Attaching Hinges to Bird Feeder

Video Transcript

"I went down and got some hinges for this. You don't have to buy expensive hinges. Just some inexpensive ones. I usually buy four or five at a time so that I have plenty of them. I don't have my knife with me, so I use my teeth. Take the screws out of here. What we want to do is locate the hinges. Try and get them as straight as possible, don't, you really don't have to measure them. If you can see that, we will put one there. We will put the other one on the other side. You can buy the hinges with the straight through but I like to use these little separate ones by themselves. You really don't have to mark them too much, like I say, get them close to the middle and then you can put them in with a screwdriver. I do it the easy way. I have a little gun here that I use. And we just screw it on there. Be sure the screws don't go all the way through. Make sure that when you get some hinges that the screws that you get with them are short enough that they don't go all the way through the wood. That way you have to file it off and you don't want to do that. Before you get it all screwed down make sure that it opens, and it does. We will finish it up on the next segment."
