didnt know where to put it.
while travelling down south, came across a store that had a few lawn ornaments and there were a couple of birds(egrots I believe), made out of 4 inch pvc pipe
I looked up online what I could, found a video, although no measurements, but gave it a try today.
built a small holder, laid the pipe into it, after making a template rubber banded the template to the pipe, used a sharpie to trace, then cut with jig saw.
used a heat gun to soften plastic enough to bend, this was my first attempt, this is finished product.
pipe was in bad shape to begin with, so no white birds for me, added some color. cut another one out of other side of pipe, will try again tomorrow.I need to pick up some googly eyes, whatever you call those little eyes for arts and crafts. Too tired today
also, bases will be the inexpensive pavers from home depot, I saw for 1.29, I have alot of tapcon screws, Ill paint the heads black.
