Although I don't have the skill to make this feeder myself, I wish I did. It is well written and has detailed, clear instructions and complete diagrams for visual aid. The whole project is easy to understand, as it is divided into steps that would be simple to follow.
I'm going to show this article to my husband. He knows how to make things like this!!
