My father in law, Jack, finished up more glass plate flowers for me. I really ♥ them! He made a feeder from a cake plate and bowl. Jack is pretty handy and came up with a unique way to make these. They were pretty easy to create. You do need a glass bit to drill through the plates. He soldered a metal wood insert (it's threaded) into the end of a 4' piece of 3/8" copper tubing. The end of the tubing is slightly bent. He put a finishing washer then a long screw through the first dish, a small…
