Interesting. Several things on that site I could make. I thought the
angle
steel top was a bit over the top as it were. I may well do the plant
pot
bird house though, and some knobs.

At almost £52 each, I think the price is way way OTT


I quite agree, but I'm going to have a go at the flowerpot nest box.


Not very elegant, and I can't see the bolt and wing nut arrangement
working very well in practice


I think the answer to that is to use a length of studding, fixed to a board,
with a nut and big washer securing the plant pot to the board, then the wing
nut at the end, and fix the board to your wall/tree/whatever.
