Bougie Birdfeeder
Building a bird feeder can be a delightful project, and it’s a great way to attract feathered visitors to your yard.
Bird feeders offer a host of benefits, both for our feathered friends and for us.
For Birds:
Survival: During winter, birds need ample food to maintain their energy levels and body temperature. Bird feeders provide a reliable source of nutrition, increasing their chances of survival.
Increased Survival Rates: Studies show that bird survival rates rise significantly when feeders are present.
Year-Round Support: Bird feeders ensure consistent food availability, especially when natural sources are scarce.
For Us:
Joy and Relaxation: Watching birds at feeders is delightful and relaxing. It connects us with nature and brings a sense of peace.
Local Sustainability: By setting up a feeder, you contribute to local ecosystems and support bird populations.
Remember, you can get creative with materials and design. Happy birdwatching! 🐦🌿

Thank you! Cheers!
What is that cool little holder you have for the sander?
The sander sitter was given to me by someone who worked in a hardware store. I can not find a retailer in Canada but they do carry it on Amazon in the US at: www.amazon.com/Baxter-Creek-SS001-5-Inch-Sander/dp/B000087QPK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Lovely looking feeder, I’m sure your granddaughter and the birds will love it!
I hope so too!
Great info! Super clean cut!
Awesome! Thank you!
Another great project!
Thanks again!
😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks!
Thank you. Very easy to follow instructions.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, they’re beautiful
Glad you like them!
❤❤it😊😊
Hope it proved helpful!
Do you have the plans for this?
No, not at this time but hope to in the future.
Great video btw. Ok that would be great I'm working on a fiberglass mold to build a refractory oven for a new business venture but mixers are way too expensive to get and maintain
I am beginner wood worker but have been making pizza for while. I have a miter saw snd circular saw and a sander but not table saw. But i can get access to one. Do uou have rhe plans listed anywhere for this? Looks like you did 25 degree slope and 25 degree angles and you mentioned doing folding cuts. Not sure what you meant by thay.
No we don't supply plans but if you watch the video again its 25 degree angle and 12.5 degree compound. Good luck and I will be making some pizza peels in the future.
Thank you, I love watching you work and you explain things clearly. Many thanks from here in the UK.
Thank you very much!
Thank you! What a splendid box, I’d love to see it in action. I do enjoy watching you work and thank you, this time the music was just at the right volume; background and not intrusive! Thanks again for all your fascinating videos.
Glad you're enjoying the channel.

شكرا جزيلا. الحمد لله على ترجمة جوجل! نقدر لك التعليق.
Thank you so much, that’s a beautiful, practical basket. I loved watching you work, but the music was a bit loud, making it difficult to hear you now and then - I’d rather hear you than the music!
We will definitely look at any volume issues. Thanks for letting me know!
Great video. Thanks for the inspiration. Also, very cool background music.
Thanks for watching!
That was excellent! Thanks so much for taking the time to really explain and demonstrate!
Glad it was helpful!
What’s to keep the feed from getting wet when the rain comes in sideways?
All bird feeders need continuous maintenance so that birds are not eating moldy food. Whether rain hits the front of the bird feeder or the sides if you have a bird feeder you must maintain it.
Nothing just like every other bird feeder out there.
Hi Greg, the wife was asking me. Could you ask him what kind of grapes those are? Thanks! You have a great channel enjoy it very much!
They are a pinot noir grape. Glad you enjoy the channel.
thanks for the tutorial, why use matt instead of cloth?
Great question, thanks for asking. The reason we use matt is that it will give us a smoother surface and is also not structural so is only meant to support the resin on the plywood. If I was doing something structural I would layer matt, cloth and then matt. I always use matt as my finish surface. Good luck with your project.
Hi great video. How do you hide the initial inbound cut which you make to cut out the drawer. Thanks.
I enter at the bottom of the drawer and look for a dark grain in the wood and enter in and then back the blade out through the same cut. Then glue the joint.
I have a plywood wall that i am repairing. Had water damage, i cut the damaged area out, but not sure how to repair it. Fiberglass may be the cure. Do you have any suggestions?
If you have problems with a wall getting damp or wet you may want to just coat it with epoxy.
Can you paint the fiber glass surface using something like a nonskid deck paint? I’m considering coating a boat floor in fiberglass to help better waterproof the surface
Btw, I love your videos and your work
Yes, you can! You would want to use a polyurethane paint with a non-skid additive. If you put down gelcoat you have to put down non-waxed. If you are re-fiber glassing when you do the gelcoat you can add a non-skid additive and the gelcoat waxed.
@@MackenzieWoodworking one last question, is it possible to add some non skid additive to the polyester resin to give river glass some grip? I was contemplating keeping the wood look of the plywood so I wouldn’t paint the surface. I like the natural wood look but was wondering, can I add some Media like crushed walnut to the top coat and then go over it again with resin??
Great! What a lovely basket, anyone would be proud to give or receive that. You make it look easy!
Thank you so much!
Nicely done Sir!
Thank you kindly!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful! Well done! 👏 Coffee theme was a great idea.
Thank you! 😊
I like this! You need a steady hand for pouring the resin into the cutouts! Looks great, thanks for the video.
You are right!
Great Job!
Thanks!
Another beautiful project
Thanks Jeff
Very cool nice work
Thank you! Cheers! Have a great holiday season!
That was fascinating and the finished product is beautiful. Thank you.

It's a nice little vintage piece with good grain in the veneer. Thanks for watching.
Woodwork and mechanical restoration, all round job and lovely finish with a really good commentary explaining how, why and when.
Thanks for checking it out!
That grape juice looks a wonderful colour, should be delicious wine! Thanks for the interesting video, pity I can’t sample the end product!
Thanks for watching!
I don’t have a trailer, so am unlikely ever to replace a roof - but the video was fascinating, as usual! Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
That was a beautiful video - and the finished chair is magnificent. Although you obviously put a lot of hard work into it, watching the process was wonderfully relaxing! Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Lovely piece of work. I have a similar idea which I will attempt in the next few weeks as I prepare Christmas presents for my family. Thank you for the clear and easy to understand video.
Wonderful!
Gorgeous finish, nice job!
