I agree. Thanks for the feedback!
one thing I might suggest is make the lid look like the top of stump that somebody had cut off with a chainsaw instead of a lid that looks like it belongs on a trash can it would be more appealing to somebody wanting to put it in their back yard
I actually considered that in the beginning, but decided to go with a handle to help with installing and removing it. Now that you mention it, I think it's worth a second look. Thanks...
OK - let's take a vote. Lid "with handle" or "without"???
Personally I don't mind the handle on top, but if those side handles are sufficient to remove the lid it(top handle) is really only a backup....
The "side handles" are actually the locking tabs that engage the channels on the feeder body to lock the lid on. They can definitely serve a dual purpose though.
Initially it was designed with a snap-fit lid, so the lid handle was necessary to overcome the snap-on bulges and pull the lid off of the body. Now that it's a twist-on lid, the handle is not necessary.
808racer, got any proto types you'd let me try out?
I wish! No protos yet.
