Needing some large capacity rapid feeders, (about 6 or 8), and seeing Thornes prices, I decided to review Hedgerow Pete's excellent video post and make a few up from available materials, - WBP ply and rescued pallets essentially.
I also had a few excellent instructional tips from Frisbee on carpentry and shed paint, (and a few other things like decorum and good behavior), and wonder whether readers would like to see a few pics of my home-made feeders.
Here's a pic of 'one I made earlier' in its finished state with folded metal lid.
it's 460mmx460mm externally, and 90mm deep internally. Following pics will show construction details
