LOML would find it quite so funny...) Thanks for sharing! Andy

This ought to work real good with cats too.

[Paul Hastings]

You missed the awesome woodworking content on that site.

Actually that table video showed up her or in the WRECK a few days ago. That is a pretty neat piece of work. But as someone noted, you had better watch where you finger, and your kid's fingers are.

Got video? I'd love to see that.

There's a potential commercial product there, I think.

[Robatoy]

That is cruel.

"WoodButcher" opin'd thus:

he made it out of metal . . . and it flings the squirrels from the bird feeder and throws them into the lake.

He's working on a version that will rearm automatically . . . .

[Don Fearn]

"Robatoy" opin'd thus:

It would be in the winter when the lake is frozen!

Likewise.

[Don Fearn]

[e-mail] (Doug Miller) opin'd thus:

I would too. He hasn't come forth with it, though.

Yeah, I agree. I suggested to him that it be controlled via a web link with a camera. He's taken that suggestion under advisement.

Don Fearn wrote in news: [e-mail]:

I think that "tossing" them into a good strong wall would be better, less chance of water pollution. But then someones presious little kitty would wander into the device...

I'm thinking something like an auto-loading air-powered punkin' chunker (or maybe "fuzz buster" would be more appropriate).

[Robatoy]

...and what would be the problem with that?

^^^^ your fingers

Another correction to your correction. Although you probably ought to be careful with the original statement as well. ;-)

Seems to me that a peanut gun (or if you have oak trees an acorn gun) would be a nice option. After all, can't very well complain about giving a squirrel a nut. And if he can't _catch_ it and gets beaned, well, that's his problem.

Wasn't Bullwinkle around?

[Douglas Johnson]

My dad has one of those. He had a twenty year war trying to keep the squirrels out of his feeder. This was the only one that worked. The first time I saw it, a squirrel jumped onto the feeder, the bottom ring started turning, the squirrel held on by three paws, then two, then only one back paw as he was flung around. After about three turns, he was flung off.

SWMBO said she had never seen me laugh so hard.

You are describing the Yankee flipper. The video is fantastic. Click on the play video:

A good friend has the Yankee whipper. It is fascinating and entertaining to watch the squirrels defeat the flippers. Not as much fun as watching them fly, but their ingenuity is phenomenal.
