Cut a piece of timber 75 - 45 - 20.
Mark off the centre lines on both ends and top side.
Mark two more lines either side at the ends 6.5mm either side of centre line.
Drill two 10.00mm holes from either end first to a depth of 25.00mm.
Mark top side with a compass at 25.00mm then again at either side so the tree circles cross over.
Drill the three holes in top to merge with the bottom of the previous 10.00mm holes to leave a solid bottom.
Cover opening with any suitable mesh, I used an old fly screen from a cupboard I kept from years back.
Secure with two drawing pins.
= 1 X queen introductory cage for 50 pence.
