Welcome to my channel.I like to build things and work with metal and wood. Maybe sometimes it is cheaper to buy, what you make, based on the time and materials used, but buying that thing, will never get the satisfaction and experience of making it. Everyone can buy it, but not everyone can make it.
@@MeganRen-d8m Doesn't hold up too well. Therefore, I put hot glue on each circle that I wrap so that it sticks together with itself instead of plastic. And if the cat breaks the rope, then everything does not unravel.
Probably the last video from me, because shooting and editing videos takes a lot of time and currently there are other priorities in life. But that's what I like to do, so maybe I'll come back when b when i have time for it
@@craftzars sad, linuxcnc have most popular used cnc machine software, hobby and pro level used only linuxcnc most. arduino/GRBL have small hobby users group only.
You have great video skills. I want to make a taller one so I guess I will make a larger bifurcated base. I wish I knew how you made your glue gun sound like that!
Put it in corner like i did 😂 because its not stable on its own. First need bigger base, but if you made bigger base next weak point is base to pipe connection, it will not last with just a pair wood screws. You need cut round plywood plates what fits inside pipe and screw trough them to base depends how thick is your plywood you probably need many layers and then you can screw also from side trought pipe. So you have solid connection. But if that dont help you can try put long threaded rod in center or multiple and secure with nuts at base and pour cement inside pipe. If that dont help you can not 1post style tree but 2-3 post style so tree have more legs and its connects together but there will be some problems with fitting it together because i think there is no ready fitting to connect 3pipes together so you need precise cutting and gluing. And of that dont work than lastly you can just can take bracket and screw top plate to wall and its not going anywhere (only if you can drill in wall) i cant think anything else what you can do if nothing from this doesnt work
@@craftzars yup , we did put it in the corner now haha, we will just fix the moving pipe, we have to put some more screws so it doesnt move the pipe and the platforms, also thanks for helping, now it will be perfect for our cat,
We had a cat whose mission in life was 1. Empty every other cats bowl, 2. Trash every scratching post. Have gone through four, including the one we hot glued the rope back on.
It looks good but from my experience when wrapping a post with the rope, you need good tension on the rope and a glue below it (I use double-sided tape over the whole post) to keep it in place when the cat goes to scratch it. With just dabs of hot glue I can see it all falling apart. Cats can be strong.
Cant see in video because of edit, but there is glue on every round, so when cat tear one round so it dont collapse fully. Yeah double sided tape sound easy solution, but I don't think that such a rope will hold better than a glue gun
Did you attach it to the wall? It couldn’t stand on its own with a cat jumping on it! You should have used better fabric, it looks ratty! Not well made ! A waste of time !!
