    Your solution of putting magnets in an inside-out plastic bag to pick up the metal filings is very impressive. Simple, easy and creative. 😊

    I came here to learn about drilling conduit for my tomato garden, but I’m an avid birder and this opened up some many possibilities for me! Thank you!! ❤❤

      This really made me smile. Now I'm curious about conduit for tomato cages.

    I found your tips helpful. I am actually trying to fix a desk and a sheet music stand that has telescope legs using a pressure screw to hold and lock it in place for the desired height. The bolt and pressure screw are stripped making my furniture practically useless, but I'm thinking if I could drill all the way through the poles and insert something completely through it and secure it, I could reclaim the use of my furniture. Your tips for drilling were the best examples I've seen. Thank you!

    I don't know anything about birds, but I came here to make a Telescoping pole to DIY my own backdrop stands and this was ALLLLLLLLLLL of the information that I needed. I have to buy the clamps and drill block and drill vice and I will be READY!!! Thanks again for a very slow and precise video with step by step instructions!!!!!

      You made my day. It only took me about 5 years to learn this technique but it's a great one.

    Years ago, a fellow ham radio operator gave me an antenna built out of EMT and a 102 Inch cb whip.. i worked the world on that antenna and am building another as it eventually corroded and became unusable after about 8 years outdoors. I am building another to the original specifications that requires 1/2 in conduit to be placed and secured with bolts 18 inches inside 3/4 in conduit. Thank you so much for showing how to drill it!

    Good idea! I have also found that 5 inch round duct fits well over a 4x4 post as an effective squirrel barrier.

    • @BackyardBirdsUS
      @BackyardBirdsUS  5 років тому +2

      That's a great Idea I've never thought of. Much cheaper than a 20 or 30 dollar baffle. What length do you use? Bet it works for raccoons too?

    • @BackyardBirdsUS
      @BackyardBirdsUS  Рік тому

      I think it would work for bats. The bat box can't be too big though. I'm going to try it. Thanks for the idea. I think it could work for feeders too.

    • @BackyardBirdsUS
      @BackyardBirdsUS  Рік тому +1

      I don't think it would. Actually i speak from experience and the weight bent the pole.

    What do you attach to the pole to insert it into the ground? Or is this just designed to be inserted into wet concrete?
