How to Make a Bat Box | ToolsToday
Click here for complete description
We have a large property and one of the best natural ways to keep mosquitos out is their predator, the bat! Bat’s need a place to call home, so today I’m making a Bat Box with Amana Tool® CNC router bits and saw blades on my STEPCRAFT M.1000 CNC machine.
