      Louis, thank you so very much! I enjoy the challenge of making it up as I go. That's not to say that I don't build it 1000 times in my mind before I start though. I really appreciate you watching my videos and also for taking the time to leave such kind words. Thank you.

That way they could paint it together that be pretty cool a question where do you buy Cedarwood at? Can you buy it at Lowe’s or Home Depot great project. Thank you.

    • @thetennesseetinkerer
      @thetennesseetinkerer  Год назад

      First off, thank you so much for the kind words and the view! Yes, typically Lowes and Home Depot carry some rough cedar boards (at least around my area they do). I work at a large building supply store, and that is where I get mine. If you have building supply stores in your area, that is a good source. Also my local hardwood dealer stocks some cedar as well. It shouldn’t be too hard to find depending on what part of the country you live in. Some regions may have equivalent species such as cypress or redwood. Both of those are good options as well. I wish you success with your projects, and thank you again!

    Installing the plexiglass. I see how you install the plexiglass on the hinged side as the roof lifts up. How did you install the plexiglass on the non-hinged side as the appears to show you screwing the roof on first?

    • @thetennesseetinkerer
      @thetennesseetinkerer  2 года назад

      Ron, sorry for the delayed response. The plexiglass has to be installed before the roof is screwed on. I don't remember, but I may have been pre-assembling it in the instance you describe. These were a craft project for the kids at church to help me "build" as a part of a workshop, so everything was pre-assembled by me and taken back apart. Thanks for the comment and the view!

      Thanks Chris! I installed it before I screwed the roof on. The video doesn’t make that clear. You aren’t the first to ask that question. I preassembled these and then partially took them back apart so the kids at church could help me “build” them. We slid in the plexiglass before putting the roof on. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

    If it rains would water leak through where the hinges hold the wood together?

    • @thetennesseetinkerer
      @thetennesseetinkerer  2 года назад

      EC, Unfortunately in the current design, it would most likely get the seed wet. I'm not an expert on the topic, so I don't know if wet seed is bad or not. I assume some rain gets in the tray below and gets the seed wet as well. I would think all feeders would suffer from this problem though. You could alter the design to not have a hinged roof or use a secondary cover over it I suppose. Anyway, thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!

    • @thetennesseetinkerer
      @thetennesseetinkerer  Год назад

      As I recall it went great. This video is about 4 years old, so this puts the VBS replacement in the summer before Covid hit. I recall it being very well attended by all ages. I know the bird feeder build was a big hit with the kids. I think we had plans to repeat the format the next summer, but then the world went crazy. When we started back VBS the next year, it was similar, and this summer it was more like a traditional VBS. Our church and children’s leaders are very talented and creative, so I don’t doubt we may try this format again sometime. Thanks for watching and for the comment! It is greatly appreciated!

    @timstroud2112 4 года назад

    Nice project. maybe you should have cut the hinged portion at a 45 deg. angle so as to reduce the amount of rain water leaking down into the bird seed. Other than that, it is perfect. I also liked to tip on using painters tape to help put the roof section together. Well done sir!

    • @thetennesseetinkerer
      @thetennesseetinkerer  4 года назад +1

      Tim, Thanks so much for the view and the comment. That is a great idea about the 45 degree cut. I imagine that would help alleviate quite a bit of water infiltration. I struggled with ease of refilling vs. water tight roof. That is a good compromise, and if I ever build any more of these, I'll definitely incorporate that. Thanks again!

      Fred, for some reason I just now saw this comment. I try and answer all my comments in a timely manner, so I apologize for the delay. I thought the hinges would make it easier to lift the lid and refill the seed. I realize by having a break in the roof, water will get in, but the seed is going to be wet anyway. The fact that it has exposed trays means that the seed will be constantly rained as it is. I don't think the birds mind though. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for the view and the comment!

    @TitoBuds 4 года назад +1

    Amazing project, especially for the kids! Im excited to do this and have kids assemble it. The break in the roof though would allow water to seep in. Can we put like a wateeproof tape over it? Or maybe a do a different style?

    • @thetennesseetinkerer
      @thetennesseetinkerer  4 года назад +1

      Eugene, thank you so much for the view and the kind words. I did consider the break in the roof will let water in, and it isn't ideal. However, I did rationalize that the seed in the tray will be getting wet anyway because of rain. I weighed the pros and cons of a different roof design. I suppose you could use a a waterproof tape on the seam, but you would have to make sure it was also UV resistant. Many of the "rubber membrane" type tapes on the market have to be protected from sunlight or they will fail. I think a one-piece roof is the best option, however, I think you would need to screw it down so the wind wouldn't take it off, and that makes it much harder to refill the seed. At the end of the day, the small group VBS class I used them in was to expose the children to the many and diverse skills of the members of the church, and it seems that we accomplished that. The format was such a success that we are doing it again this summer. Stay tuned, you just might see another video related to that! Thanks again, it means a great deal to me that you took the time to watch and comment!

    Great looking feeder, but as others have said dimensions (or a cut list) would go a long way for beginner woodworkers. At the very end you could have pulled out a tape measure and rattled off the rough dimensions. 12 inches high, 10 inches wide, 14 inches long, 1 inch sides around to hold the food in. One extra minute of time. 🤷‍♂️

    Measurements

      I don't really have measurements. It is about 14" tall by 12" long by 11" wide. I build the majority of my projects as I go, so I never have plans or templates. I currently don't have a way to offer cut lists either. Maybe one day. This is a pretty simple design that I've seen others build. I'm sure there are some plans out there somewhere. Thanks for the view and the comment!

      Dale, that was definitely a big turkey feeding at the end! Thanks for watching.
