UPDATE: After a few weeks of testing, I've found that fat squirrels can't get into this feeder, but a skinny squirrel (probably a juvenile) possibly can! One bugger in my yard found a way in, though he had some trouble getting back out when I found him. I wish I had THAT on video! Anyway, I now recommend making the access holes one square smaller (height and width) than I showed in the video. Of course, you can tie on a small section of fencing later to make an access hole smaller if you need to. So far the deer and the raccoons have not bothered the feeder.
Commercial birdfeeders are expensive and mine keep getting destroyed by squirrels, raccoons and even deer. So, I decided to build my own, using an inexpensive tube feeder as a starting point and building a protective cage around it. Total cost for me was about $25. In this video I'll go through the whole process. After I put the new feeder up the chickadees and tufted titmouse jumped right in, but the cardinals were a little reluctant, so I added some perches for them.
