cranbrook2 20th May 2006, 07:46 AM Hi again everyone
here are a few more projects i just finished this week. they are pretty simple designs. i am working on a web site where i will be selling patterns and kits of extreme birdhouses and lawn ornaments.
the designs will be easy enough for most wood workers to figure out :D
thanks again

DPB 20th May 2006, 09:45 AM Ron, I love the extreme birdhouse behind the van.:D
PuppyPaw 20th May 2006, 01:47 PM does it come with zoned central heating? the birds around our area are a little more picky.. hehhe
bloody brillient bird houses.
cranbrook2 20th May 2006, 11:12 PM Thank you gentlemen
I was out side yesterday and there are a lot of little birdies sticking their heads out out of the holes.:D
Scally 20th May 2006, 11:43 PM Pretty cool looking birdhouses John.
Your plans are sure to be popular.
Good luck.
Stuart 21st May 2006, 12:19 AM Some nice work there. Funny how one quick look at the photos, and you can pick it being North America!
Then there is the old Pontiac Firebird which is a dead giveaway!
cranbrook2 21st May 2006, 01:30 AM Thank you Stuart and Scally.
i have been getting lots of hits on my web shots site. i got 30,000 hits alone yesterday .
i have been getting lots of request for patterns so i might as well give it a shot.:D
thanks again

Sounds like these pattern requests you are getting justify starting a bit of a eBook venture and making some money from it all.
If you are looking at writing a book about it, get in contact with Fox Chapel Publishing http://www.foxchapelpublishing.com/
They are very supportive of new authors. (Don't get daunted - I see this being right down your alley - a book (they are typically about 60 - 100 A4 pages, including the full page photos and plans) on extreme birdhouses!
cranbrook2 21st May 2006, 01:26 PM Thanks Stuart
i have been thinking the same way . i was thinking about doing a book on different styles and how to build them ,would hopefully get some attention.
Thanks for the link, i will be checking it out.
i will send you a free copy if or when it happens.:D

Auld Bassoon 21st May 2006, 06:35 PM Ok John, I give in. I suppose that you're going to tell us that the weekender on the island is just a bigger "Extreme Birdhouse" too, eh? :D :D
Stuart 21st May 2006, 09:18 PM Thanks Stuart

There's a link on their site if you are a budding author. They are very helpful, and encouraging.
