Yeah,
we took a 5 gal bucket and used a hole saw and cut some holes in the bottom, you can put as many holes in it as you want. We used a 15 or 20 gallon plastic barrel that was damaged and cut off about 3 or 4 inches tall for the bottom piece. Drill some holes for a couple of bolts. Make sure the bolts are about 4 inches long. Put the bolts in the bottom of the bucket and then put 1/2 inch pvc pipe about 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches long over the bolt then put the bottom of the larger barrel or bucket on and fasten it to the bucket. The space between the bottom of the feeder and the bottom of the bucket is what allows it to be gravity fed. I hope I explain it right..lol
I'm brain dead today. When it warms up a bit I'll make another one and take step by step pics.
Thanks,
Michele in WV
