welcome back to steve rob reviews today we're going to have some fun and i'm going to show
you how i built this squirrel feeder check out that baby right there and i'm going to have
you a real close look at it over on the bench and show you how it was actually built i think
anybody could build one of these and uh let's go over to the bench and let's take a look so let's
just take a quick look here first of all as you can see all i've got is some abs fittings here
now if you just cut a piece of abs pipe like i did and all i did was i got my hole saw and i
cut a uh two inch hole in the bottom here and then i just used the epoxy i just use the permatex but
whatever two-piece epoxy you like can fit in there and if you take a look you can see there
yeah i just epoxied it around i'll have you look inside as well but this is just a 90 and then a 45
and i just threw some black paint on it and that was it because
in the wintertime i want it to be black because i'll be using this over the winter time
and it just puts corn in here whole corn i'll show you that i'll show you installed in the tree
but if we get down at the other end here it's just got a cap you can just take the cap off
you know just as plain as simple as that and i've got a little bit of a uh just an eyelet there
on the top that goes like this and on one side i've got a hole and you can see that it's right
right here and all i do is i have a screw on the outside this goes through and that's it
but i'll show you on the inside what i did and how i actually got this piece to fit in here
okay so there we are there and if you take a look inside you can see this is just
four inch pvc pipe and you have to really smooth down the outside you can see where
i've i've sanded it down because you want to have that cap to slip off and on easily and all
i did is i had just a little piece of this fiber board here and i just jammed it right into the top
and then i pressed the the fitting in so once i once you press the fitting in
imagine this is not going to be on and this part's not going to be on
once you you only have like this much of material and once you just place it in here you apply your
two-part adhesive and then after about 20 minutes well you just knock this thing out and that's
all and it just left a little bit of fiber in there but if you take a look at the bottom here
i installed a couple of holes because you want to have some drainage right because you could
obviously see that it's sitting like this you'll have some rain water going there or snow during
the winter time so let's get this all installed i'll take you out in my uh little shed there
and i'll show you how i put the corn in and what the corn actually looks like and how you should
store the corn so let's do that next okay so we're out in the shed this is my container for my corn
and it's just as easy as just filling it up now with your corn you want to make sure that
that you're not putting a sealed lid on this or anything because they come in breathable bags in
the first place so that's about it there and you can see how that just sits here in the bottom of
the spout so now let's go out and put the lid on and i'll show you where it attaches in my tree
well it is the fall here and uh you notice my uh box there well that's the box i made for uh
my squirrel house and i'll show you that in the future but uh this is it right here i mean it's
not pretty or anything i just slapped the paint on it and if we do take a good look there you
could see where i've just got it banded around the tree there see if i give you a better look
i just put like a garden hose around it so i can get some half decent light here
there there you can see it there i just put like a tie strap in there with a loop and just hooked
it right on so that'll be it that right there and it's right in the trees and it's in a spot where
you know the squirrels will actually just you know crawl up on here and
just put their mouths in just to get the corn it just sits like that and you can see where
any moisture it'll drip out the bottom you know and that's easy enough so what i'm gonna
do is i'm gonna wait until the squirrels come and start feeding and then i'm gonna show you
well what do you think is that cute or what now that's my second squirrel
feeder that i put up i have another one in my other tree that's my first one
i'll put a playlist down below if you want to see my wildlife bird feeders and squirrel feeders and
future bird houses and bird feeders i quite enjoy doing this and i sure like feeding the squirrels
now a lot of people don't feed squirrels a lot of people you know kind of don't want squirrels
around their bird feeders and that kind of stuff well the squirrels don't go near my bird feeders
they got their own feeders now and they sure like that corn now i get a 50 pound bag of corn
for about 10 dollars and you know two bags last me well pretty much about five months so that's not
bad at all and uh you know what the squirrels love it sure they drop some on the ground but
surprisingly a lot of squirrels do not like to go up into the tree to feed out of the feeder they
like to get the corn from the ground so you know i thought that was quite interesting too because
i do have some gray squirrels as well and they will not feed off of that feeder but if there's
any corn down there delete it off the ground so thanks for joining me here today and you know
this is a very easy project to make you just need two four inch end caps a couple of abs plumbing
fittings a little bit of epoxy and you have a feeder that's good for life now that's not gonna
fall apart it's not like wood or it's not gonna rust that's pretty much a lifetime investment
of about ten dollars so thanks for joining me here today i hope you enjoyed this little bit of a
squirrel feeder and uh look forward to some more in the future if you haven't seen this
channel before well you're welcome to subscribe come back again and have some more fun with me
cheers
