This self-filling bird feeder is a fun way to use up some scrap wood. Great project for earning income, or just make them for friends and family!

You could also put a chimney on the top, and fill up the bottle from there, A little idea that came to mind

Great project Steve.My grandson and I will have to make one. Thanks for what you do and for sharing it with us.

@JMTosses 9 лет назад

I'm not into bird feeding myself but as always enjoyed your video very much. I also like how you integrate little bits ideas into your projects. Thanks!

@nfc14g 4 года назад

Thanks for this 'basic product'. How lucky is that, I have all of these things lying around home. Instead of using the CloudBit I used a basic GPS device, called my friend at NASA and had him broadcast the appropriate bird song globally with directions to my auto feeder. Finished this project in 11 minutes.

Steve The bird feeder is nice, I look forward to building it with my daughter. Her name is Adeline, and she is 4 1/2 years old. She loves watching your videos each week with me. It's a ritual that has quickly become almost nightly in our home. This one in particular was enjoyable for us because of the Inside Out, Triple Dent Gum jingle Easter egg. That was really cool. Thank you for helping us bond over such a cool hobby/lifestyle. I look forward to meeting you in Kansas City. I asked her what she wanted to say to you and she said "I like his videos, and I like the colors he paints things" Keep up the great work!

I came back to watch this since enough paint has come off of the one I made years ago that the plywood roof is starting to peel away. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed your Micro Jig intros. Pity that sponsorship had to end. Great bird feeder, though -- the birds love this way more than the commercial one that hangs near it.

@mgn3320 9 лет назад

Hey Steve your really inspired me to wood work and I'm making a huge project for my parents thanks so much keep up the great videos

@cadu1990 9 лет назад

I just watched the porch swing, and it's the best video ever. I think you should make more videos about mini furnituring.

@mikewright7236 9 лет назад

My youngins love to watch the beginning of your videos for the micro jig tidbit. They love it, and think you're nuts! But in a good way

@GloriJ9 9 лет назад

Nice video. It gives me an idea on a way to fill the feeder without having to take the roof off

@dadgumit2505 6 лет назад

Got some scrap wood from a broken 1940s library bookcase. This looks like a great project to re-purpose some of it

@thecynic807 9 лет назад

You get me every time on the gripper

@ChrisSmith40 9 лет назад

Have you thought about making a picnic table

@thesparkyboy5 9 лет назад

You can use littleBits to allow the birds to press a button to let you know when you it's time to fill up the birdfeeder. I guess you'd have to train the birds to do that wouldn't you? Great project Steve. This will be something that my daughter can help me with. Thanks!

@TechnoJesusFreak 9 лет назад

Love the music

@stewartprice8881 9 лет назад

Lol Steve the start of the gripper is only getting funnier ...but tell you what it works as I'm getting one

@richardljohnson9727 4 года назад

@bogsdolics 9 лет назад

Hi S loved the fast hammering it was like a woodpecker [ not the Canadian one ] bird , no elephant at the end of this one , G

@honse 9 лет назад

Hey Steve, I think you should make a homemade rocking chair. Love the channel.

@bobgraff6658 9 лет назад

My cat would love to see this outside HER window.

@hspringsteen 9 лет назад

Nice project. I would love to know what your flush trim saw is. I bought one, and the blade is so flimsy that it bent while trying to cut off a 3/8 in dowel.

@bentfork 9 лет назад

You probably should knot the string used for hanging the feeder. I can see a squirrel getting up there and causing the whole thing to tip to one side, spilling all of the bird seed. Then it would be an automatic squirrel feeder.

@IAmRicDaRula 9 лет назад

Another great vid....question for you... Band saw or scroll saw???

@audiotechlabs4650 9 лет назад

Great video Steve, as per usual! Good add-on of your swing birdhouse also. Hey what happened to the gray hair? Ha Ha Thankz

@bulldriver1 9 лет назад

Hey Steve, nice projects by the way, im a huge fan. Is there any particular reason you use hex screws in all of your projects?

@JimFancherDIY 9 лет назад

Great little project, Steve. I like this a lot. Time to make a squirrel feeder too. Wait ... they'll just use this one. :o)

@thecynic807 9 лет назад

I've heard or read that birds don't like the color red. Also humming birds prefer the clear nectar over the red.

@mikeweber9946 9 лет назад

Bottle cutting jig? Use your bandsaw!

@brianpercival1829 4 года назад

There are bottle joiners and you could fill a 2 liter bottle and attach it on top of the bottle. This would allow extended time away, like on a holiday. Birds still get fed while you are away.

@icawn 8 лет назад

time to get an x-carve steve. you're falling behind the youtube community!

@BlakeLambertwondersax 9 лет назад

Cool project. Just be aware that most soda bottles are polyurethane which doesn't bond hardly at all to epoxy. Keep on making!

@CriticalEatsJapan 9 лет назад

Very nice ---let us know how popular it is with the birds...

@Orxenhorf 9 лет назад

The glass bottle would have the advantage that the squirrels couldn't chew right through it.

@bigjuicyone 9 лет назад

Steve, like the project. In fact in the shop right now and considering making one. However, two questions. 1) What type of screws are you using? They look like Philips heads but am I seeing Torx???? 2) I know your bird feeder is Red, but is it OK if I still paint my Purple? And use some spray lacquer? Thanks, always informative.

@geodynamically 9 лет назад

This was a cool project. Please include a video of a real bird eating from it! Maybe in the mere minutes.... :)

@120Livi 9 лет назад

Great project Steve.... Terrible music though!

@Masterof1ne 9 лет назад

I think the birds are going to be disappointed you did not use any dovetails!

@bananaguard5857 9 лет назад

Pun intended?

@supermonkee48 9 лет назад

*sigh* Great, now I have that song in my head! Nice squirrel feeder!

@FRAGAFE 9 лет назад

That's a cool bird feeder. Is there any concern of getting spray paint in the screen or was that area covered like the bottle? Also, awesome choice of songs with the little bits demo. I just went to the movies with the family to see Inside Out last weekend

@murraylowe8677 9 лет назад

Is the "RUFF" the same thing we have here in Canada called a roof? LOL Nice build Steve

@robblopez8070 9 лет назад

***** as usual, great video, you inspire me to build, every time . Quick question about your wardrobe: did you switch teams, I thought you were a 49ers fan?

@xaviert.9566 7 лет назад

Hi Steve, What about using hot glue instead of epoxy ? Regards

@MrAndrewmcgibbon 9 лет назад

We don't have the Automatic Birds in Michigan, will this feeder work with regular birds too? Just out of curiosity, (my cat wants to know), what do Automatic birds taste like

@richaur87 9 лет назад

Nice bird feeder, Steve. Did you have any visitors yet?

@JoshuaParnell 4 года назад

Super easy no-mess funnel: Take an identical bottle and it's cap, plus another cap. Cut the bottom off of a bottle, then cut out the center of the two caps, then super glue or hot glue the two together, top to top, so that there are threads on both sides. Now you can thread your funnel onto your opening. I use this with water bottles for meal replacement shakes so I can just grab a bottle of water and put the shake mix in without having a blender bottle.
