And here it is, in all it's glory, is my new bird and/or squirrel feeding center. I love how it turned out. And the best part, years from now when maybe it gets rusty or falls apart, I'm sure I can find a cheap replacement at a yardsale. Heck, I see an old dirty swing sitting on my neighbor's porch right now so there are tons of them around. Other benefits: it's portable so I can move it if I want to rake under it or move to a new location. When it rains, I won't worry about it falling over, like those stupid shepherd hooks seem to do. You may have noticed my new suet feeder is not in the pic, I plan on putting that one off our deck since it doesn't create a mess, like sunflower shells do. There is still room for more feeders and I will probably rearrange them from time to time.
Here's a reminder of what I started with (my old rusty swing with missing back, cushions etc)

No yardsales yesterday so no yardsale bargains to talk about.

One of those feeders appears to have sprouted a tail! LOL! Gotta love those squirrels...
Awesomeness!
now if its sittin under a tree, you don't think squirrels will try to sky dive onto it do you?
That is awesome.
120 Martha points to you.
What a great idea! I am definitely going to pass on the idea to my bird feeding Mom.

It's definitely squirrel friendly - it would be impossible to make it squirrel proof. Even with no trees around, they can climb up from the bottom.
