Follow Mark Rayner's directions to create a simple hanging bird feeder from a few pieces of plywood and a terracotta pot and saucer.
You will need: 40mm galvanised nails, 9cm terracotta pot, 13cm terracotta saucer, 3 pieces of 19mm treated plywood measuring 90mm x 380mm, 1 x 25mm treated plywood measuring 90mm x 380mm, clean cloth, tape measure or ruler, pencil, saw, sandpaper, set square, hammer drill with drill bit, exterior PVA glue, stainless-steel eye, hook, paintbrush, exterior construction glue and length of galvanised chain, two Resene Waterborne Woodsman testpots of Resene Totem Pole.
Here’s another idea: The wooden frame could also be constructed from offcuts of decking planks and painted with any Resene testpot colour – but do ensure any bare wood is first primed with a coat of Resene Quick Dry.
Step 1
Measure and mark the pieces of plywood to the required dimensions listed. Use the back of the saw or set square to rule cutting lines at 90 degrees.
Step 5
Screw the eye hook into the centre of the 25mm-piece of plywood, drilling a pilot hole first.
