As someone older, I remember in high school having Home Economics, Auto Woodworking classes, which unfortunately aren't taught anymore, which is such a shame. Your kids are lucky to have you teaching them so much. Most kids now are lost on Cooking, basic Auto Shop, and even basic Woodworking. I was fortunate enough to be raised in the South during a time when we were raught all of those things at home. Cooking wasn't limited to the girls and Auto shop, and Woodworking wasn't limited to the boys. So I got to learn the basics on all three and set free to use my imagination. You're doing a great job as a Dad, and you definitely have your job cut out for you on this competition because the boys did a great job.

[@daniellehaggard7401]

Me too. My kid is being homeschooled and taught to cook and clean as well as having a successful business online with art.

[@chrisbrumbaugh9936]

Dig it

[@timkaldahl]

I've been teaching for 35 years and the only school I taught in that didn't teach these things was a private k - 10 school. I've even done a storage shed build in one of my geometry classes to answer the age old question of , "when am I ever going to use this?"

[@shoans3897]

I too had these classes! I loved it (except for drafting, no on the math, lol) we even did electrical making lamps out of liquor bottles, ( I know def can’t do that now) Later I made a doll lamp and a stuffed animal lamp for my cousins. Now as a 55 yr old female, just now getting into woodworking I love it, hubby not so much as I’m invading his shop.

[@daniellehaggard7401]

We had clubs called FHA and HERO for Home Economics Related Occupations like culinary skills, baking, seamstress and etc... I still take off jobs altering clothing for people.

[@normancurd8719]

Love the contest with your children. keeps them wanting to work and create. Builds their character! Great parenting bud! I personally like the swing by the way!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks! I believe that keeping creativity flowing is important to build anyone's character. Yea the swing is going to be tough to beat.

[@jasonhelle350]

Love your channel. I just dusted off all my tools after years of not doing much woodwork. Found your channel and have started making every one of your projects (almost) Thank you for getting me back into something I forgot I truly enjoy.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Awesome. Welcome back to the community!

[@mr.fukk12]

I used to love woodworking until I moved to Texas and all the contractors out here don’t care about anything and they lie and try to shortcut everything and they just don’t care enough to do everything right and want everything done as good as I want it done so it’s just a crappy situation working for these clowns and I can’t take a risk of going out on my own right now cause of other variables but eventually I will and I will be able to do good work on my own and will get back to loving what I do. Maybe a side hustle like this will get me back into it

[@jameswalker9210]

I think the seat boards need to be 12" long to enable a 1" overhang.

[@DesignCutters]

Seat boards have 1/2 inch overhang

[@wordswritteninred7171]

Oh man! If only I saw this about 30 minutes ago!

Once again brother, another creative and informative build knocked outta the park. These 103 days plus have been kick'n my butt on any builds here the past 6 weeks. Hope all is well, Matt. Have a great day sir, many thanks!

[@comedian0338]

I made the picnic tables last summer and added a small lip around the top of the table, so that a person could fill it with feed, I even made a few slightly bigger ones for someone who wanted them for their chicken feed.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Awesome idea!

[@Woojo01]

"Crumb snatchers" 🤣🤣🤣

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

I've been selling squirrel peanut feeders in my Etsy shop all summer. I've sold 28 of them since May. I have a bird feeder that has sold really well this month after only selling 2-3 the last 3 months. I added some jack o' lanterns to my shop last month and they're already outperforming the squirrel feeder over the last 30 days. Everything is made from fence pickets. Smalls, baby!

[@rickbooher8224]

I like that picnic table you could use for a condiment holder to set in the center of your table. The swinging seat is so quaint it reminds me of simmer days out on the porch but for squirrels. Like all the ideas you and your children give.

[@Backyard_Creations]

The Chick-nic picnic table has gotten the most attention on my posts and events. Sadly I have only sold 2 but I am still hopeful. I have a large event in October fingers crossed I sell out of them!

Lol I do! I don’t like to get beat 😂

[@ohhunter450]

Awesome stuff. Love that your kids are involved.

[@davidward1259]

Well, minus the center screw, my grandson would want a mini-swing of his own. I might have to upscale it a little bit as he's turning 5. I love your video's and your kids are bringing some skills to the game for sure! In a 21st century world where most college graduates can't even balance a checkbook or make change for a purchase, it's nice to see kids picking up very useful life skills (like they actually used to teach, but I'm showing my age). Great that you are donating any plan sales to the appropriate kid designer (I will pick up both). Another great video, thanks for sharing.

[@davidhundorfean7470]

I purchased the plans for the squirrel table and I must say, it is very detailed. Great work!

[@TheDalejr881]

I ordered my plans!! Can’t wait to get into my shop this week to get some of these made!!

[@Princess_karen]

This picnic table would be great to hold salt and pepper and mustard and ketchup for the big picnic table. You could put the ketchup and mustard in the round squirt bottles they would be adorable to hold these condiments

[@ericschenck9954]

Great idea!! Thanks for sharing man!!

[@raymondtroyer2588]

for the swing you say 10" boards for seat frame and 10" for seat boards but seat boards are suppose to hang over by 1" on both sides. not sure which one is correct. Either seat frame should be 8" or seat boards should be 12"

[@joshbolton4916]

Can't wait for the holiday builds this year. I'm going to try a few of these and then start gearing up for the holidays. Last year I got a late start and didn't sell too much,plan to start early this year. Another great video brother.

[@CartoonMuse69]

So, I made the pumpkin (the innerlocking ones) and the mini picnic table. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I am practicing as the end of year approaches and next year I'm going to take a shot at selling stuff. 😊 Beats remodelling old nasty mobile homes thats for sure.

[@ckasey311]

"Crum Snatchers" is fantastic! I think you're a little off on the lengths of the seat slates. You said the base is 10" long and the seat slates are 10". This doesn't leave an overhang. I don't think the verticle back supports are 10" either. I haven't looked at the plans yet.

[@carriemyre5809]

Love these Matt!! Made alot of your smalls projects but the squirrel plans are my favorites!! Thank you for sharing

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

[@jessiehaldiman5405]

Such a fun idea! What about a mini Adirondak chair? Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[@DesignCutters]

For some reason people are getting confused by the slats - they have 1/2 inch overhang over the side assemblies. Repeat the video at 5:33 - just position the side assemblies so that you have the slats positioned with 1/2 inch overhang.

[@cruciblephoenix1037]

Pls check dimensions mentioned in video. Several appear to be mis-stated. Example is if base is 10 wide the slats cant be 10 and have 1inc hangs.

[@chrisstier465]

That threw me off as well.

[@josephm7413]

Love all your videos!! Great information in them. I do have 1 question for you. When your building something with fence pickets, they don't look like the ones in the big orange store. The fence pickets ceder are around ,$15 to $20 a piece. Can you share which fence pickets you use. TIA

[@mewmewmeow99]

I love your work and all of your ideas. Any chance you'd be able to do more chicken items? Like an easy to build pen that is lightweight and easy to move. I plan to grow out chicks next year and don't like the idea of spending $300+ on a pen that's only gonna last a couple of years. Thank you so much for all the inspiration you give!

[@spiritualkicksrt]

A source for water for areas hit by drought. Maybe even make a specific water holder alone, separate from the feeder so food does not foul the water. I have a very low profile cement 'bowl' I made for water for smaller creatures. Drought is very bad here. I now have to fill it daily.

[@bridgetmartinez8475]

So I came across one of your videos, and now I'm hooked!! I just made one of the 3 picket planter boxes..not perfect but I'm proud of it. (Never made anything before) my silly question is "what is the ruler thing called ?" You use it to measure your screw placement s. It would be sooooo much easier than a tape measure.. thanks in advance and love love love the videos!!!

[@waterwalker813]

the ruler thing is called a rule stop . you can get at rockler or woodcraft with the rule or without it

[@lynedington5587]

I would like to see if you can frame up a shallow box with a screen bottom and use it in the seat sectionto convert the porch swing to a bird feeder.

[@PhoenyxAshe]

As someone who had not thought of using a fence picket as a building supply (love the idea)... how thick are they, typically? From eyeballing as you hold up the pieces, I would guess between a half to three quarters of an inch? I ask because I had been looking at trying something like this to use with my laser cutter... and I'd need to figure out how many layers I might need, at least for the support pieces. Also, as a possible add-on: The area I live is fairly treeless, so to get my squirrel fix I wind up going to one of several local parks. After watching one poor squirrel trying to get a drink from a sidewalk puddle, I started adding a few small cups for water to my "squirrel kit" (a pencil box with peanuts, sunflower seeds, and other treats). You could just place one on the table, or add velcro to both table and cup, but my thought had been to cut a hole in the table that the cup could drop into, and use a cup/container that has a lid. In addition to not needing a separate bottle to carry the water (in my case), these containers usually have a lip that would also keep them from falling through the hole.

[@DavidEverhart-hk3zo]

Hi matt, let me first say I really enjoy your post on KZbin and have used your project several times, but I noticed on the one showing the squirrel feeder swing you made a little verbal boo boo that I didn't realize until after I cut all the parts from writing down the parts list of what you were saying... Oops...lol When you gave the length for the bench slats you said it was 10 in and when you mounted them on your seat frame there should be an inch overhang on each end Well Matt that's a little tough to do when the front of your seat frame is 10 So after cutting out the parts list and I began assembly I realized something was up Somebody, without naming names, should have said 12 for the seat slats... I wonder who that was...lol No worries it all worked out great I was just wondering if you've ever noticed that in the video Keep doing what you do brother cuz you do it Thanks for sharing your knowledge and ideas God Bless

[@valhallamaker8356]

I make the swing, but I leave the middle of the seat open and put screen wire underneath and it's a bird feeder swing
