making a pigeon magnet


Recommended Posts

Cant do pictures but get a wiper motor from a breakers,Weld two pieces of 1/4 box at right angles,weld piece of flat bar across corner,bore and thread the bar so it will screw onto the wiper motor.Get two pieces of 6mm round bar and weld two pieces of square bar to the end so that they will sit inside the box section,add some way of placing a pigeon on each bar.Make a frame to hold your motor and away you go.

Failing this the shooters warehouse sell a good one.

To make your own is cheaper but unless you have access to a welder and an angle grinder it would probably be better to buy one.

My mate made one for free from scrounged parts & welded at work, cost a few quid for paint & other bits plus a battery & extra wire, didn't even get connetors for the battery, bit annoying haveing loose wrap around wire on the battery comeing loose, his free magnet wasn't free nor did it work very well.

it's now just thrown up the corner outside in his garden going rusty.

Mine cost quite a bit of money with good connectors, battery (use a Deben lamping outfit charger) works well & is not going rusty sat outside.

Do your costing first.
