Just for a quick reference, if you want to purchase full 8 foot studs at a little higher price, by all means do so. That is, a stud that is 92-1/2' in length.

Here I refer to an economy stud that is just short of 8 feet. Go to your local lumber yard and purchase eight (8) 2' x 4' 'economy studs' for less than $1.50 each. The first consideration is a bill of materials and tools that you will need to begin this simple project: I will begin by saying that no, this isn't the 'New Yankee Workshop' or 'This Old House' and I'm not Norm Abrams, but if I can do this, so can you.

The way I have designed this feeder and drafted the plans should have you easily tackling and completing the job in no time at all.
