Build a bird table
You will need: 8X12in plywood board, two strips of wood 10in long and two 6in long, glue, hammer, nailsor panel pins, brush, varnish, four eye-hooks, strings, scissors.
1. Lay the wooden string along the edges of your plywood board, as shown. Now glue the strips of wood into position, so that the ends fit neatly together.
2. When the glue is dry, turn the board over. Carefully hammer nails through it, into the strips. If you find using a hammer difficult , You could ask an adult to help you to do this.
3. Paint the top surface of your bird table with a coat of varnish, to make it waterproof. When this coat is dry, turn the table over, and coat the underside too.
4. Screw eye-hooks into the strips at the four corners of the table. Now cut two pieces of string about 12in long. Tie the ends of the strings to the hooks.
5. Your bird table is now ready to be positioned. Hang it from a tree by easing the srings over a strong branch. Adjust the strings, until the table hangs down evenly.
