In this beginner class, you will learn to measure, mark, and cut (miter saw) the main parts, create relief cuts for drip edges and cupping relief (tablesaw), as well as assemble (drill, countersink, and screw) a beautiful bluebird box. We will also provide a proven mounting solution that maximizes location options and optimizes your ability to attract the birds
