Drill Entrance and Hanging Holes

that rough off so your paint sets in nice be sure you pay attention to the bottom here okay all those problem areas that you want some paint in so that preserves your gourd and your gourd lasts a really really long time okay next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna instill the hole inside this gourd now there are all sorts of schools of thought on what size hole to use this is a really cool hole saw from I believe it's from Bosch here is I'll post links again them down below but if I can find this on Amazon I'll post a link to it this is a hole saw that has just this little it's kind of a little flimsy cutter edge on it and it pops off just like that okay so that is a hole saw that will basically fit any one of these different sizes and it comes with all these and all that installs back on the hole saw for storage so it's pretty cool the size we're going to use for our purple martins is a 2 and 1/4 you can see right there 2 and 1/4 and we're gonna install it you see this and has a little hook right there a hook on this side and a hook on that side and that goes right into our little mount right here squeeze it into place hopefully this works out good on camera all right cool so we're good that little blade centers are bit centers into your gourd and we want to hold our gourd up and we want to look this one's pretty uniform size but we want to put our hole on the side that bulges out just a little bit that's what I like to do and I don't want it up like this because I don't want rain in it and I don't want it down like this because I want the birds to be able to access it so I want it just slightly tilted right there so I'll put it right on here you got to be gentle with this guys really gentle cuz this thing is fragile see how woody that is look at that a beautiful hole it cut a perfect hole and then you take your little puck and you chuck it in your bucket okay now we've got our hole all cut out right here inside is this seeds all kinds of goodies if you did your job before you poke the hole in it you can just dump your seed jobs so we'll take our bucket up here and look for out all of our seed okay sometimes you're gonna get one that's a little bit more stubborn like there's some of that paper like material of us telling you about right up in there and that has seeds in it too so I'll reach my finger in there and I'll get that paper ish material out okay now if you had a hard time doing that you can get a stick like this or this isn't really a stick this…
