honey dibbers not,,,,

[delabodge]

well went to the workshop with good intentions to make some honey dibeers,,but when searching for some suitable timbers decided a clean up was more relavant,,found various bits and bobs I keep moving from one place to another,,,so thought sod it,,,,,,bird boxes it is,,,,all made from odds and sods,,,,,as there going round a carp lake decided to add some 32 & 35mm ali plates to protect them from woodpeckers/squirrels etc,,,,,,,did manage to part turn 20 dibber blanks,,pics to follow,,,

first couple are for robins /wren/pied wagtails etc,,,then its the lakeland boxes,,,then a selection of part finnishd tit boxes,,,,busy busy,,,plus some bug boxes,,,,

(mutley,,,oil burners are next week,,,will post when can,,,,tree work calls unfortunately,,)

hi Ian, I chose galvanised index screws,,so I can take down the boxes as and when the notorious squirrel problem attacks the boxes,and there positioned on an ancient lime walk,which has a three yr restoration project,,so probably going to get pollarded anyway,,,as you can see I added some 32mm and 35mm plates to try and beat the squirrels,,,
