So far it hasn’t been a problem. Although there is one finch that digs until they find the seed they want. Otherwise it has been pretty popular in the neighborhood and I went through about 30lbs of bird seed this month.

I much prefer wood. I have a problem with a birdfeeder made of heavy gauge steel, but I do love the design and execution. I did like the squirrel comment. If I were to make a feeder it would definitely have anti-squirrel features.

Great film, well shot and entertaining. Bird feeder is sick. Love the use of existing forms. The design even accounted for the throat depth and height of the bandsaw. Mahalo for sharing! : )

I listened between the lines! Condoning the shooting of squirrels?!?!? :) Nice vid per usual.

I love that it really clearly got some design thought that's gone into it. Did the roof overhang enough to direct rain past the seeds?

@Grunblau

Жыл бұрын

Hasn’t been an issue and it has rained for like 3 weeks straight! There is a 1/16” slot all around the floor that allows for drainage. I did a version where the roof extended the entire way and I think it would make the birds nervous about being so enclosed. Drip line is basically at the edge of the seeds where the bird stands…

Thanks! I wanted to show an actual view for this video since Miller gave me the welding helmet. The earlier shots with the copper, for example, I had my aperture too far open. The later shots are through the helmet and are not altered. I am still playing with it and have actually adapted the welding filter directly to my camera. It is incredibly clear and it is nice to see all kinds of blues, yellow and orange instead of the usual monochromatic green.
