You owe me a new keyboard, Mikey. Mine just got wine all over it.

I bet he could weld you a pretty cool keyboard

I don't see any bugs or any evidence of bugs. I though maybe I was overwatering, would that do it. Remember, I do NOT have a green thumb. I'm happy the darn things are even alive. But I really, really do want home grown tomatoes!

My first thought was the sun....when we had tomato plants the leaves did that during the day. check at night or better,early in the morn when its cool to see if they are still like that. if not then its the hot sun wilting them.

I'll check them tomorrow am. Thanks!

It was worth it. Where should I send it?

You might not be able to type on it but it would look cool!

Looks GREAT!!!

One suggestion I would add is trying to put a lip over the edges of the eating trough section--that way they cannot bill out the food as easily.

Any idea what the costs will be?

I was going to ask my hubby to weld one but it looks like way too much work. I'll just stick to my big cat feeder.
Where do you buy your metal? My husband was wondering where to get metal for projects.

Industrial metal supply has everything. Full retail prices though. American metals on Country Club & Broadway is more reasonable but more limited. Freeway metals for inexpensive steel stuff - not sure about non ferrous there though.

Oh and BTW - it is gong to be a ridiculous amount of work!

IMS is the most FACINATING store, though! And fittings are way less expensive than places like Home Depot, Lowes or Ace.

Mikey D! Dude, you got skillz.

It looks fantastic. I agree wholeheartedly with Sonoran Silkies about the lip to keep them from billing out feed. Maybe you could bend the piece down that would come in contact with the bottom of the beak. That was why I changed the dimensions of the "lip insert" (It drove me nuts coming up with simple names for things like that in my description). In the first version they would sometimes bill out feed if there were preferred items mixed in with the pellets. That was a problem when I was feeding most of their dry treats (e.g. BOSS) in the treadle feeder too (just to keep it away from the wild birds). I made that lip wider in version 2.0, but perhaps it could be made even wider. They don't bill it out on that one much at all and neither one loses enough feed to attract wild birds. I was working within the confines of a 1/2 sheet of plywood or I would have made everything wider at the bottom there. I certainly hope that you are keeping notes and taking pictures along the way. You could sell those or make a page and win the next BYC feeder contest or both!
