The author has built a hexagonal platform feeder with a screen floor. The design of the feeder was inspired by a picture found on the internet, but the author modified the bottom and mounting to make it more sturdy. The feeder was made from a 3-foot piece of pressure-treated 2×10 wood leftover from another project.
The wooden portion of the feeder consists of about 14 pieces, and the author used some interesting joinery techniques. This was an early project using a router and table gifted to the author by their wife for their birthday.
The screen floor of the feeder allows water to shed through, preventing seeds from becoming moldy or waterlogged. The hexagonal shape of the feeder also adds aesthetic appeal to the backyard.
Overall, the author created a functional and visually appealing feeder using their woodworking skills and creativity.
