Raised Dog Food Bowls // How-To | I Like To Make Stuff

[@nateauld]

I like that you saved the advertisement for the end and didn't start with it or sprinkle it in. Good project and good advice on pocket holes.

[@charleyandsarah]

Pretty dog and that was a massive hunk of walnut. So pretty. We've got a black walnut tree in our yard that we're working on milling up soon. You're welcome to some pieces, Bob.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Slowvannah Farms Nice! I'll definitely take you up on that offer! Thank you!

[@tatebrown9118]

Excellent video, as usual! I especially liked your comment about the use of pocket holes and how it's not always a bad thing.

[@MsRmaclaren]

I like the sandwiched look as well. My last project was a pair of nightstands where I left the edges exposed. Great project, my shop dog(he wants one too) and I give it two paws up.

[@sdahlstrom144]

That's a great project. Something that you would never go out and purchase, but given the chance to build... awesome stuff, Bob!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Looks nice. I never think to do that with plywood, but when I see you and others doing it and leaving the edges exposed, I end up really liking it. I need to remember that.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Bruce A. Ulrich Hey Bruce, don't forgot to expose the plywood edge sometimes! (I'll leave that there so you can remember next time ;)

[@BruceAUlrich]

I Like To Make Stuff ha ha! Good deal.

[@benjaminkrause885]

I'm Ben and I like to watch you make stuff

[@ASliceofWoodWorkshop]

That turned out nice and it is a simple design.

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

I am so happy you explained the 3 bowls...i thought maybe you had a sci-fi dog with 3 heads.....lol. Nice build.

[@grandolddrummer]

Miter Mike's Woodshop I was thinking the same thing. He'd have to be named Cerberus.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Nice project Bob! I like the angles you used on the legs.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Steve Carmichael Thanks Steve!

[@minopausa]

Outstanding video and great youtuber that declares the name of the sponsor in the first moments. Bravo.

[@TravisDoesFirewood]

I've been watching your channel for a while. A friend of mine asked me to build her a similar pieces for her dog. Glad I searched on KZbin and found that you had made one. I plan on using shellac to protect the finished product.

[@RainbowDrones]

Nice one Bob! I am going to make a scaled down version for our three little cats

[@cesarebachelli]

Youve got the coolest tools and a workshop

[@WoodworkingManiak]

I Like To Make Stuff Bob, I like your mix of Walnut and plywood. I too like to sometimes see plywood used as a feature instead of hidden like it was never there.

[@MREiermann1000]

i really like how you included your sponsor, putting him at the end of your video and i can decide whether I'm interested or not. Good job!

[@all1saidwas]

Old skool hack for you. When glueing up sprinkle some table salt over one face. It helps to prevent the work pieces from sliding. An age old trick made more famous by izzy swan. Nice project though, it looks great.

[@peterstewart9376]

Nice looking piece Bob! I also liked the music

[@AndreaArzensek]

Very nice work Bob!

[@artwayne757]

Great video! Love the shirt! And finally, that walnut was really awesome looking!

[@Keithersk]

Christmas gift for my dogs this year. Woo!

[@AwesomeWoodThings]

Great project. I'm also a big fan of exposed plywood edges.

[@HelloKitty-sd9vs]

It makes me happy that you care about your dogs cuz I know some people don't:( I do! :)

[@sjbl1962]

Cool project Bob.

[@dozerjohn]

Fun fact - I never saw a pocket hole in my life until I went on youtube. I guess we just don't use them in Europe as much as you do in US.

[@Rahuldhebri]

Yeah mee too

[@JDobsable]

John Grammaticus Wait a minute.... are you saying that us Americans compromise and quality and looks all to build a cheaper more poorly made product? Listen here mate! You've got us all wrong! Us Americans REALLY like to compromise on quality and looks and build a dirt cheap, really poor product. It's the American way!

[@neoexplains]

And I have never seen Bob use a dowel (wood dübel).

[@XCyclonusX]

Fuck off.....Ikea much???

[@dogonmyneck]

Great job! Enjoying all of your projects!

[@gapolayac]

Hey... I found this in your channel. Just what I need for my best friend. I'm from Spain and thanks for your work.!! That's inspired to me to make stuffs....

[@NickFerry]

Turned out really nice Bob

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Nick Ferry Thanks Nick!

[@waylab867]

this video encouraged me go to make another one!! it’s cool stuff!

[@JustMakeIt]

Looks great! I'm a big fan of the walnut and ply look as well. Just make sure you really clean that well and remove the wax before you add poly.

[@mhaz49]

I had a similar arrangement for two Mastiffs I used to have. They needed the raised bowls for their size and it helped contain their mess (somewhat).

[@eliaslarsen2817]

And i love yor videos i watch them every day

[@TYPE1TEEZ]

Great video! Will definitely check out the dog food. Thanks again!

[@EquinoxTheGryph]

...or you secretly own a Cerberus and each head has it's own food bowl just kidding

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+STcraft Maybe I do.... or maybe I do. ;)

[@EquinoxTheGryph]

Lol

[@emiriultimecia6684]

Dungeon Link? XD

[@armin3689]

just not kidding

[@callummaloyd6432]

The Black Talon I

[@JkCanvas]

I have been wanting to make my pup a raised food bowl but she still has some growing todo. This is definately on the list of projects.

[@AlFurtado]

Great project and very informative. Albert

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Al Furtado Thanks Albert!

[@emintivo]

Great job mate.

[@zerimaryar]

Love the project - very cool!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Nice project, thanks for sharing!

[@WigWagWorkshop]

I helped my brother awhile ago, build something similar. He houses Greyhounds after they are no longer racing, so they can be adopted. to a good home.

[@tobymiller3585]

Nice build! (And super fun editing as always!)

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks Toby!

[@macsutuber]

okay, last shirt comment, it just stands to reason that your nerd shirts in these videos are great!

[@imperialguard13]

I was wondering when the famed pocket whole on walnut video would turn up. I agree, there is a time and a place for pocket wholes.

[@luiskwong]

Hello. Thank you for posting this video.

[@Cpedro1685]

Great job!

[@GlassImpressions]

Great BOB!

[@tbucsclw1]

This is a great project, you make it look so easy. :)

[@marceaton3128]

I was wondering why three holes. As for the parts slipping you need to watch Izzy's tips. He puts a light coat of salt on the glue to keep it from moving around. Works great. Thanks for sharing.

[@Rodrigonoks]

Great job! you're the guy!

[@RichardVelasco09]

Do you have a classic dog house video? Would be A great DIY!

[@StanleyGraczyk]

Sallys likes our dog bowl set up just the ways it is. Thank you though .

[@MarcSchaefermeyer]

Double layered ply looks great. Nice job!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Marc Schaefermeyer Thanks Marc!

[@Geeksmithing]

Oh no. You figured out that cute animals=views. What have you DONE?! ;)

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Geeksmithing Next up.. CATS!

[@Geeksmithing]

I Like To Make Stuff God help us.

[@ot0m0t0]

I Like To Make Stuff Jeah I kinda expected to see dogies chow done something from the bowl. It gets more views and..kinda shows the purpose of the project in action.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

ot0m0t0 Unfortunately they'd already eaten and I had a short time to film in the living room before the kids made the noise level out of control :)

[@lillyfaye3328]

I need one for the cats and the dogs!

[@notaflightmedic]

Cool project, but I really just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your channel. You do great quality work without a million dollar shop, you make the sponsor connections flow perfectly and the quality of the video and edit it top notch. Thanks for what you do!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Wow, thank you Chuck! I really appreciate that!

[@TheHookert1]

I HAVE THAT SHIRT!!!!! OH and Awesome project to.

[@EliteSniperFMJ]

add a little table salt tho those glue spots before putting wood together, does'nt effect strength but the "grit" helps hold pieces still till the glue sets

[@WilliamLutesMaker]

Yup, gotta share this Bad Boy ! Nicely done Bob :-)

[@Grumpy718]

Love it .. what would I use so the wood be water proof ?

[@UIDIY]

a few grains of salt help keep the wood from sliding around and won't effect the glue up. nice quick tip.

[@Bluessoulful]

Nice working shed dude! I wish I had a half of that nice and smart machines to build my little projects :)

[@adrianruth9054]

Great video! Would love to see more uploads!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Adrian Ruth Thanks! I would love to have the ability to do more, but I'm putting them out as quickly as I can finish them :)

[@HelloKitty-sd9vs]

I love your dog! It's so cute! :)

[@matthewdinaisthedude]

You could try a pocket silk or a silk handkerchief to apply the finish since it worn fall apart when it gets wet.

[@1991Beboo]

There is a spray thats called "NeverWet" and you could use it for the topcoat so that way the water runs off and it doesn't get wet. You can find it at Home Depot. 👍🏽

[@ryankraning4733]

Oh my gosh this guy is amazing😱😱 I wish I was this smart😂

[@pyrokiller4682]

To help with glue making your work slide sprinkle some sugar on the glue gives the work more grip

[@RobCartwright]

I just wanted to give you and everyone else here a word of caution. I have a golden retriever. The dining room in my house is raised up a step and I used to put my dog's food and water on that step. A little over a year ago, my dog's stomach flipped. This situation brings with it a very low recovery rate; but due to an excellent surgeon, my dog made a full recovery. The vet now calls her the miracle dog. The vet said this kind of thing happens for three reasons (all of which I was unfortunately doing): walking your dog immediately after feeding them, giving them ice cold water, and feeding them on a raised platform.

[@Inevitable037]

I thought it was better to feed them on a raised surface. What is the benefit of a raised surface then?

[@WillThat]

I plan on building one of these, but integrating an arduino with rfid. My younger dog will eat the older dogs food if you're not watching her and the older one is too timid to stop her. And the older dog doesn't like to eat all at once, she'll nibble on her food throughout the day. Makes it hard to police the younger one.

[@JeremyThompson21]

Good idea...Looks very useful. Take a look at Orijen dog food if you really want a healthy food. Hills is the same crap as everyone else. 5 of first 6 ingredients are full of carbs = not good for your pooch. Not trying to be negative in any way, but we found out our Iams dog food contributed to our 6 year old dane getting bone cancer. Just something to think about. Keep up the great vids.

[@Wmoore1986]

Awesome vid! Any chance of you ever building a dog house? Keep up the great content!

[@Sawdustgirl]

Nice!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Sandra Powell aka {Sawdust Girl} Thanks Sandra!

[@emintivo]

Hi BobJust re watched this, are you still using it? It's looks large, I thinking of making 1 for our dogs outside water bowl. These look great by the way!👍🏼

[@cookiesushi3837]

Is it really safe to put a water bowl next to electrical sockets?

[@pikachuiswatchingyou]

Btw you can't use poly on something already oiled or waxed. You have to remove the wax or oil before, because otherwise the poly won't stick to the wood.

[@MandeepSingh-kl5rq]

Hey Bob, love the work you produce. Any chance you'll be doing any cat related woodworking projects ?

[@joneichler]

Would love to see what you would come up with for an automated dog food dispenser. Like with a Rpi or arduino!

[@akoprod]

cool video like always

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Catel Lewis Thanks!!

[@danniedarko4835]

great idea for when I have a bigger dog again...

[@eliaslarsen2817]

Can you make a phone case??? It have been super cool👍🏼

[@CanadianChronos]

I have and was wearing the same Millennium Falcon shirt when i was watching this video.

[@tim5067]

surprises me that Matthias Wandel didn't jet complain about the pocket hole usage he's always nagging bout them hahah

[@Snipercastt]

Parabéns,muito bonito.Saudações Brasil.

[@damien12221]

Oh man, I wish i had the tools to make these kind of things! I love making stuff out of wood or other materials, But i always end up with wobbly things or things that just break :P

[@cejkwo100]

I made a few of these for my dogs,I would of edge band the perimeter in walnut for a nice contrast. Came out nice though.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

cejkwo Mass Oh that would look good! Great idea!

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

looks nice! how well does it perform regarding lateral stiffness? I guess its good enough for dog food! Another walnut piece along its front would be visually pleasant as well :)

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Cactus! workshop Yeah, it's plenty strong enough for what it is, but you're right, a stringer to connect the cross braces of the legs would look good and make it much stronger!

[@alexpinna8289]

Molto bello e funzionale bravo

[@MrEdsster]

Who hoo I got the 1000 th like.. Good job I have two dogs as well but I'll have to make the legs shorter as they're min pins.. Thanks

[@aalyo12d52]

U are really annoyingly Awesome!!!!!!

[@parkerjohn2459]

Please make videos about the techiques and tools you use, like how-to videos . Thanks for your great channel !

[@DoubleD629]

where do you buy your walnut? any tips one how to get nice hardwood? that was probably a $100 piece of walnut and you used it on your dog bowl? maybe im looking in the wrong places but in my area that walnut is mucho dinero!

[@GayaaxGame]

Hi, i'm frensh and i like your videos :D

[@ansiaaa]

I have a big dog and I was actually doing some research on the net about raised dog food bowls because I heard it was better for their digestion. I actually found that the best thing is to leave the bowls at ground level because raising them could actually make them eater faster and cause problems to the stomach and digestive system to those dogs that are prone to it. I'm still not sure about it though cos some websites say the opposite... does anyone know if either of those can cause problems to large dogs, or being a benefit, or if neither change anything?

[@enki2958]

The raised food bowls will also improve the digestion of the dog and help him stay healthy.

[@marytousley4979]

hey Bob, what kind of dogs do you have? I'm just wondering what a good height would be for my dog

[@mcdonaldslover35]

Hi what are ALL the tools that you use? Thanks!

[@banning996]

Can u make a candy machine plssssss I really would like it

[@beenwandering]

My dog eats and drinks very enthusiastically, I have to put something behind his raised bowls because the baseboard makes it stick out and when he uses it his force causes it to shake and bang around. How might I modify this custom raised bowl holder to account for baseboards? (I rent, can't change them).

[@lillyfaye3328]

Have you done a wooden coffee cup yet????

[@summerswoodworking]

Nice dog bowls stand. Would have liked to seen what that sponsors food looked like instead of an explanation. But overall a nice build video.

[@sahlind]

So what kind of rags did you end up using? Microfiber?

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Marfelt Actually paper towels, which were better but still not ideal. I still need to do some research on the best cloth for applying finish. Anyone have any suggestions?

[@sahlind]

I Like To Make Stuff I remember Matthew Cremona mentioning in the comments that he uses lint free cotton rags from the hardware store.

[@Iliketomakestuff]
