@@elderyoung416 Thanks for watching!

If this is a real question - I would need more specifics ... regarding which part, product, etc. If you simply didn't like the video, fair enough, there are a few others out there on You Tube to enjoy instead.

That was a Ryobi 18 Gauge Brad Nailer. I usually get Ryobi products from Home Depot when they have a bundle sale. I use .5" to 1.25" brad nails for projects to help secure pieces until the glue dries and makes the permanent bond needed. The Gluebot (a.co/d/bmdXHd1) is found on Amazon among other places but sometimes I also simply use plain plastic ketchup bottles too as they are cheaper! Thanks for the questions - and watching my build video! Let me know how yours turns out!

@@RickSawDesigns Dang, the ketchup bottle idea is awesome! I think I have a mustard one I never used. Thanks!

A good line is just a good line!

I really appreciate that! Thanks.

Thanks!!

Thanks - glad you found it useful

Good idea. Since I just sold most of them, I do need to make some more.

Thanks. I like simple projects- especially when I can use recycled materials.

This pallet had simple smooth shank nails in it, but I would guess others may use something a little more sturdy.

I appreciate the comments - I enjoy making the videos.

Glad you liked it!!

It is probably at a 10% tilt but honestly that wasn't in my design plans - just a happy mistake. We have a lot of smaller birds around here so millet, black oil sunflower and other small grains seem popular.

@srosenb2 That is a good idea!

@@hankthompson8615 thanks!

Thanks for watching! I enjoy making them.

I like the commitment!

The quick answer regarding sales numbers is "just about as I thought I would." The more complete answer appears at the end of the video and includes some of the other things I was considering. Thanks for watching!

I get it from Frederick Lumber in Frederick, Maryland. Great folks, large selection.

Thanks for the comment and I'm glad this was helpful! I think we all fear some part of any new venture (in this case maybe that people won't like the products or appreciate your work or that you won't make money) but in the end I think you have to push through to even find out and not let fear win. Everyone has heard the Chinese proverb "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Take those first steps and see what happens. Good luck!

Thanks!

While $100 would suck, proper technique & safety first hopefully avoids this forever. But if it is $100 or a finger... I'll pay the $100 everytime.

Interesting observation. Truthfully, I am not familiar with European makes at all, so I will see what others think on that one. Thanks for commenting and bringing this to my attention!

The extra power and possible kickback power is definitely something to avoid! Proper technique and always keeping safety first has to be a priority.

Thanks! I am expect to use it on a regular basis.

You make some really good points here. As a woodworker some of the business/legislative stuff involved is disheartening for sure. For those who don't know about the debate/challenges with SawStop technology go ahead and tune into some videos from others to get the details. I think two folks I go to all the time - Stumpy Nubs (ruclips.net/video/nxKkuDduYLk/видео.html) and 731Wooodworks (ruclips.net/video/EZ6yGis38R4/видео.html) do a good job getting into it. I can see the business that developed the technology wanting to protect its patents because that is probably the most profitable way to move forward (although licensing it to other manufacturers might also work well too.) I can understand a legislative desire to have less people seriously injured (per NPR, the United States sees around 30k table saw injuries each year that require medical treatment) but if ALL manufacturers have to use this technology it will significantly increase prices for everyone. And it could even force workplaces use only new technology saws going forward too. From an individuals standpoint (like yours here) I can also see that you want to be able to make that choice for yourself too. Thanks for the comment lexugax.

Thanks - I appreciate the comment.

Thanks!

Oooh- Good question! My wife saw one and wanted me to make one so I decided to make a video to show how to make them. Do you think they would sell?

Only if they are easy to fill and don’t clog.

@@RickSawDesigns Probably

I appreciate it. I wanted to provide folks with some of my thinking in the hopes that it helps them, too.

Good choice!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks

It is flowing out just fine and the birds (and squirrels!!) are enjoying it! If you are concerned with the size of the seed you can certainly get smaller sized seed too.

​@@RickSawDesignsprobably thinking of condensation and stickiness of seed?Nice idea.

That and how hard is it to fill inless you cut the bottom off the bottle.

@@thomasj.calkins4662 Thanks for watching and the comment! I too was worried about that practical side when I was considering design. You will notice the "top/roof" is thin (so it doesn't really protect from weather but is just used for aesthetics.) Therefore, you can easily remove the bottle when it is empty. To refill it, simply tilt it out of the two holders, refill using a funnel (or a rolled up paper plate in a pinch) and replace.

Thanks!

@@blackwingvisuals5017 I used a hole saw - quick and easy. I cut halfway through, flip board and then complete cut from other side for a nice clean cut. A spade bit would work but would need another backer board under it to avoid "blowout" on the backside.

@@jerrystark6766 Thanks!

Thanks! I wanted to make something others could duplicate easily.

Great idea with the Sharpie - there are always new and smarter ways to do things if you are open to them.

Yeah, either way, cutting the line or leaving the line is ok. I guess one question would be about the marks on the tape measure. Would you mark on the left side or the right side of it. They are probably around a 1/16”, so not much, but if you pick one side and use it to measure where the piece is going and use the same side to measure the piece, then all is good. And if using a roll up tape as opposed to a steel rule, it doesn’t hurt to check the hook on the end of the tape occasionally. The holes can wobble out in time and your outside measurement might not be quite the same as the inside measurement. And make sure the hook is pushed in or retracted when doing an inside measurement. Again it’s not going to be much, but if you’re looking for exact it might be enough. The main thing is to be consistent. Measure everything the same way, try to use the same measuring device for the entire project, and use the same marking tool whether it be a sharpie, mechanical pencil, marking knife or whatever.

Thank you very much!

Thanks so much - I really appreciate that! More videos are on the way!

I was going back through my videos and thought I should comment back to you now that I have completed a second sale day. The atmosphere was very different (an Oktoberfest vs. this Yard Sale) and I was pleasantly surprised at the difference. Basically, I had an audience more interested in what I was offering. I will take your good advice and absolutely do more craft shows and likely avoid flea markets/yard sales. Thanks!

Ha - thanks! I'm not sure it stylish at all - but it is very practical for keeping things close at hand. Thanks for watching!

Yes I did

I did not actually - and I checked my spam folder too. The correct email address is under my profile for this RUclips account. Please send there!

Glad you liked it! Honestly, the chalkboard paint was my customer cool vision - I just made it happen!
