I made another one later with a solid, one piece (waterproof), roof that lifts off in one piece. Problem solved and looks nice.

I have as well. See: www.garagewoodworks.com/video.php?video=99 I wanted the convenience of replacing the feed with this version. I really don't think there's a problem with either design.

I made a feeder much like this one except I used vinyl covered mesh for the bottom. That allows dirt, shells, rain, and snow to follow through.

Very nice Cedar feeder. How do you keep the squirrels out?

@GarageWoodworks 6 жыл бұрын

This is the second one I've made of this style feeder and the squirrels don't seem to be a problem. Or maybe they sneak around when I'm not watching.

Everyone seems to want to hang feeders with chain, cable or rope, etc. Can't do that here. We get high winds all the time, even during the summer. I was out in the drive doing some work out of my shop just today. Beauriful warm day and the wind was making things very difficult to do anything. So these line hung feeders will just get destroyed swinging in these winds and the seed will be all over. I put out a feeder, it's on the top of a 4x4 post and bolted in place with a squirrel baffle below.

I see a problem with water leakage down into the seeds via the hinge area. I made a similar feeder once and ended up having to cover the entire roof with plastic sheeting that covered the crack at the hinge area. It flexes up when I lift the roof to fill the feeder. Doesn't look as good as this one but the feed remains dry.

@GarageWoodworks 6 жыл бұрын

I realized that too. I'm going to keep an eye on it and if it causes problems I plan on covering the seam with a clear flexible plastic strip (only over the seam). The only problems that I've witnessed caused from wet bird feed is that the seed can sprout but it doesn't appear to happen very frequently (rare in my experience).

@BackToTheBus 6 жыл бұрын

I build my own feeders with over sized roofs so the Birds can sit and eat in a rain storm without getting wet ! It's a lot more work on my part because I have to tend the feeders every day to fill them and keep them clean but I find that more satisfying anyway !

@blue_leader1833 4 жыл бұрын

That was the first thing I thought of "leaking roof" because of the hinge

@grahamclements-turner1148 3 жыл бұрын

why not cut a 45 degree angle on the hinge part, might help. Nice bird feeder.

@berryconway4296 6 жыл бұрын

Three comments I wanted to make. First, I should have made something like this but purchased a feeder this winter - agh! Second why don't you use the dust collection of the Rigid sander unit? Finally, it looks like the squirrels will have easy access to your feeder, aren't you worried about that? Thanks it was a nice build and video!

i have my personal method, but i'm curious to know how you keep the glue after use date his great sensitivity to environmental humidity.

@GarageWoodworks 6 жыл бұрын

I just put the cap back on the bottle. In the past I have wrapped the top of a bottle of moisture sensitive glues with Parafilm.

One queston, how do you decide when to use belt sander vs disc sander?

@GarageWoodworks 6 жыл бұрын

Great question. I would have preferred to use the disc sander in the first part of the video but I realized that the work was too long. On a disc sander, you can only sand toward the front half of the disc otherwise the work will be pushed up (back of disc rotates up). In my experience, and for my tools, the disc sander provides a better surface.

@timstroud2112 4 жыл бұрын

I like the design, but the hinged joint is flawed. It should have been cut at a 45 deg angle so as to impede the seepage of rain water down into the seed. Other than that I like it.

@GarageWoodworks 4 жыл бұрын

45 wouldn’t have changed seepage.

@timstroud2112 4 жыл бұрын

@@GarageWoodworks Horizontal seepage would be less than vertical seepage since to two cuts would yield a horizontal instead of a near vertical joint, and more water would run off instead of down the seam. So yeah, it would change it. A 50 deg joint would virtually eliminate it.

@GarageWoodworks 4 жыл бұрын

You’re thinking 45 degrees the opposite direction than me. Your 45 will result in a difficult to open hinged top. Not to mention difficult to attach hinge.

@timstroud2112 4 жыл бұрын

Not if you make a 3/4" wide relief cut. The top will then clear the sides when opening and closing, cannot be seen, and will inhibit the flow of water into the seed. It worked on the ones I made anyway, and the hinge was no more difficult to install.

@GarageWoodworks 4 жыл бұрын

The leaf of the hinge needs to extend past the 45 cut completely. Or the screw will penetrate into the mating section of wood. You aren’t thinking this through. Give it more thought and come back.

That tray/base is way too small mate, where is the room for birds?

@GarageWoodworks 3 жыл бұрын

The birds don’t go in the tray. The tray holds the seed. The birds feed by standing on the perch.

Nah. I made a similar feeder in 2013 (it's been there ever since). Squirrels have never been an issue. See here : www.garagewoodworks.com/video.php?video=99

@sapelesteve 6 жыл бұрын

Well, I don't know about the Squirrels that you have around your area but the ones here in CT would destroy that feeder within a matter of days & no birds would have access to the feed. I know because I have tried feeders just like the one you made. Anyway, still a nice build............ :)
