whitewill1412 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 The other day my significant other asked me if I had a hook or something to hang the hummingbird feeder that she just got. I said I can make one. Oh boy a project! I had a piece of railroad spike that I had drawn out and used for some other stuff. I took that piece and made a hummingbird feeder holder. When finished I coated it with beeswax. That's the first time I have done that. I think it turned out nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGoatLady Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 It's pretty great to make what you need isn't it? Good job! We had bought some old chicken tractors when I first started smithing and they had screen doors on them. No door pulls so I made some. They were very plain but man I was proud to have made them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewill1412 Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 Yeah it's cool to look at it and show it to people and say "I made that". I hope she gives me more projects to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 That'll work nicely Will. Next time you make a hanger like that extend the end screwed to the post long enough to use two screws. The longer length will also extend the moment of leverage trying to pull the screw, nail, etc. out of the post. The trick I use is do the twisting before drawing the ends it makes it easier to get even twists and makes the transition from twist to what ever smoother. Frosty The Lucky.

Daswulf Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 It's really satisfying to be able to make something needed and have pride that you made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
