I just cut a hole in the bottom of a 2 gallon plastic tree/plant container. Nailed it to a dead tree. Worked great, did the job.

Naw, I just reckon I gave him such a hard time about his favorite bird that I owe him one.

Actually, I just think they are good cones at a good price.

I made some killing cones last year out of flashing material. Here's a link to a detailed tutorial I posted here at BYC.

Nice! But I don't have all the stuff needed or tools!

Buy a pair of red handled metal shears, and a rivet tool. I assume you already have a drill and bits.

Nice tutorial Dan. Nice old school Makita drill.

Thanks Dogfish. Yeah that makita impact driver is my most used tool. I dropped it about 4 years ago and had to repair the trigger but it's still holding up.

You don't even need the rivet gun. Just get some nuts, bolts and washers. The shears are hard to do without though. I suppose you could cut it with an angle grinder if you have one of those.

I have one of those new 18V Makita impact drivers. Light, compact, and super powerful. Screws and nuts would certainly work.
