Table Saw for angled cut along roof line and eaves Table Saw or Mitre Saw to cut lengths and 30° peak roof Hole Saw (optional) to cut holes in end panels so that the birds can keep an eye on predators. Screw Driver Counter Sink Drill Drill Bits Hammer I use 1in x 6in fence boards for the cedar panels; just pick ones without too many knots. They come in 48in and 60in lengths and longer. You can make 2 feeders out of 1 board @ 1in x 6in x 4ft plus 1 board @ 1in x 6in x 5ft, so the plans have been drawn to account for a second feeder if you want one, to save waste. For 1 feeder only: 1in x 6in x 54in cedar (a 5ft fence board works well) (actual size will be somewhere around 3/4in x 5.25in x 5ft because of loss due to planning at the mill). 3/4in x 3/4in x 24in for lip to keep seeds in. (exact thickness is not too important) 12 @ 1.5in zinc plated screws 4 @ 1.25in zinc plated nails Silicone sealer 72in String or wire for hanging the feeder Waterproof glue (optional) |
