Small Christmas Star DIY - easy build
Просмотров 4902 года назад
Hi Friends! Some of you have asked how to make the small star shown in an earlier video. Here's how to do it. Sorry for the crappy audio in the first scene. I shoot with what I have and what I have has a crappy microphone. This video is short and fast-paced as I’ve gotten to dislike videos that waste time. I’m grateful to the viewers of my humble videos. With the billions posted, I love that yo...
Hand-feeding friendly Pine Siskins
Просмотров 1003 года назад
We have an irruption of Pine Sikins at the feeders. Normally every winter we have a few, but this time we have a few hundred. Here is one eating out of my hand. They do not seem to be afraid. There is something magical when one alights, looks you in the eye, and then starts eating. I wish everyone could experience it. In this video the rain has just ended. You can hear the water dripping in the...

How to build a lighted Cross for Christmas
Просмотров 21 тыс.11 лет назад
How to build a 6-foot-tall Cross using 1x2-inch lumber and a 25-bulb string of the old-style incandescent C-9 Christmas Lights. It can be hung from a limb or on the wall of a house. Basic handy-man skills and tools are needed. Incandescent lights are used because I can't find C-9 LED bulbs with a flat bottom, and a flat bottom is required. Thanks for watching my first how-to video! p.s. - no au...
If you don't care about rotating anf just want hanging targets, you could just start with an empty milk crate or even a cardboard box laying on it's side, open face towards you. Then take any size target out of wood or snipped tin, drill 2 holes on top side by side and hang that target on the top of the open hole by 2 strings... Voila, your targets will face forward always because of the 2 strings. You could do the same with a tin can.
Great idea. We are trying to come up with a solution so the crows can eat and the cats can’t sneak up on them. Can’t wait to build a feeder like this one! But we don’t use kill traps for mice or rats, we use non-lethal traps that are cheap and work every time. We just take them to the edge of the woods and let them go. Of course mouse-proofing is a better idea since they’re food-driven. They make metal cans with lids to hold bags of bird food, and mice can’t access them.
Yea my air rifle would go straight through 😂
I'll see if I can come up with something more bulletproof!
That looks perfect for 1.77 bbs though amazing contraption 👍🏼
This was AWESOME! Big thank you.
Thanks for watching!
made this for my dad. he has wanted one since i was very little. turned out awesome!!
do you have measurements for a 3 foot star?
great video how did you get the pole to stay in the ground? thanks...
I drive a short piece of pipe (about 1 foot /30 cm long) into the earth. Pull it out and stick the long pipe (with feeder) into the hole. Thanks for watching.
I made this as a Christmas gift for my mother a few years ago. It was a great idea and looks nice on the roof of the barn.
Awesome Mr Dickus2, I am truly delighted that it worked out for you. (Great user name!)
@@southernrrman thank you. I love Monte Python 🙂
I love your video, I’ve had a vision of doing this, but no idea how to carry it out. What should I do if I want to stake it in the ground?
I would find something to use as a stake. An old metal fence post, 1/2" electrical conduit, angle-iron, rebar. The use cable ties to strap the cross to the stake. Thanks for watching.
Love this idea! But I’m not too good with my conversations from inches to mm. But what would the hole dimensions be for 35 inch conduit?
Sorry for the late reply. I would fine an on-line inch to mm calculator and use that. Thanks for watching.
Love it. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
would the 7 foot star fit inside of the 10 ft star? I have had just the 10 ft star on the top of my garage for the past 3 years and want to make it look different for this year.
It should fit, give it a try. Thanks.
@@southernrrman will post a video on my channel around Christmas with my whole show walkthrough. should look nice with the double star.
Hello Sir. Can you please tell me what the eye bolt holds in place?
I use the eye bolts to attach the rope for hanging.
What a great video to share. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words!
I have a couple pieces of a plastic cutting board leftover from another project. I think that could work with this idea. I could pick up another cutting board also
As long as it's thick enough to drill for the pivot, I think you will be okay.
How to put the 10 on wheels or stand alone
This was really helpful thank I for sharing
Thank you! It is soooo cool! im doing this for my Eid celebration.
I got an additional Ring camera to watch the birds.
That's a great idea!
I'm so glad to see this idea. I have long wanted to make a feeder that would house my trail cam. Thank you!
Glad you like it.
Thank you for a great video. I have made several of your stars over the years. This year I adapted and made a few Star of David’s.
⭐🌟nice 2 star christmas
OMG, I just spent an entire afternoon trying to work out sizes and angles for this Christmas Star. Your presentation is perfect, understandable and best of all I'm able to follow it. Except for the welding, I got this covered. I'll be getting this done this weekend, many thanks for your time and explanation.
What is the distance between the two holes where they attach to metal bracket? Looks like 3/4” the 2-3/4”.
I am having trouble understanding your question. Which point in the video are you looking at? I will help as best I can.
Where the conduits attach to the to the hub. One bolt hole attaches to metal bracket to other hole attaches to another conduit.
Great job
Looks great enjoyed it
Great job

Outstanding. I truly appreciate how well-done the video is plus all the measurements. I will make a couple this year for certain. Thanks for sharing.
this is awesome and will be perfect for me as i just started in the airsoft hobby
I tried with your measurements and can’t even get it close to line up.
Nice project!!!
Thanks very much!
Very well done thanks
Sir, thank you for sharing these plans. I built one for our church’s Christmas Eve Service. I took a photo and would love to show you if you are comfortable sharing your email address. Thanks again. Ben
Would love to see it. romancarrolton@yahoo.com

Great instructions I am going to do this 😀 thank you
Great! I'm sure you'll love it.
Hello from Eastern Washington State! I'm planning to build the 10-foot star for Christmas this year. Anyone have an idea on what the exact length of rope light would be? I found a place that sells custom cut rope light. I'm estimating about 32-feet, but I'm terrible at math. If I don't get a response from anyone, Plan-B is to build it, measure it and then order the proper length. Thanks in advance!
I would go with plan B!
@@southernrrman Okay. Thanks.
Awesome! Love ingenuity!
Thanks!
THOSE .....spin way better than the ones on Amazon !
Thanks!
Very nice
Thanks so much!
To compute hole locations for any length of conduit: - first, mark locations for the 2 end holes - measure distance ("X") between these two locations - for distance from each end mark to its respective inner mark: multiply "X" by 0.382 (round to nearest 1/16" I'm guessing) (0.382 = sin(18deg)/sin(54deg) for you engineer types :) That's it! so for the 10' star example: distance between endpoints: 115.25" - 0.75" = 114.5" distance between each endpoint and its respective inner point: 114.5" x 0.382 = 43.739" (round to 43.75") so, measuring from left to right: mark 1 = 0.75" mark 2 = 0.75 + 43.75 = 44.5" mark 3 = 115.25 - 43.75 = 71.5" mark 4 = 115.25"
My 6 foot star measurement doesn't match his 6 foot star measurement. For a 72" overall what do you get?
loved this video!!!!
really makes me want to set up something similar. You made it look so easy!!!
@@amalrashid6682 You should go for it! It was lots of fun.
Nice Video. Thank you
