Free Bird Feeder Plans
These free bird feeder plans are made entirely from old cedar fence boards. So not only are the plans free, but the materials are free as well. If you have been browsing mycarpentry.com, you may have noticed that I use old cedar fence boards on many projects. I use other repurposed materials as well.
These bird feeder projects require mostly hand tools and only one or two power tools to build. I used a table saw to rip the wood to size and a miter saw to cut the materials to length, but you can use a circular saw, if that is the only saw you have available, to make either of these two free bird feeder plans.

These wooden bird feeder plans make building a bird feeder a simple project. I built this bird feeder entirely from used cedar fence boards. The only cost was a handful of fasteners and a little wood glue.
Here's a homemade bird feeder that is simple and inexpensive to make. I built mine from used cedar fence boards left over from a fence replacement project.
Making a squirrel feeder might keep the squirrels out of your bird feeders. Well, okay, probably not. :-) This squirrel feeder is quick and easy to build if you have an old fence board handy, and the only cost is the price of a few nails.
Brome Squirrel Buster Plus
This year, we have had more squirrels than usual visit the "squirrel-proof" bird feeder we have had for the past several years. This bird feeder worked well at first, but it took little time before the clever beasts figured out how to get through the small squares in the cage that protected the bird food.
We first saw the Squirrel Buster Plus at a store near Fredericksburg, Texas. There was a video playing next to the bird feeder that showed several attempts by squirrels to get to the bird food but with no luck. This design looked like the perfect squirrel-proof feeder.
We ended up buying ours from Amazon.com. If you decide to purchase one for yourself, you will get a good deal through Amazon, and if you purchase it through the link on this page, you will be helping to support our site. The video below shows a squirrel trying to get to our Squirrel Buster Plus two days after we hung it up.
