Easy DIY squirrel-proof platform bird feeder in an afternoon!
#diy #easywoodworking #diyideas
Building a bird feeder is a perfect way to introduce yourself (or kids!) to the joys of woodworking AND bird-watching. Our little songbirds need help during the colder months because they can lose one third of their body weight overnight trying to stay warm! A squirrel-proof platform feeder appeals to all varieties of songbirds, including cardinals, blue jays, finches, nut hatches, chickadees, grosbeaks, and red-winged blackbirds. It's also a big help for birds that can't handle complicated little feeders and prefer to forage on the ground (or on a platform) like sparrows, flickers, and juncos. Skills you'll learn include drilling, screwing, counter-sinking...

Wood carving for beginners! Make an easy coat rack with simple tools
خانم مگ رافمن شما بی نظیر هستید و آموزشهاتون واقعا عالی هست من شما رو بخاطر نقش اولویا کینگ در سریال جاده ای به آونلی تحسین میکنم 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I like the Healy
I think yt algorithm is telling me to learn to be independent and do stuff since I broke up with my boyfriend even though I’m dizzy like Mags it will be hard yes but I can do it 💪
So nice to see you on the tv again Ms. Ruffman!
Well Mag, I now have a vision of you up in the Bell Tower (my workplace) after drinking your homemade beer... with the odd grunt...😍!! Cheers, Bernie
I mean this as the highest compliment imaginable. This Old Tony meets Pee Wee's playhouse. Thank You RUclips algorithm!
I loved seeing the clockwork toys! The clock mechanisms reminded me of when I removed the second hands from every clock at home to make them quieter. I became over-confident and ended up ruining my mum's living room clock, so I had to buy a new mechanism and replace it. 😆
Make the peg slightly shorter so the taper is further up making the diameter larger to fit the hole better and it goes in the hole deeper.
Well that would have been a lot faster! Where were you when I needed you in 1997?!
@@toolgirl Wish you were here. Wish I were there!
Well, the clamping part was... entertaining. (Been there myself: 'cept that when it was happening to me I didn't find it entertaining! 😤 ) That peeling off a sliver of wood to hide the nail looks golden! Thanks! Wish I had watched your video before I built that frame that was almost ruined because the pin nails weren't buried deep enough to fill the holes.
Is this an automated content company
Is this a real question? ;)
@@toolgirl I believe the question is AI generated. : )
@@Darryl603 Uh oh, the AIs are getting curious. That can't be good.
How do you move the bags and leftover product after you destroy the packaging?
You were great! Love that smile through the whole experience! Thank you 😁👍
Your builds would be alot easier if you pirchased the proper tools.( I.E clamps) not to be rude or discourage you. But you teally shouldn't be wearing long sleves when operating any power tool. The risk of static electricity drawing in the fabric is quite high. And on the subject of the build, common nails tend to work lose with humidity and temperature change. As wood tends to expand and contract be it how ever little ,It's enough to losen up the nails over time. "learn to do the simple things in woodworking correctly and the harder ones be come easier"
I’m very new to building things, what can you do to fix the issue with the nails ?
@@eliesec6045 you had the right idea in your video. Why are there other nail holes besides those?
I wondered how you were going to solve the clamping problem and you surprised me. You did very well at solving the problem. Excellent!
Wowie zowie, been taking a look at your inventory of videos and I have to say, I just love the style and aesthetic you're going for here! all the decisions, the camera work, the filters, the audio quality even down to attire and sets, gives the "authentic cable/VHS" look that I just adore, it's like you're a presenter from the 90s that we all somehow missed, but we've found here now as a hidden gem on the Internet! You deserve so many followers, stay on pace, you're absolutely crushing it! 😁👍
WHATAMINUTE! holy moly! Well I feel very silly, it only took a 5 minute Google to find the results, that being said, I still love these videos!😁 And I stand by what I said before, if someone today did this aesthetic from back then, it would do SO well now, it'd be hard for them to replicate your genuine and affable presentation style mag 😊
Thank you.
5' 5" So cute! : )
You must be a wonderful person, just judging by the way you handle and react to your mistakes. I smiled with you.
Hahahaha I just got to the bit where you sounded like Yoda.
Oh how I wish you'd made more of these. Always guaranteed to cheer me up. I have both feet in plaster casts because at one point, my toes curled so far back they all snapped.
This woman is an absolute nut !
thank you
What!! Mag is a DIY chick... love it! I've subscribed
Thanks for subscribing. Newer stuff is coming this fall!
looks like Pee-Wee's playhouse for crafting. I'm hooked
That's exactly what we were going for!
Like your relaxed and happy presentation style. Also, beautifully videographed and sound recorded. Lastly, like the simplified design of the belt. Think I’ll make this. Thanks!
I still wear both of my belts, even though they're 25 years old! I hope you have fun if you make one for yourself. xo
❤ i remember the programme very well ❤
Thank you I first found you from the program" the Road to Avonlea" and I've been a fan ever since,so when I found you are producing content on RUclips I was really pleased, I hope you are well as I realise these are from the archives,anyway thanks xx
You're right, these are all somewhat ancient! Hence the old standard def 4:3 ratio. But we're working on newer stuff for the fall!
The mortar is too dry.
You're right, dead dry. I should have stopped the shooting to add more water but I was too much of a newb.
What about if dont have any source of humidity ..no bathroom , no dryer
Basements can be damp because rainwater is getting in through the walls or windows, and they can be naturally damp in humid climates because moisture condenses on cold surfaces (i.e. how the outside of a glass gets wet when you fill it with ice water). So moisture can build up in a basement, particularly in summer, even if you don't have a bathroom or dryer installed downstairs.
Feet tea?!? I'll stick to red wine, thank you very much.
Right! Dang, there's tannin in wine - why would we ever soak our feet in tea if wine was an option. Grrrr. Thank you.
Thanks Mag
Oh. I have hired and fired bricklayers over the years, but oh Mag, I'm speechless. Stay brilliant, you cheer me up.
You've made my day! xo
Love her. Use to enjoy A Repair to Remember.
Grew up watching these with my sister when we were younger. I have 2 daughters and showed them 1 episode and they were hooked. I get the angle of quirk you were going for and I like seeing the project “mistakes” that we all experience haha I would love to know where to view all 52 episodes, I want to rewatch them with them (I hope it’s part of your website revamp and more are posted there! )
Love this. Thanks for sharing!
Best bits are your reflections :-) Deep.
Good luck getting flat wood today... :-}
When do we get some 2024 shows? Thanks for sharing love this!

I’m so glad you’re still releasing these videos. There’s alway something relatable. Recently I was replacing my electric shower and laughed at some of the little annoying problems that made it take longer.
Tool time 😅😊
Rock harder in 3 minutes 😮😅
Okay hoser 😮😅

Thank you so much for sharing❤. Me and my family love watching this show
Loved it!
Would always watch it with my family every Sunday evening. I have a family connection with Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Thanks Mag. That was fun!
Hi there, an off topic comment which I hope isn’t inappropriate. A fellow Canadian and talented furniture refinisher/repairer (female) also has a RUclips channel, John’s Furniture Repair . She is currently going through a difficult time mainly from an either unscrupulous or incompetent company mismanaging the build of her new shop, as well as health issues AND (one of those years). Her last video explains the whole saga. As the original Canadian woman with a shop, I think it would lift her spirits if you were to drop her a comment. Her followers are covering her losses, but a little sprinkling of celebrity dust would help too! ❤
Let me look into that. Thanks for the heads up. I'm travelling this week so it might take me a day or two. Mag
