Bird Bath & Watering Station

With temps soaring above 100 degrees I wanted to give my neighborhood birds some relief. This simple bird bath stand is made of scraps. The bowl is an inexpensive plastic container-plant saucer, available at any garden center. I added the rock as a perch for birds and bees. Painted it blue to attract the Western Bluebirds that use the nestbox I built nearby.

Comment by Ernie Slone on August 22, 2018 at 2:02pm: Carl, I drove a piece of rebar into the ground, leaving about 18 inches above ground. I then slipped 1/2-inch conduit tube over that and secured those together with a coupler. One screw on the coupler tightens to the rebar and the other to the conduit pipe. Then I just attached the conduit to the back of the mounting post (which faces away from the street so it is not in open view). I have used this system with a number of bird next boxes and it works well. Here is a link with more details: http://nestboxbuilder.com/nestbox-tutorial-mounting-box.html

Free Hand Guard (dust collection)

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone has used the Woodpecker Free Hand Guard for dust collection on their bench top router table during pattern routing. How effective is it? It's adaptable to any router table. Continue
