Pen giveaway free plans and happy birds

Note: The Inspiration Project will return next Tuesday.*****
Got a note from 14-year-old Marcus Vandendaele from Harrisonville, Missouri who has been woodworking for two years. He makes a variety of projects, but has been earning an income selling his hand made pens. Hes already sold over 60 of them!

One of the toughest parts of running a business is getting the word out about what you do. Marcus doesnt have a web site, but maintains a Facebook page and is encouraging people to like it by holding a giveaway. All you need to do is like his page by August 31 and hell randomly select three winners. Whats he giving away? These two pens and a keychain. Head over and support him!

Wait, whats this? Marcus made one of my porch swing bird feeders too! 

Not only is it a fun project build, but it makes for a smooth transition into...

Frank Tartes outhouse bird feeder! Hes been making and selling these for about $40. 

He also took the time to make up some free plans. Download them now, go forth and build bird feeders!

And finally, heres something that may give you some more avian inspiration. Bill Wilson sent me over a picture of some wacky bird houses his uncle makes. (Another porch swing bird feeder in there too!) But I just love these houses. They remind me of Dr. Seuss.
