Making Cat Or Dog Bunk Beds

Recently I found some pine bed slats and a broken double bed frame, and in this video I'm going to be making some bunk beds for cats or smallish dogs.

I previously designed and made some single versions of these beds which was an earlier video on my channel.

The slats had some straps attached with staples so the first job was to get those off

And I removed all the metal fittings.

The slats measured just shy of 1.4m in length and from that I decided what size to make the beds. I'd make the length 60cm so I could

Making Pet Beds

In this video I make some miniature beds for cats and dogs or other small pets out of some reclaimed pine bed slats.

Making A Cat Scratching Post Using Pallet Wood And Concrete

I made the mistake of buying a cat scratching post that was too small for my cat to use comfortably... So I gave it away (to someone with a kitten) and thought I'd make one for my cat, Dylan.

For materials, I used a pallet that I found in my recent "how to get wood for free" video. I'd use the stringers to make the post, and the slats to make the base. I dismantled and de-nailed the pallet using a crowbar.

Making A Cat House For Two Using Scraps Of Wood

In this video, my brother Alan visits my workshop bringing with him some scraps of sheet materials found in his shed - some pieces of various sizes of MDF, ply and chipboard.

Alan wanted a cat house for his two cats George & Jasper, and he already had an idea for the design he wanted, so we first did a quick drawing in SketchUp to figure out how to make best use of the materials that we had to create that design.

Hexagon Cat House - pallet wood project

I had lots of small offcuts of pallet wood left over from the pallet wood shed build that I wanted to find a use for;

I came up with a design for a cat house / bed that was hexagon shaped. I cut all the pieces to make the walls of the house to length, cutting a 30 degree angle on each end to form the hexagon shape.

Making A Dog House

I made this dog house out of shiplap cladding that was left over from the build of my workshop. I sold this dog house on eBay to someone who lives locally, and I even got to meet the dog who would be using it which was a wonderful experience.
