Very nice build. It's a wonderful thing you are doing for your grand daughter by tearing it apart to rebuild it with her. Your a good grandpa :) Very relaxing video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe!
I watched this last night, and thought, “I have everything I need to make these in the shed”. So I waited to comment until after I made one today. It came out great, and the squirrels and birds already love it. I filled it with peanuts, corn, and sunflower seeds. Thanks for all the great ideas Kevin, be well my friend.
Nice job with clear and detailed instructions. I am going to build one this week. Thank you for sharing. Just a friendly suggestion to buy unsalted food for squirrels and wildlife. Also, see if you have a local farmer where you can buy ears of harvested corn. I buy about a 75lb. bag of chucked ears for $10.00! Better than $15.00 for aprox. 10 lbs.
Thanks. Awesome simplicity. At first, I was puzzled about why you didn't glue it I confess that I didn't recall and connect your intention to give it to your granddaughter with your not gluing it together. Thank you for being so extra clear in your wrap up in explaining that taking ot apart would make it a fun project. At that point, a few lines across joints might make it easier to tell left from right side from right for easier matching of origional screw holes. Thanks again for this smart design.
Your granddaughter is so lucky to have a grandfather like you. I wish my father could have met my daughter in person, but the Lord called him home before she was born. I hope to do this project with her soon. God bless you, and thank you for doing what you do
Only changes: 1) Coated deck screws instead of drywall screws. 2) Cut the side cleats across the board instead of with it. Less waste (see #3). 3) Save the base panel for last and use the entire leftover piece. The half-round hole plug cleat for the base of the bottle can be placed anywhere. But that's just me. Otherwise, excellent work! Very helpful, very informative, and greatly appreciated.
On UA-cam one of they ever gonna allow us to put a photo on so I can give other ideas too. I love your video. It’s great. It is like one of the best. No background music if you want to fast forward to easy to fast forward you’re not gonna miss nothing Because you can stop right away and proceed. I had to use 7 1/2 inch wide to make mine but for the two sides with a 3 inch hole I use 5 1/2 inch. The only problem I’m having is cutting them holes with those doggone things it stops the machine more than anything, the blades get filled up with sawdust, but I was using treated lumber. That’s probably why.
You’ve done really really great on this. I make mine very similar but I was a 1 gallon glass container so the whole for the glass is 4 1/2 inches and I screwed up and I bought 5 1/2 inch wide wood one by 5 1/2, I had to return them and get the 8 inch wide. And if you drill it to high, just have to stick a piece of water on underneath and see how level it looks cause I had to do the same thing now for holding the jar in place on one side, I pre-drilled the hole a little bigger and then shot a screw in there so I can swivel the other piece. Doesn’t even have a screw just turn lock. I wish I could put a picture on here. They look like this --O--
Great detailed instructions Mr. Kevin. Thanks for your time. You made it so easy for us. One concerned question…someone told me squirrels likes to chew on cedar because of the sweetness, what are your thoughts..? Otherwise we’ll be starting building one anyways. Your help is very appreciated…
Very well done Kevin....I won't be building one. Of these cuz we have a squirrel problem round here as you know....they cleaned the garden this Summer.....they don't deserve now peanuts......CHEERS
Unsalted nuts!! Haha.... I bet raw would attract 'em better, you can really smell them! Great job! Building several soon, gotta get them out of my bird feeders!!
Love this! I love watching the birds and the squirrels. I'm sure your granddaughter loved building this cool project with you. I don't mean to criticize you because you did an amazing job, but salted peanuts aren't good for squirrels or other wildlife. Next time try the yellow bag of peanuts. They are unsalted. 🐿🥜
Very nice build. It's a wonderful thing you are doing for your grand daughter by tearing it apart to rebuild it with her. Your a good grandpa :) Very relaxing video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe!
Thanks Gerard, she has been excited to build one she loves watching the squirrels, so hopefully she will have fun with this.
How are you doing my friend?
Gonna give this a try, thanx for measuring everything,
So many videos have annoying music or no real direction.😊
Good luck thanks for the comment and watching.

I have one more squirrel feeder coming soon on video nice project thanks for the comment Hatch.
Excellent how-to. Not a single step left out. Great job.
Now I know why you asked me if I had any squirrels in my neighborhood.
Thanks Daryl, i try to be thorough enough so it's easy enough for everyone.

That sounds good thanks for watching.
Your instructions are great
Thanks for posting this. What a fun project.
All I had on hand was the pine but it worked out just fine.
Thanks for the comment was very fun product.
Great idea for Christmas my step son lives where the squirrels are close so I will build him one.
Jim, that is a good idea, have fun.

You should start a UA-cam channel it's not hard you can do it and help others.
@@Robinson-Homestead I have my own place on UA-cam where I store all my videos and all my photos. But how does that pop up for others?
Dude you need to sell them, great video my friend.
Maybe one day.
Thank you so much for the comment.
Thanks Kevin, great presnetation
Thank you
What a cool lit'l feeder. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
This is cool. I may try one with a plexiglass front
Thanks for the comment Tommy.

Thanks for sharing my friend.
This is a great feeder that prevents crows from raiding the food supply.
Thanks for the comment Rich
Dude, great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it thank you for the comment and watching.
Awesome job my friend! I wish I had half of your talent. LoL
William, thanks for watching, i'm sure you could build one it's pretty simple.
Great detailed instructions Mr. Kevin. Thanks for your time. You made it so easy for us.
One concerned question…someone told me squirrels likes to chew on cedar because of the sweetness, what are your thoughts..? Otherwise we’ll be starting building one anyways.
Your help is very appreciated…
I use dog eared fence boards from Lowe's you can get them in Pine or Cedar.
Very well done Kevin....I won't be building one. Of these cuz we have a squirrel problem round here as you know....they cleaned the garden this Summer.....they don't deserve now peanuts......CHEERS
You need to make some squirrel nuggets and put them in the deep fryer lol.
I love this! Kevin, you are so talented!
Thank you Gina
GREAT VIDEO
Very cool Thks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for the comment and watching.
That's awesome Kevin. They are such lovely and fun little friends :o)
Thanks John, yeah we love watching the squirrels run around.
VERY WELL DONE SIR!
I'll be making one to :-)
Thank you glad to help.
Great little project. I would build intifada I had squirrels around my house.
Frank, you know what they say, if you build it they will come lol.
The WORX switch drill is best money spent.
Thanks Rodney.
Nice job. I would just hold the front in place and lay the jar down and push it up to the front to see where the hole should be.
Good tip John .
Unsalted nuts!! Haha.... I bet raw would attract 'em better, you can really smell them! Great job! Building several soon, gotta get them out of my bird feeders!!
Thanks for wtching
Great video thanks for sharing God Bless
Thanks for watching
Any chance of some video footage of the little blighters working out how to get to, and eat those nuts?
Great design, thanks!
I will have to see if can some footage
Awesome
Thank you.

Thank you I didn't know that Caitlin.
do you have the plans
I'm going to look into making one up Ill do a video on it sorry.
Can u make some different kinds of bird houses.
Lisa, i would love to make some if i ever get the time, i need some on my new property
never never never use treated wood for a squirrel feeder they like to chew on it and it is poisonous
Thanks for the comment
👍
Thanks Duke.
I noticed that you don't have a clean out, to remove food residue. Then you won't have to take it down to do a clean out!
😊👍
Thanks Pete
I want to see it in action, please
Will do soon.
Good job, but salt is harmful for squirrels.
Thanks for the info.
It's definitely not raccoon proof
