REAL MEN LOVE CATS!!!

[@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

14 dog lovers up in here. Fantastic video. They fell in love with it immediately.

[@theequalizer4justice879]

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

[@sadjoysplode]

Your cat's love your great project, it had lots of detail. We learn a lot ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@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.

[@dottiemathews6853]

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

[@goodmorningsundaymorning4533]

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

[@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

[@voltsnbolts8879]

@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

[@robertpuksta4447]

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

[@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!!

[@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!

[@Jyttrz]

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

[@tiaaaliya80]

Omg I love it! You knocked that project out of the park WOW!!!!

[@samarelneser4602]

SO CUTE

[@mcmfsb6835]

It would be nice to add a ramp or ladder . Cats are so curious and love to climb.😊

[@lynx7060]

Love this! Much more better than the ones in pet stores. Wish i could do it myself, i must convince my dad now 😆

[@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!! 😁😁

[@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

[@torils65]

Great job! Your cats are cute!😸

[@charwenzel568]

Wow...I'm impressed. Your work is awesome!!!, and the kitty's are loving it too! Great job!!!

[@johnbarneswood]

Thanks Charlene!

[@oleboy4332]

Nice job! Looks like they love it

[@Myffy]

These videos relax me to sleep🥰

[@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.

[@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.

[@bizzybits1918]

Use your settings to -lay it at half speed. Click on the gear symbol.

[@barbkeen1221]

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. Sneakers are better than nothing. And I love the last part when you're playing with your fur baby so I just had to subscribe! 🙂🐈

That’s some talent. Nice job 👍🏻

[@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.

[@janixbarbosa-llanos4715]

Nice work!

[@tissounette6745]

Super travail⚒️ Super professionnel💪 Amazing

[@angiebolton6059]

It's so funny how you just put the cats on it and walk away. Like, I'm over this shit i need a beer 😂

Love!!

[@stellamoncada2226]

Hermoso y práctico felicitaciones y gracias

[@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!

[@johnbarneswood]

Yes it would have! Hindsight was 20/20 here

[@_Majoras]

that was an insane amount of work but you can tell the cats love their clubhouse 🤣

[@johnbarneswood]

Thank you! And yeah, they’re ALWAYS on it haha

[@_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

[@myjunkmail007]

Excellent build!

Great project Josh ! Would love to try to build one for my Auntie. What size nails/brads did you use to attach the rope and upholstery ?

[@zalmakinavie204]

Wonderful. Thanks

[@naoove_]

Hi, I just discovered your video of the cat tree, which is incredible, I would have liked to know if it would be possible to have the dimensions to try to make it. In the comments you say that you released a video with the dimensions and voice over but I didn't find it Thank you in advance

[@FiveStarPicks500]

This construction is very fine and does not require much effort.

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]

Nice..... now I think I can make one....

[@lorenamarchant3125]

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.
