Thread-topic: [Shop-talk] Bear proof bird feeder.
Stop feeding the birds when the bears come out of hibernation???  By this time 
in the spring the birds should be able to find sufficient food on their own. 
It's what our friends to in WY to avoid having bear guests on the second floor 
deck.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Bear proof bird feeder.

I have a bird feeder on a post made out of galvanized iron pipe. Bear keeps 
bending it to the ground and I keep bending it back. Tired of this routine so I 
plan on making a bear/squirrel proof bird feeder.  I ordered a 7.5'x3" 
aluminized steel 16 gauge exhaust pipe (required shop content for this post).  
I'll dig down about a foot to bedrock.  Cement the pipe to the bedrock and 
fill the pipe with cement, kinda like a lolly column.  I'm pretty sure this 
will be strong enough to resist the bear, unless he brings his brother, and 
thick enough that the squirrels can't climb it.

On top of this I plan to make and weld a bid feeder but not sure what thickness 
of steel to used.  Once complete I'll paint paint auto paint. Any insights?  
Thanx
