This morning we are making a stand for the Wi-Fi Bird Feeder.

Don't have any preconceived ideas about this one and certainly no napkin sketch. Let's go for a stroll around the place and see what we can find.

Wi-Fi Bird feeder - Part 3A

In the last session we mounted the water valve on a round plywood base.

Components are sitting on two fence palings that I dressed in the planer/jointer machine. Thinking... shuffling things around.

Happy with that so remove from the actuator to fix on the plywood disc.
