I taught a friend of mine with over 35 years in construction if you mark a line with a standard Sharpie and cut on the line it is an exact cut. I was always taught mark your line and leave the line, cut!
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.
@@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.
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.

Well done...to the point, no frills, no silliness.
Thanks!

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

Just started my fifth wine bottle to make this project....
I like the commitment!
Simple is always better, nice job!
Thanks! I wanted to make something others could duplicate easily.
Nice project. Thanks! 👍👍

Thanks
Do you make money selling these?
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?
Howd you cut the holes? Spade bit?

I think I’m the only person watching this that knows the birdseed will get clogged up in that bottle
