About the class
Build a Birdhouse with Ben
The best part about woodworking is getting your hands dirty, so this class is designed to be fully hands-on. Join Ben in building a birdhouse: just grab a miter saw or miter box; a drill with a Forstner bit or speed bone; a 1x6 board; a dowel rod; and an eye-hook with either a small chain or some string. With Ben’s help and a little elbow grease, you’ll be feeding birds the same afternoon! (Parental supervision recommended.)
