Well, this is my(kinda) first woodworking project. I was going to take the nephews, up to NY from NM, to the bosses summer cottage to go fishing, but schedules got mixed up and they fell through, so I had to figure out something else for us to do over 2 days with kids that I see like every other year.
I am not sure what I was thinking trying to be a good uncle, and I am sure it goes down as some sort of crime against craftsmanship and woodworking to have a a complete novice as a project manager. But this was our efforts and results.
I let them use the power tools with the exception of the Table Saw, with some real hovercoptering about machine safety.
Built with cedar, a brad nailer and spray painted. UGH i know.
Plans were from mybackyardprojects.com

I see some big smiles so I call that a win! I’m sure the hungry birds will be smiling/chirping too once there’s some food put in the feeders. :)

Get ‘em started early is what i say. As long as you sent them home with a smile and all of their fingers, you played the uncle role perfectly. I hope those bird feeders had tops added before you filled them up or you will be getting inquiries about attracting squirrels before you know it.

Teaching a young person, what can be wrong with that. Good uncle!

Great job – As we say, more than a project was made. Memories made as well. Nice!
