Retro Television Tube Seed Screen

Construct the main television cabinet frame using reclaimed walnut or maple, ensuring the corners are joined with miter cuts for a clean aesthetic. Cut an opening in the front panel to house the transparent acrylic viewing screen, which acts as the 'glass' of the screen.

Fashion a pair of rounded, tapered dowels to serve as the television's rabbit-ear antennas, which can be capped with decorative brass or wooden spheres. These antennas provide a perch for smaller songbirds to land before they approach the main feeding trough.

Design the internal seed hopper to be gravity-fed, utilizing a sloped bottom panel that directs sunflower seeds toward a narrow slit at the bottom front. This creates a continuous flow of food onto the outer 'channel change' ledge without spilling excess waste.

Mount two oversized, circular wooden knobs on the side of the unit that turn to adjust the seed flow mechanism, adding functional interactivity. Finally, apply a high-quality outdoor-grade spar urethane finish to protect the wood from weathering while maintaining a warm, polished glow.
