Making a bird feeder

[Norppu]

My welding skills are not there and I need to improve them.
I am making something useful while learning to weld.



The birds do not mind the apperences so a feeder for them is a good project.
The birds are satisfied as long as there is food available no matter how the feeder looks.

In this video I am using:
- Schaublin SV-51 (1955) Milling machine
- Solberga (1975) Drill press

That is an amazing build, however, there may be an issue depending on where you live. In freezing climates, birds can have their tongues frozen to metal feeders. If you are in warmer climates it is a non-issue.

Nice job on the build.

Quite the most saw-slot intensive way of bending something into a circle, and maybe the fanciest most solid bird feeder ever. Very nice!
I have seen a few of Esko's videos, and they are all right up my street for machine-related stuff.

Finno Ugric is a minority language population group from the Urals, assimilated into the Russian Federation. I think it gets pretty cold up there, and if birds would have a problem with incredibly cold metal, that would be the very place.

I think I might call the solid style of that bird feeder "Neo-Soviet Chic".

It can get very cold up here.
The wire the birds are intended to sit has a plastic cover to make it less cold. Birds do not have trouble with their "tongue" sticking to things as they do not have that much saliva.
