How to Make Your Pigeon Magnet
Put on your welding mask and gloves and get your welding torch. Take the two metal bars that are to be used as arms of the pigeon magnet and affix to the motor. Use a fillet joint, which attaches two items together by beading around the area where they meet. For more information on weld beading see the resource below.
Tie the plastic pigeon decoys to each of the two metal arms and test in a place that they could revolve to its full extension without hitting anything.
Cover the motor and battery with a piece of tarp for weather proofing.
