This is a simple little project that would be fun to do with a child or grandchild. It's sort of a cross between a bird feeder and a suit feeder. The idea is that you fill the holes with a mix of peanut butter and bird seeds. The birds then pick it out of the holes. It sort of makes them work for their supper.
Here's what you'll need:
 Using a miter saw or hand saw, cut the roof peek 30 degrees to the center.
 Use a 1/2" Forsterner bit to drill the large holes and a 1/4" bit for the perch holes.
 16-Pc. Forstner Bit Set Set the depth on the drill press so that it's about 1/8" shy of the back of the board.
 Using the drill table you built from the plans on our web site, www.runnerduck.com/drill_press_table.htm, set it up so you can drill all the holes in one row at a time.
I made the roof from some old cedar shingles I had. I cut them 2 1/2" wide. I made three courses of shingles with each course spaced back from the previous one by about 1 1/2".
Glue the shingles to the roof and tack it in place with a couple of brads on each side.

Cut and glue the perch's into the holes.
 That's about it. We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
