The bird feeder shown here looks store-bought but was made with materials from the home center and grocery store. The copper top is a cap for a 44 deck post, and the clear body is made from a plastic soda bottle. The rest of the feeder was cut from a single cedar board, and it all comes together with tools you probably have hanging around your garage.
