Construct the central vertical spindle using a hardwood dowel and low-friction ball bearings to ensure smooth, silent rotation. The core houses a hollowed-out reservoir for gravity-fed seed distribution.

Attach curved cedar fins around the central hub at calculated angles to act as sails for wind propulsion. These fins are finished with exterior-grade spar varnish to withstand constant exposure to the elements.

Integrate a precision-cut gate mechanism at the base of the spindle that opens wider as the spinning speed increases. This allows the feeder to regulate seed flow based on the strength of the breeze.

Finalize the assembly by mounting a decorative weather-vane topper to stabilize the unit during high gusts. Ensure all hardware is stainless steel to prevent rust and maintain the feeder's fluid movement over time.
