Using Fancy Old Wood for Bird Feeder

Video Transcript

"Here is another bird feeder that I made a few weeks back. It's made like my old bird houses. This here one wasn't and experiment, it was just, I had pieces of old wood and what have you. You can see the pretty old wood. I thought well, I'm not going to make it like the other bird feeders, I'm just going to make it kind of, put the hole down here in the bottom, a hole down here in the top and if the bird wants to go inside to eat or he can eat out of the tariff here, but you can pour the feed in here and it will feed out the bottom here the same way. This wood here is probably eighty ninety years old, most of it. It was just some scrap wood that I had laying around and I thought well, I put this here one together and it's a little different contrast and I've had it hanging in the yard for about a month now and so I put a hanger on it like this. You can do the same to this one here. This here one you hang on a tree. The birds will come. They seem to like it. You can see the bird droppings on it. I filled this up last night and it's just about empty already. This is a little deeper trough than those, but they are, I don't know just something about a bird feeder that they like and if it's wood, especially old wood, they like it better. I like to work with old wood, you know, but sometimes it's kind of hard to work with because it is so warped and what have you. Old wood is just kind of nice to work with. These are the three types of bird feeders that I make and you can make them out of old wood, or new wood, any scrap wood you have around. It's just kind of fun to do and it doesn't take much time and like I say, later on if you want to put some screws in part of these here a couple of screws but the glue, using weatherproof glue, waterproof glue, it will probably hold it as long as the birdhouse will hold up. I don't think you have to worry about it. You can put nails in it, you don't have to put screws in it. So that's it, that's how I make bird houses and all these other ones."
