…hope this is still on topic.

I’ve had this lamp collecting dust for about ten years with the plan to repair it at some point. Now i wanted to build a bird feeder for my balcony and remembered the lamp and thought i’d try this. I love it and the birds seem to love it too. Or maybe it’s the nuts they love.

Can’t wait for the season to begin so i can grow some plants too again.

    You have a lovely crop of birbs coming up! They will love it when you are able to add some greenery too.

    I think this counts. You have turned what is often a dead, underused space and added a little life. That to me is the spirit of this community.

      Right? I wanted to build a feeder that keeps the bird shit away from my table and balcony floor. I still have a feeding plate on the table but i think i will remove it after winter.

      The string is just so that it doesn’t go all over the place in the wind. It was quite stormy in the last days and i was a bit worried, but i’m quite impressed with the storm proofness, there were some heavy gusts. Wind comes always from the left.

      *edit: String is long enough that i can still turn the lamp onto my table to refill etc.
