How to build a deer feeder Stand and fill

Tools required for building the base
Welder
Welding hood
Gloves
Grinder
Cutoff wheels
Speed square
Tape measure
Marker
Level
Materials
2x-2” weld on henges. I used “barrel henges”
1x- spring loaded latch
2”x2”1/8” angle iron
1”x1”x1/8” angle iron
2”x4” horse panel they vary in height and length so whatever you find available to you. Tractor supply sales the panels also.
Material cut list
2”x2”x1/8” Angle;
4x-23 1/2” cut at 45 deg both sides (base for barrel)
4x-27” cut at 22.5 deg one side (legs)
2x-4’ straight cut (skis)
1”x1”x1/8” Angle;(door)
1x- 22 3/4” cut at 35 deg both sides
1x- 31” cut at 55 deg both sides
2x 13” cut at 35 deg on one side and 55deg on the other. (Careful with orientation) if you build the door with say 1”x1” square tubing it is easier not to get these cuts backwards.
Horse panel
1x- 32 1/2”x32 1/2” (bottom of cage)
4x- 32 1/2” x 12” cut at 22.5 deg (sides) (I would recommend cutting it long. Then holding it up to your legs or door then marking it with a sharpie to guarantee a good fit)

This is exactly the video I was looking for. Gonna build some of these throughout the summer for deer season. Thanks brother!

[@roytamez2944]

Thanks for sharing your deer feeder build. I am working on replacing my existing ones. I am done climbing on my tub and ladder. I will be building some like yours. Again thank you for a great video! Have a Great Day!

[@jamor2549]

Really nice man, but gotta use better timers. All season feeders make nice ones that come with “The Timer” those things are reliable, had one for over twenty years and the only reason it stopped working was because a hog knocked over my feeder and demolished the timer

[@inthbrze]

that thing is sweet!! great video

[@Joester08]

Man I wish I would have found this video sooner. I spent wayyyyyyyy to much money on store bought feeders and their junk. Nothing beats hand made!

[@richardharris2928]

Great video thanks so much for posting. You have inspired me to build one. Beats the heck out of carrying a ladder to fill the feeders.

[@JH-4058]

Love the build we definitely use it for my next deer feeders

[@robertmostowski5702]

Excellent video. Awesome fabrication!

[@3rdCoastYaker]

Those look good. Thanks for sharing.

[@haysfab6087]

Thanks!

[@vjjames4567]

excelente video great craftmans ship. made it look easy as 1-2-3.

[@tommysmith6914]

Nice work!!!

[@anteprlic9676]

Nicely constructed. Have you experience if feeder that low will withstand wild hogs? Especially when almost empty..

[@danhahn8433]

Nice work.

[@JohnThomas-gj2zg]

Nice job well done

[@natesmith7477]

Great video!

Nice job buddy!

[@randyhill2509]

Damn fine job

Fine job.

[@kenthutchins1431]

Thanks man very good.

[@haysfab6087]

Thanks I hope it helps!

[@user-im5cn3ir2f]

Great video. How much for one. And do you put a funnel inside of the barrel.

[@GrillinandChillinwithColeman]

Great video. I think I can build one now. Do you put a funnel in the bottom of your barrel? Also, whT gap do you use between the bottom cone and the spinning tray? Thanks.

[@HollywoodMGB3]

Thank you for a great video and design. What do you use to clean the iron before painting?

[@hobbyguy3254]

Nice job sir! Do you use a funnel inside of your barrels?

[@toxicpink06]

How did you make a jig for the legs the only problem I’ve had is getting the legs at the same distance from one another. Thanks for the video!

[@dennismarshall1374]

Nice feeder. Do you have any suggestions on what tool to buy to bend 1 1/2 square tubing for legs for a barrel ?

[@FYMM69]

Awesome job and slick idea. What size (2”x2” maybe) and wall thickness of Angle iron do you prefer. Tnx very much

[@haysfab6087]

Thanks! It is 1/8” thick angle iron. I don’t find it necessary to use anything heavier for this it is stout

[@joelemmons5487]

Great video, I showed it to my Ag Mech classes. Do you actually bolt or weld any bracket on the barrel to the frame or does the barrel just sit on there?

[@haysfab6087]

I’ll will put a few tack welds on barrel down to the base. Thanks!!

[@cpso764]

You mentioned you have a jig for the feeder legs. I would like to see a photo of the jig you made to hold the feeder legs in place while you weld it.

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Very nice. How much money do you have tied up into one of those feeders? How heavy are they?

[@haysfab6087]

There is about 100$ in materials not including the timer. They weigh around 70-80 pounds before you add your corn.

[@tylercunningham405]

Great Video. Just what I was looking for. If I build one with longer legs would that change any angles or cuts ?

[@haysfab6087]

Thanks. So you can keep everything the same if you want longer legs and the only thing that will change is the length of your legs and the length of skis. I would just measure for your ski once you attached the longer legs. The 22.5 degree gives you a wide base and it’s stable. Hope it helps

[@tylercunningham405]

@@haysfab6087 yes sir it does. Thank you

[@user-uk8yq3yu6t]

I was just talking to my brother about building one of these so we dont have to use a ladder to fill feeders ill be building 1 this weekend we hunt in hillsboro tx not to far from you

[@user-im5cn3ir2f]

How much. How long does a build take you

[@mattcollier1712]

awesome work! What work pants do you use?

[@haysfab6087]

Some carhartt rugged work pants is my fav

[@jdlf117]

What is the total length of angle iron needed

[@attaway9able]

Do you sell just the base??

[@ramart4875]

How much do you sell these for? They look great! N

[@haysfab6087]

Thanks! Just for the bases around 400$ and all put together with either with a 6v or 12v depending on additional accessories ranges from 500-600$

[@ramart4875]

Thanks. They look great!

[@linemang4337]

@@haysfab6087 What size barrel are you using? Also what gauge horse panel are you using? Thanks, LinemanG

[@jerrykey9053]

Do you think it will hold up from a bear. I'm trying to do something different this year because of the bears.

[@haysfab6087]

I don’t have bears other than the gummy ones so I really don’t know. I was asked to build one for a guy and he recommended putting spikes on it and on top but I opted not to attempt it. So I can’t confirm or deny.

[@mattbalsinger9367]

Where are you located bud?

[@fosterakers7198]

How much are these?

[@rmj951]

Do you sell these?

[@big91whiskey]

How about if you had cows? Seems like they might knock it over

[@Parker_Hart]

You could use mobile home tie downs and concrete them in the ground

[@wata9900]

WHY YOU PUT FOR SALE IN AMAZON? I WANT 2 ...THANKS

[@gaelewis6623]

[@swisswend8177]

I am looking for the latch pin you are using. My local welding supply places don't carry them. Where did you get yours from?
