Birds such as Cardinals and Blue Jays will need a larger area in which to stand. I suggest extending the trough out further, Additionally cut an old bicycle inner tube and tack a piece across the hinge area to keep water from leaking through the roof and ruining the feed,
Very nice! That's a quick way to turn a cheap board in to something MAGNIFICIENT! If birds could speak English, they'd give me an AMEN. Thanks for helping the little critters and educating and inspiring bird lovers.
Very nice, might want to add some purches to extend out a bit on the sides where the food is. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.
Thank you for this easy inexpensive bird feeder, I have started making this with my older Male client with dementia and cancer. He was a tradie, to see his face light up to get back on the tools safely is awesome. I'm not great with social media, could you please send me a link to the bird house for our next project
This is a neat project, im getting ready to try it out with some cedar pickets. they were only $3 each at menards vs $25 ea. for the same size (a little nicer) cedar dimensional lumber boards. I was also looking at their bird feeders, and got an idea to add a suet basket on the side like their more expensive feeders have. I might try adding one to it,, not sure yet or not though. I might make my base 10" long to give them a larger perch too. Will see how much material I have left first though. Thanks for the excellent video!!
PERFECT project for a beginner, or to make with a child or grandchild, and it can be painted and decorated in all kinds of colors. The only limit is the imagination, as long as oil, paint, etc. is "food-safe" aka: wouldn't poison the food!! And remember; always have clean water (and container!) for the animals to drink, and sometimes also take a bath. :D
Love it your video is easy to follow and I’m getting started on making it right now. I watched some other ones and everything was precision and way too complicated for a simple project so I appreciate your video. Looks great I’m going to fancy it up a bit but otherwise it’s perfect. Thanks
Well I don’t know how to add a picture but we made one! My husband used scraps around the garage for our first time and it turned out great. 😊 i’m going to add some 'fancy' to it. Lol
What is the experience with this design with squirrels? I'm thinking the narrower trough outlet for the seeds slows the squirrels down? Thanks for the video.
In response to Mike Ledee. I solved the problem of squirrels climbing up the pole. Put GREASE (ball bearing heavy grease) on the pole. It will not wash off by rain !
I wear one of these instead of my nice wedding ring when I go to work, or when working on things like this, or metalworking, so that my finger doesn't get torn off or the skin peeled off if it gets caught. When I'm not working I wear the real one. The silicone rings only cost about $15-25
I don't have every tool from these many wood projects either but a reciprocating saw, jigsaw, and circular saw have kept me active in making a lot of wood projects. You can forgo a jigsaw but you just won't be able to make some curved cuts . However, it just means, make your cuts more straight and it probably is OK too!
You can use a protractor to get the angles. Eg, a protractor can easily give you the 20-degree angle to cut with. Although the video said that glue was sufficient, but IMO, the tool used in this video that helps more than all the different kinds of saws, is the brad nailer. You can make this project with a hand saw, slower but still possible. But the brad nailer is very useful for doing some small nails into these pieces of wood. Yes, it can be done with nail and hammer also but you would need more balancing and just more care to not bust up a particular side of the feeder.
To us, you are the smartest man in the world! You have brought us the happiness to build the birdhouse within an hour! Thank you!
Grear Job! I like how the roof hangs over the food in case it is raining.
Thank you. Just trying to keep it fresh for the visitors.
As a newbie to woodworking I appreciate the simplicity of this birdhouse and with minimal tools. I can’t wait to make this with my kids!
Great video!
So glad you like it
AWESOME BUILD! I 'll make a couple this weekend.

Great job of simply explaining. Thanks!
I still remember when I meet you at Maker Faire NY. You're such a nice and chill guy. Your content has been also great lately keep it up!
Thanks Angel, It was awesome to meet you too.
You are a nice guy. Glad to know you are out there!
Great video! Explanations were clear and the build was easy to follow.
Gonna need that giant first aid kit
Very nice, might want to add some purches to extend out a bit on the sides where the food is. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.
Thanks for this. I made the same thing out of a scrap fence post. I got birds visiting the morning I put it up.
That's AWESOME

Great video!! My wife wants one so, imma use your video. Thanks!!
This is a reliable birdhouse!
That's a very simple plan thank you
Really nice. Thanks so much for a great explanation and demonstration.
Love your creativity! Thank you!

Nice Video
Thanks for sharing
Just done haven’t seen any birds yet but thanks for the vid
Nice quick project. Looks great too.
Thanks
Cool

Excellent job
That's a tweet idea! "Birds Of A Feather Flock Together"
Can't remember who actually whom the quoat is from.👍🏻
LOL, thanks
Very nice. Thanks a lot.
I am watching you for a long time.
I am from Iraq.
Thank you for being with us for a long time.

You have a lot of videos about pvc ideas. They are useful and wonderful.
Good job I like this;; Getting back into woodworking and your video helps inspire me.
Great video I'm going to do this project with my kids
That is awesome to hear.
nice done greats from belgium
Great video. thanks for putting such high value content out there :)
What is the experience with this design with squirrels? I'm thinking the narrower trough outlet for the seeds slows the squirrels down? Thanks for the video.
I like it and it looks awesome great job👍
Awesome work
Great job....
Very nice bird feeder! 👍😁👍
Thank you
Very nice

Could you consider making a feeder with a glass bottle please your instructions are really easy to follow
i love it!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool, will make a bunch tomorrow! I got scrap...
When it rains, the feed will be a mess. If it’s not kept dry, it will obviously clump together and if not removed, will grow mold
same with any bird feeder ?
I assume you use short screws to fasten the bird house to the post. They do not want to come through the floor. Great video thanks.
Nice job =) love the bloopers lol. You should add more at the end =)
Thanks, we are trying to use them more
How about a follow up video on that well you dug? Did you ever get clean water from it?
How easy is it to clean? I cant decide whether i should just buy plastic with some silver coating for germ protection 😪
i love you
Can you tell me the model of Ryobi nailer you're using
safety glasses, lol
How wide is the board that u started with?
Love it 😀 very nice .. do you have any plans for this .. I was planning on building this one for myself.
What about cleaning this feeder, how often and with what? Thank you.
nice and easy, thank you!
#STAYSAFE
I assume you are using 1x6s?
How did you cut 20 degrees on your miter saw
Thanks for the video. Just want to ask which hardware did you use to attach metal pole with the bird feeder?
It was a threaded metal flange that was already on the pole
Awesome good video
Why didn't you fiix something for the birds to stand on while eating
you can add that for your bird feeder.
let us know what you did!
The righteous one takes care of his domestic animals
Any chance you can record these videos using real measurements!
I thought cedar wasn't recommended for a bird/bat house or feeder due to it's natural oil.
add a cut list>
What is this black kind of ring you have on the left hand? Noticed many woodworkers has it.
It is a silicone ring. Just incase it gets stuck on something, it will tear before my finger gets trapped.
@@SpecificLove7 do you wear it over your wedding band ? because i have wondered this too.
I wear one of these instead of my nice wedding ring when I go to work, or when working on things like this, or metalworking, so that my finger doesn't get torn off or the skin peeled off if it gets caught. When I'm not working I wear the real one. The silicone rings only cost about $15-25
Home sweet home
Wish I had your tools. 😀 could I make it with just a hand saw?
It would take a while, but if you cut carefully, maybe.
I don't have every tool from these many wood projects either but a reciprocating saw, jigsaw, and circular saw have kept me active in making a lot of wood projects. You can forgo a jigsaw but you just won't be able to make some curved cuts . However, it just means, make your cuts more straight and it probably is OK too!
Do you know
if the guys at home depot would cut it for me?
Have you had any problems with squirrels climbing up the pole?
We have an outside cat, so we don't see many squirrels.
I'm just starting woodworking i would like to see the exact measurements for each piece.
What is the glue type?
Type 3
what about a squirrel-proof bird feeder?
Not yet, but I've been thinking about it.
btw, love your videos :)!
What if I don’t have those fancy wood cutting gadgets
You can use a protractor to get the angles. Eg, a protractor can easily give you the 20-degree angle to cut with.
Although the video said that glue was sufficient, but IMO, the tool used in this video that helps more than all the different kinds of saws, is the brad nailer. You can make this project with a hand saw, slower but still possible.
But the brad nailer is very useful for doing some small nails into these pieces of wood. Yes, it can be done with nail and hammer also but you would need more balancing and just more care to not bust up a particular side of the feeder.
Why is cutting like that dangerous with a miter saw?
Nice video, but you need to slow down and speak clearly.

I dont think that roof opens!
thuis was ikay but could do better :)
