Watching you work reminds me of my third grade project in Mrs Murphy's class. All the other kids picked some sort of art or craft that they could do on their desk. I decided I wanted to build a book shelf for all my library books. Mrs Murphy got me the wood, a hand saw, a hammer, glue, and nails. She supported me in designing and building it. She showed me how to saw and glue wood, and how to hammer nails. She had me do the work, patiently holding things for me. It was crooked and uneven, but I thought it was beautiful. all that was left was to apply finish. I didn't want to cover the natural wood with paint. Someone suggested going to the high school shop to see if they had something. I did so, and a nice well meaning young man said he would help me. He said, "hey it's a bit crooked, let me just fix it for you" he then proceeded to dis-assemble, re-cut, sand, and assemble my book shelf, then applied lacquer. In the end, I looked at what was a nice shelf, but it was not mine any more. I didn't know how to express how I liked how I had done it. I like how you make what you want. While it is often fun to learn new skills, I hope you don't worry about how others would do it when you find happiness in your own discovery. Thank you for sharing yourself, and the fun and frustrations of creation, with everyone.

Hey, kinesiology major here. Your dog is super coordinated and balanced so this will be safe for a while but future health complications could make it challenging. Two small changes would drastically increase accessibility for dogs with disabilities and chronic health conditions: skateboard grip tape on top of stairs (paw pads are slippery and dog will be able to see the steps better due to high contrast since they're color blind), stairs are an appropriate height for the dog but if you make another version the bottom stair might be just an inch or so too tall for a dog with hip pain. ALSO, if you ever sell this please for the love of God make a solid chair back with a built in lumbar curve or back cushion or you'll just be selling scoliosis Also more of your dog please he's so fucking cute

[@orome9793]

Lumbar curve isn't for everyone. I have hyperlordosis and my PT told me lumbar is pretty much the opposite of what I need. Once I eliminated it my sciatica with sitting too long seemed to subside. It's hard to find ergonomic chairs that don't have excessive lumbar.

[@elisewilliams1575]

@@orome9793 That's a great point! I haven't had clinical (supposed to start shadowing this year but the pandemic is a thing) experience with someone who has that. Generally speaking the ergonomic debate is still going. Some people argue it allows people to rely on support that further weakens core muscles, others say people already have shit posture and the lumbar support is important for sedentary people. Plus it's really helpful for people with CFS, chronic pain, low muscle tone (like in downs syndrome), and other disabilities. I suppose from a business standpoint it's be smarter to just not take people like you into consideration given how uncommon hyperlordosis is. But as someone with disabilities (including sciatica and herniated disk) I know how that feels to not even be taken into consideration. It's very frustrating. Maybe she could design a way to adjust the lordotic curve so it would be accessible to everyone!!

When a friend of mine bought stairs for her overweight chihuahua to get up and down from her tall bed, the dog didn't want to use it. There was a little bit of carpet in the center of each step. But the large area of slippery wood at the edge of each step clearly made the dog feel unsteady. I cut up a carpet sample and stapled the pieces to completely cover the steps. In addition, each step was removable, as a box top, for storage. I suspect the slippery steps was what Scraps was objecting to. In your case, those drawers complicate it a little. If you cut/grind down the tops of the drawers, you can just run some low-profile outdoor carpet all the way to the back of the drawer. Or, go ahead and stop the carpet at the front of the drawer and that will hold the drawer in place. You'd still need to shorten the drawer, to lift it over the carpet.

Scraps has trained her master very well. ""Come here scraps, come here." Nothing!! "Do you want a treat?" Zooooommmmm! And Scraps takes off for her treat as fast as the cutest little three legged dog can move! Design, engineering, construction and Pavlovian Master Training all in one video!!

I love this! This is the typical life of a small dog owner right here. Totally loved this video and the end product, and more importantly that the pup loved it! I gotta say though, I think black fabric for the cushion would’ve been the best bet, but that can easily be changed.

[@Spoonie86]

For a white dog, I think black would not be idea. The dog hair is too visible.

I love how Simone just casually says "I feel like she would prefer it if I was taxidermied and turned into a bed, but I'm not super keen on that project" 0:19 I also love how she says 'project' like she would be able to partake in the 'project'.

[@Ewong251]

Step one, figure out if transferring consciousness into inspector gadget-esque cyborg maker body to taxidermy the old body is harder than scanning your body and casting a replica silicone "skin suit" that can be filled with different materials to feel more "real" and be used as a literal body pillow for Scraps.

I decided that watching this video would be my reward for finally getting the exam done after weeks of stress about it.

Day 2 of telling Simone that I really like the countdown clock during the ad read! I really wish more content creators would do this, helps me know exactly how more much time I can expect! Great video as always!

[@0LoneTech]

Great feature, I agree, but this ad was an outright friendly recommendation of something interesting, so I watched through it without noticing. :)

[@johnladuke6475]

I'm torn, I like the countdown timers, but I like it even better when the creator sticks with sponsors that relate organically to the channel and make the ad as entertaining as the entertainment. Simone does well, but the champion of good sponsor spots is Lindybeige. Sometimes his ad pitch is a better standalone 90 seconds than any other part of the video.
