Intro to Woodworking: Build the Perfect Bluebird HouseA neighbor of the studio in Charlton brought them an old birdhouse that had seen years of successful service but was ready to be retired. She wanted to make another just like it because it had worked so well for her and her birds. Main Street Studio looked closely at the design and decided to make a workshop out of it! This way many people can go home with a nesting box that has been proven to work locally in Charlton, helping to reestablish the American Bluebird in our area.
This workshop will teach basic woodworking skills like measuring, cutting, drilling, carving and assembly with weatherproof fasteners. We'll work with our native and abundant white pine. We'll learn some tricks to help keep the insides of the nesting box dry for our little blue friends. Lastly, we'll learn how this design helps to deter predators and competitors, as well as help the little fledglings get out of the nest and take their first flight.
This workshop is ideal for beginners, or for those that just need some space and quiet time to complete a simple project. Kids over 12 are welcome with an accompanying parent or guardian.
Cost: $65
