Repurposed Bird Feeders
December 27th, 2012 in member junk
Here's a couple of repurposed metal birdfeeders I just finished. The first is more elegant and has silverplate and brass components. It can also serve as maybe a valet for different objects from keys to change to bills to mail or whatever else might come to mind. The second is my most elaborate dust pan bird feeder to date. It started as a vintage copper-finish dust pan. I added some chrome handles, an oven thermometer and manipulated the metal here and there.

Georgiamoon, I've got a good handful of species coming through at different times of the year but nothing like some of my peers out in the country.
Lanette, oddly enough, I use very few of my creations in my own yard. I sell most everything I make to spread the word and use others for family gifts.
Sue, what can I say?!? You make all of this possible by allowing us all to voice our creative minds and share ideas with each other.
MakinItHappen, I have to admit that I work out of a 3-bay garage and it's completely full of so much I couldn't even begin to list them. I've got everything from a vintage Jeep lighting rack to silverplate chargers and everything in between. My wife has dreams of one day parking in the garage again, but I would hate to mislead her.

Be Well,

These are SO good! I love the way you add such interesting little perches for the little birdies! Just how many birds do you have living in the area surrounding your house? I'll bet they come from near and far to see what you have built for them.
