Here is a question for you. What does a fabricator / architect do when he needs a bird feeder requested by his children? Here is a hint:
He has a plasma cutter, mig welder, assortment of grinders, and a bunch of miscellaneous steel plate left over from other jobs.
The answer, he builds the worlds strongest bird feeder…..
This little gem is built out of all 3/16″ thick steel plate and mounted with a 3/4″ solid steel bar insert slipped into a 1/8″ wall steel pipe. The roof lifts off to allow filling with seed, and it has 1/2″ slots at the bottom to allow the seed to automatically feed the tray as the little buggers eat. It took a little while for the birds to accept it but after about two days, they are eating bird seed till their little hearts are content.
