How To Build A Bird Feeder // Easy Woodworking Project
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- So far we've built a squirrel feeder, a bat house, and two bird houses, so I though tit was about time we added a bird feeder to the list. I decided to build a stereotypical looking feeder because I wanted onw that had plenty of standing room. We have a large variety of song birds on our property so I needed to make sure there was plenty of room for a number of different birds at one time. I decided to build the bird feeder out of cedar fence pickets because not only are they affordable but cedar is a natural bug repellant and it holds up really well outdoors. This is a pretty easy woodworking project that you can knock out over the weekend and so far we are really enjoying ours. I hope this video gives you a few ideas for your own bird feeder. Thanks for watching!!

Great idea to make it portable.
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
Good job and project thx for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for giving us measurements
I am sensing sarcasm :)) I just took all the measurements down and am currently working on a full set of plans. I'll make sure and let you know when I get them done.
Very nice
Parabéns ficou muito lindo mesmo 🙏🏽
Love it
Thank you!!
Great job😅
Thank you!
Great
Thanks! The birds love it, and unfortunately so do the squirrels.....
thanks for watching!
Would like some dimensions if possible, thanks, great build.
Haven’t forgotten you, still working on them
Somehow I missed the dimensions on how to make the end pieces I guess I wasn’t paying attention when he cut it on the table saw
I'm currently working on a set of plans for this.
Hi Taylor do you have plans for this plz
I am actually right in the middle of making them, I'll reach out to you as soon as they're done.
@@boydstongrove plz sir n ty great video
Cedar fence pickets - I haven’t seen those at home D, prolly need to go to a lumber mill?
I guess it depends on the area. Here in Jax. FL every Home Depot has pallets of them, But a lumber yard may have some, if not, maybe rough cut cedar boards.
👍👍
Do you have plans for this bird feeder
I am currently working on them, I'll announce it on our community page once they are on the website. Thanks for watching!
Nice, where does the rain water go?
Great question! The roof overhangs the base area just enough to keep it from filling with water, plus the lip around the edge is pretty shallow. Yes, water does get on the food, but we have a lot of birds so the feeder gets emptied pretty quick and the birds don’t seem to mind the occasional wet day.
Can the squirrels get to this by climbing the pole?
Like you wouldn’t believe!! This has made me a hater of squirrels! If you know of any good deterrents let me know, lol.
Me this is about one of the best tutorials to build a birdfeeder. I wanna make a couple, then send them to my one and three-year-old niece and nephew in Texas. That way they could paint them.
A few questions…no a lot questions, and/or comments
The portable part is actually brilliant
The roof idea with the springs inside, so it has tension, but can still be moved to fill it is another great idea
Squirrels are a pain in the ass and they can jump like son of a guns. I was thinking how the squirrels may get in your feeder. If they’re jumping from the ground up into it, then maybe make it taller
If they are climbing up the fence post pole you used the diameter is small that way they can wrap their legs around it and shimmy up it so I’m suggesting a bigger diameter of something put around the pole maybe a fat piece of PVC pipe but maybe they could dig their claws into that. Hope you get the idea of where to go with that. Maybe a four or 5 inch piece of stainless steel tin circular slid over the fence, post bowl that way they can’t wrap their legs around it and shimmy up.
I don’t have the luxury of a workshop or a garage that’s why I haven’t done anything like this. I did not realize they make Brad nailers that are battery now I am interested in doing this. I did not want to have to buy an air compressor the whole 9 yards, you have a make and model number on that Brad nailer
Overall, it was an awesome video. Thanks for the help.
Plans? Or dimensions?
Yes, I am not too quick with the program to make plans butt I am working on them.
How much concrete did you use for the base?
Ended up using around 1/3-1/2 of a 50lb bag.
do you haave plans/dimensions of the pieces?
I do not have plans but I would be happy to get you the dimensions.
How can I make one without buying $1,000 worth of fancy tools ?
haha, well, all the cuts including the plexi glass can be cut with a simple jig saw. I used my drill press for the post piece but a regular drill would work just fine. When I make cuts lengthways with a jig saw (or hand saw), I always do those first, before cutting it to length.
All he’s doing is telling you What he is doing he’s not telling you how he made it he would’ve been nice if he would’ve told you how to make the Ends
Good point. I should have the plans done soon.
