Docupton Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 I printed a bird picture from my printmaster gold program and used it as a pattern, I cut 3 bird shapes, 2x 3mm and 1x 8mm from scrap wood. I drilled a large hole straight through the lower body of the 8mm, and a smaller hole roughly where the legs would be through to the larger hole. All 3 pieces were then glued together with the 8mm in the middle and then painted. Drive a nail into a fence post or tree and insert the head of the nail into the small hole until it enters the large hole. Hey presto a garden bird/ornament. Use any shape bird you like and I'm sure you will do a better job than me, especially with a paint brush. Quote
