Building a cat tree

[@dak25raikar96]

me watching with my cat my cat look at me me look at her and say ’’why dont you be like his cat ’’?

[@noraleestone2859]

As a senior cat lady, I'm so happy to see how relaxed your cats are around you. And they obviously LOVE their tree. :D May you & your kitties (& your dog) live long & prosper. ;)

[@jacobtucker2063]

Awesome cat tree! Looks much better than most I've seen in the store. I'd need a much heavier base though. My cats like to chase each other around the house and tend to knock over anything in their path!

[@nightstringers]

The ones in the store are garbage and way overpriced

[@traceynorth9877]

Nicely done. A couple suggestions. You need a second opening in the cat cubby. Cats don't like to feel trapped. It's better if they know they can escape a enclosed area. I'd put some more levels on it so the cats don't have to jump so far to move up and down. Easier on the joints. You can add to the tree over time.

[@dottiemathews6853]

poetry in motion!! i freakin love this!! and your babies adore it too!!

[@denisewilson6807]

OMG!!! You did that!!! I love how the perch is so large. So many pre-made cat trees seem to be only meant for kittens...but kitten do grow up to be large cats. You put a lot of effort into this one. And the cats love it.. Thank you for this video. Great Job!! I wonder how much you would charge to create a custom cat tree.....its a thought.

[@johnbarneswood]

Thank you! It really depends on the material. Here I spent roughly $100 in material alone, so I’d probably charge around $150-225 total.

[@budtoo2636]

@@johnbarneswood think I might copy your design. I work in lumber yard n got 2 free sheet plywood today and I already have various lengh 4x4 from work also. I'm just gonna need lil carpet n rope

[@VoltsAnBolts]

@bud too this is to late for you probably but if anyone else sees this comment, you can usually go to a flooring store and ask if they have scrap carpet, back when I was younger working in a flooring warehouse I would constantly be giving away scraps for people building cat towers. Got free carpet for my own doing this recently

Awesome, I luv how easy it is to take apart and put back together♡

[@goodmorningsundaymorning4533]

You make it look so easy. And I've never seen anyone work as fast as you.

[@robertpuksta4447]

Nice job Man. I loved the slow motion removal of the extra carpet material.

[@alfilkemper9240]

Fantastic job, I've never seen more contented cats!

[@Browneye57]

I've never seen ANYONE move that fast before....LIGHTENING!!! LOL Like it...gotta build a couple'a trees and this is a nice one.

[@johnbarneswood]

Haha Thanks man!

[@lemonlime1920]

Sweet, beautiful kitties! I’m so impressed! Great job on the build. I was watching all of the measurements thinking how I would never think of doing it like that…you make it look easy but omg I would be banging my head on the wall. ❤️🙌 👏🏼

[@johnbarneswood]

Thank you Lemon!!

[@Jyttrz]

You doing this for your fur babies, sure says a lot about you. Your awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@SangeethaSangamam]

It is interesting to see how well you used pieces of carpets to line the MDF. You skipped the time-wasting introductions and jargons used in many “DIY” videos and used time-lapse (“fast forward”) appropriately. The last couple of minutes with the cats in the “tree-house” was icing on the cake! Thanks John for the brilliantly created video.

[@Bunefoo401]

Nice job ... VERY nice job ... you paid so much attention to detail. I’ve got 3 cat trees, all retail, and I don’t think a one of them was as well built as yours

[@frozennorthwoods4401]

Really really impressive! Job well done! The best men know their way around tools and are productive like this! Not gonna lie, this made me exhausted just watching. I think I might just purchase one online haha:) I'm not sure as a smaller woman I would have the physical strength to even do this lol. Great video, thanks! God Bless.

[@FuriousImp]

You can do it!

[@johnbarneswood]

Building it to your scale, I’m sure you’d build something fantastic

[@robbwood7974]

As a retired carpet installer I must say, great job!

Thanks Melanie!

[@emilyann8086]

Now those are 2 very fat, happy and comfy kitties who love their Daddy even more now! 😍😁 I love how precise every measurement was. High quality craftsmanship relies more on precise measuring and less about slathering everything with glue to hold things together. Keep up the awesome work dude!! 😁😁

[@johnbarneswood]

Thank you Emily! We do everything for our Chonkers don’t we?

[@emilyann8086]

Absolutely!! Currently kitting out my big shed into a cat palace for my 4 fluffies. Gunna have comfy af beds, loads of toys, things to climb on and into with a tunnel door leading to a catio area so they can get fresh air safely without being catnapped again!! 😁😁

[@jarmstrong2843]

Looks a lot better than what folks can buy at the store. I'll give it a try and build one for my kitties.

[@LessTalkMoreDelicious]

Wow... best one I’ve seen yet. 👏

[@benicio1967]

The speed of this made it a no go for me. No way I’d be able to replicate this. When I saw the thumbnail it was an absolute dream come true for me. I’ve long I hope that I could make something like this but it’s impossible to know how to make one of these.

[@darlenenelson215]

Fantastic job...wish I could find one that nice in the store👍👍👍👍👍

[@kimberlykeating-carter817]

I love it!! A perfectionist and cats approved with no shoes too!! 👏

[@sandywhite1550]

I also like woodworking. It would be easier to carpet the base, shelf and cat house before it’s assembled. Brackets could be used to support the shelf and large bolts would be better to secure the base and cat house to the posts. I like the idea of using 4x4 lumber for the posts. Your cats love it. Now to make a Catio for the balcony and a work bench. It is painful working on the floor. Thanks for the video.

[@heidih3048]

Awesome build and your cats love it, that's the best part and I'm thinking that the doggo is jealous that he doesn't have his/her own! 🐕 I see how you very safety conscious for your fur babies by folding in that knife, so please protect your feet as well.

[@_Majoras]

1:14 i like the idea of cutting close to the ground but does it really make clean up easier? i plan on building a bartop arcade cabinet this seems like it would be better than using a work bench

[@johnbarneswood]

It is an easier clean up when cutting on the ground, but the only real reason I did this was because I was building it in my apartment living room. Probably better to cut standing up instead of bending over for hours

[@_Majoras]

cutting outside seems it can be a good option

[@dottielinville8095]

What a cool and great project. Nicely done sir.

[@theequalizer4justice879]

Looks Fantastic, Great Job! Just wondering why you didn't carpet everything before you put the hideaway box on the top, wouldn't it have been easier to carpet, before assembled? Super Awesome, I'm impressed, so is your kitty too, I'm sure it's so grateful!

Wonderful. Thanks

[@achitophel5852]

One of the few trees my Siamese wouldn't have destroyed within 6 months. Most are so flimsy, they wouldn't last 6 days! Strength and rigidity are essential when making these. The daily hammering they can get from an active cat is immense.

[@johnbarneswood]

Definitely! Four years and this thing is going strong. Could use for some new rope now though

Bonito y muy profesional en su trabajo, hubiera sido genial que indicara medidas y que materiales uso para la construcción, o sea un paso a paso y algo más pausado, puesto que uno mira para aprender y tratar de hacerlo! Y con tanta rapidez uno se pierde.
