details for the bucket, too! 
|
| You can add a flare of embellishment to your lawn or garden by building this beautifully detailed multi-leveled birdhouse. There are 10 doorways for the birds to enter on three levels. Easily opened for cleaning, this is one 5-star bird hotel that will last for years of enjoyment and will garner admiration from all. 45" tall from scrolled braces to the top of the roof. Just beautiful. 
|
| Beginners need not fear this project. Full size patterns, instructions, and diagrams see that your trouble is minimized. The wishing well stands 41" tall, so it's a great size for gardens and flowerbeds, but perhaps not the best choice for the middle of a large yard. Build from cedar as pictured for outside weathering. Project is inexpensive to build and you can do it in one weekend. We have plenty more wishing well plans, so look around!

| You will have fun tinkering with the several options these plans provide. The plans detail two beautiful feeders: both an octagon (18" x16") and a hexagon (16" x 21"). Also included are details for two different styles of portable bases -- all is pictured to the left. These are large birdfeeders which can accomodate many birds at once. The finished pieces are exquisite enough to grace most any yard. Plans come with full size patterns for curved pieces, plus you get instructions, material lists, and assembly diagrams.

| Here's a unique lighthouse plan which puts a twist on a classic woodworking project by adding a curator's dwelling at the base of the tower. Crazy woodworkers may end up adding lighting even to the curator's house -- we've seen some very creative renditions of this plan. Large, easy to read measured drawings are provided with the plan, along with full size patterns for any curved pieces, a list of the materials you need, plus instructions. Decorating options are limitless. Use solar lighting (now very cheap) to avoid electrical wiring. 
|
| You can be sure you will be getting patterns which are clearly illustrated and easy to understand. We have designed the 30" diameter water wheel to be made from 1x6 cedar so it is inexpensive to make and balances better than other designs. New bearing system assures smooth continuous trouble-free operation. Uses an economical non-submersible water pump which lowers your building cost and reduces maintenance. Measures 53" H x 28" D.
