Wildlife Feeder Stand

admin

This was a relatively quick afternoon project.  I just welded a few pieces of scrap together for the base, bent a piece of pipe and stuck it on top.  It ain't pretty. but it works.I tested it out in the chicken yard before taking it out to the woods.  It supports the weight of the feeder (about 40 lbs full of corn) just fine.I decided to get out the stinger and try burning some rod today.  I guess I could stand to practice a bit... it's been a while.  I've gotten so spoiled with the MIG.  This was 1/8 E6013 on a flat lap joint.  Material is approximately 3/16.  I need to work on eliminating the undercutting.  Last edited by Leadhead1911; 09-07-2009 at 10:31 PM.Work HARDER, not smarter! ------------------------ Miller Bobcat 250Millermatic 251Lincoln Precision TIG 185Hypertherm PM 600Hobart 135 HandlerOxweld 400 FlameMaster

Reply:Ah, okay.  Actually, that's exactly what I was wondering about, how it worked.  May have to look into one of those ... Wally World, eh?Yes, feeders are like that.  Our quail and general wildlife here are trained very well ... as soon as the back door slides open, there's a mad rush up the wash to our patio and the feeders and fountains.  Quails, pigeons, doves, some javalinas now and then, ground squirrels, sometimes a snake or two  ...
