So my feeder bit the dust, was a cheap ol' plastic one and a limb fell on it. Was trying to find some good step by step instrutions for a feeder that I could make off of here but I can't really find any using the search function. I don't have a lot of money right now so I'm limited to about 60 bucks in materials. I'd really like to make one that i can just trhow over a tree. Anyone have any plans?

Your gonna be very limited then with only 60 bucks. Timers are not cheap and if you want to put it in a tree, you'll need a winch too. -
I've got the timer from my old unit...so that's not a problem, I've just got 60 bucks for materials only.Comment

Go to a auto lube service center or maybe even Walmart and ask for one of their used 15 gallon drums. They use them for oil and grease. A little cleaning and you are ready to go.Comment

I bolted two five gallon buckets together. one on top of the other with the bottom cut out of the top bucket. cut a hole in the bottom bucket for the feeder spout and motor assembly and you are ready to go. Mine holds a little over a bag of corn and lasts for about two weeks spining twice a day during deer season.Comment

if you don't have legs, run 5/8" x 36" all thread thru the barrel and hook chain to the ends to hang it in a tree.Comment
