Simon that is probably one of the best and most stratifying instructables I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing! Damn I'm feeling envious of your granddad and all his super tools! You must be absolutely stoked with this project?! I'm blown away with the quality and standard of this project! Did you get some help? As you say this was your first woodworking project Im finding it slightly hard to believe you did this entirely on your own. Saying that though I guess 2 years is enough time to make many mistakes and botched jobs? How many ended up on the woodpile before it was properly perfected? Well done, superb effort! You must be proud? Onwards and upwards!

Yes when do we get to hear this beauty of an axe sing? YouTube video please?

Hi Dave, By far the most brilliantly designed and executed Automatic Chicken door an dcoop I have ever seen.I only hope I will be able to build something like this over the next few years. You've defnitely inspired me though without a doubt! Love the auto chicken feeders using pvc pipe, What a great idea!

I have about 3 Raspberry Pis now the very first one, the second one and now the Raspberry Pi 3 B+. Could I use the first edition as my main microcontroller instead of an arduino as it is just lying around gathering dust? I believe one can buy addons and plug these into the GPIO pins for eg. I have an LCD screen for one of my Pis and was wondering if there was a microcontroller extension I could use in conjunction with the pi instead of buying an entire new single board? maybe dumb questions but you gotta ask?

Hi Dave, Again amazing instructable but what I was concerned about was what about those hens who like to stay out just that little bit longer than most and does the door have a sensor for a hens body? i.o.w. what if a hen is walking through the door at the exact same time the door is closing? Will the door stop going down to let the hen get in and then close once the hen has gone inside?
