How to DIY heavy Duty Cat Tree - Tower - Climber for a Maine Coon cat 

I love to see all these videos of manly men spending so much time and paying attention to so much detail for their cats 😂😂😂 it's so sweet

This is one quality cat tree to be honest. $130 to buy from commercial establishments will not last long. This one is of really good quality.

I never thought that I would sit through a 32 minute video on building a Cat Tree, but I couldn't look away. The whole process was amazing to watch. I'm definitely going to watch some more of your stuff!

I'm rebuilding a neighbor's cat tree, and after seeing this I'm thinking of simply starting over and following your process. Thank you.

This dude really loves his cat. :)

althought i realized in the first 30 seconds i dont have the tools to even start to make one like this, i watched it to the end because it was so fun. Cool editing and nice work!

Dude... Freaking major KUDOS to you for making such an outstanding tower! Your cat is one lucky kitty to have a friend that truly knows what a cat likes, needs and appreciates. Beautiful design and I can see that a lot of care went into the project. Looks better than the ones you see on sale for $200-$300.

Amazing! I wish I could've seen a cat enjoying it at the end!

After watching this, I know I will be buying my next cat tree. Amazing amount of work going on here.

he reminds me of my sims who wants to get his inventing skill to level 10

After seeing how much work goes into making these cat trees, I now do not feel too cheap to just go buy one. Whew what a job!

I'm building a cat tree for a Christmas gift and a lot of the so-called "instructional" videos skimp out on all the details, fantastic video here!

I was watching away like oh cool & then you slowed it down to normal speed for a moment & I realized just HOW MUCH WORK you put into this. If you want to make a cat owner happy, make their cat happy. Your MIL will love you even more than she already does when she sees this. The cat is going to go bananas, I can't wait to check out that video. GREAT JOB!!!!!

Why do i find this video so relaxing? ._.

He truly loves cats to take the time and energy to build this for them.

Great cat tree. And for the price, probably better built that most on the market

thanks for your post. This is serious, wonderful, craftmanship that at least some viewing might aspire to. Shows us what we're not going to find in store-bought offerings

I forgot how labor intensive doing all that carpet work is. I used to custom out vans in the 70's and early 80's. Nice job! Cuddles will be happy!

Much better than many other cat trees I've seen, looks more sturdy and substantial. It'll last longer and for less money.. plus it has all the 3 things cats love - height.. which is graduating.. not just 2 levels so even better, small enclosures and a hammock.

Damn, this guy is SERIOUS about building this cat tree. He does not fuck around! Very well made. Great attention to detail. Dude definitely has some mad skills!!!!

Wow... I wish I had a guy who could make something like this. So much better then the cheap-ass store bought ones. You did a great job!

outstanding workmanship ! this is nothing short of cat heaven. well done, truly !

Great work! I can't wait to get started on one!!! Thanks for saving me all the trial-and-error tactics, too!

WONDERFUL video! Love how you showed the steps, but sped up. Great techniques that I will be using for my cat tree!

Thanks for the inspiration. While I have a different idea, it's great to see how you did this and I appreciate the video. I've wanted to build cat things for years, but have so little time that it seemed like retirement gig. Now you've inspired me to simply start and showed the way.

Wow, this is brilliant!!!! Love all the attention to detail. Thanks for sharing!!!

Very cool and that cat tree is going to last decades!

Just watched every minute if this video. Great job. It gave me a lot of ideas for the tree I'm going to build. Thank you!

You carpeted that box like a straight up boss! And I like how you sped it up to where it shows what you're doing yet still very enjoyable to watch! Kudos sir 👍 💯 💪

Awesome Dude ! Funny too because the loudest noise in your shop ( during Fast Forward ) wasn't the saws / drills / or compressor / - but I think it was your wife !! Same over here man !! And good too because we know we'd be lost without them ! good work !! For those that commented they'd just buy one, let's see what those look like in a year or two - bet yours wins !

Meticulous work. Your craft and dedication are awe-inspiring.

So satisfying watching you make this. Also appreciate the neatly stored shelves!

Amazing job. Sturdier than what you buy in store

Fun, entertaining and educational to watch. Buying cat tree from the shops is nice and easy but takes the fun out of it and building your own you can design exactly how it will fit into your house.

Excellent work!!!!! That cat tree will outlive generations.... of cats

Thank you for giving me some ideas that I didn't know how to do correctly. Very appreciated! And this is a really good cat tree, hurrah!

his smile towards the end ❤😍 . you did a good job.

I went in awe when I saw that you actually MADE that!

Holy craftsmanship, lucky cat, nice work!

Boy do i know how hard it is to find big enough cat toys, trees or loungers for the big guys!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Really nicely done! I appreciate the attention to detail, that tree is going to last!!

Congratulations, wonderful cat tree

Wow, this is super well-made. I cannot believe this is a homemade cat tree.

Please make more projects! It was so fun to watch the process of this video and I learned a few things from this.

PVC was a great idea. That saves SO much weight. Nice job with the carpet too

That is one adorably loved & spoiled kitty. 😺😻😸 And you are a wonderful son-in-law.

My cat enjoyed watching you build this in fast fwd so much.

Incredible! Thanks for showing us how you made it! 😲

Thankyou for the video. Can't wait to start on this project with my hubby!

There's something so satisfying about this video being sped up without music added on top

I also make my own cat trees being that I have Maine Coon cats and they just knock over the cheaper lighter weight ones when they leap onto them, not to mention they destroy them pretty quick, and due to that I went a slightly different route on my last one, natural wood shelves and box, the bottom box actually being a hinged top litter box holder with a cat door entry on the side to keep the dogs from getting into the litter box. And pressure treated four by fours wrapped with sisal rope instead of carpet so that you can just pull the rope off and re-wrap it when they shred it.

He is so gorgeous and his voice is so deep and manly. I probably just watched the video for the eye candy😍.

You couldn’t buy one so nice!! Very helpful!! Thanks!!

Your diy skills are amazing 👏 everything looks awesome.

Thanks for this. Keep making videos. I'm an auto mechanic so I'm familiar with tools, but not with wood or things around the house as much. Thinking about buying some nice garage tools and tacking a lot of projects like this. It's really helpful just watching you work, I'm learning a lot.

Great job on that awesome cat tree. I wish I had it right now.

wow, that cat tree is amazing

Thank you so much I bought all the material I needed and more.... to build a tree house but just didn't know where to start. I really appreciate you. Thanks

Great video. It inspired me to build my own. Didn't have any tools other than a screwdriver, but now I'm $500+ invested and there no turning back. I guess this is the start of a new craft. also, my dad hoarded a bunch of wood that's been sitting in the garage. heard my mom complaining about it once. Now he's rootin for me to prove my mom wrong lol.

That was so entertaining to watch

I want to have the room, tools and time to do this. This is amazing work.

Very cool! Thanks for the great instructions on how to build one of these!

I clicked this on, but it looks like I liked it previously ... I don’t remember the video ... wow, you went above and beyond on this cat tree. That thing is sure to last forever. When ours start to get ratty carpet, we toss them because the ones we get retail are shoddy compared to yours. I can totally see recarpeting as an option in your case. VERY NICELY DONE ❤️❤️

I am really learning a lot about construction. Thank you!

this is awesome, and also really kinda funny to watch at such high speed

I like the music you used as well as watching your progress on the project and attention to detail.

Love the video. Every time I watch one of these diy videos I end having to buy new tools to try them myself. One day I’ll have every tool out there I need. 😀

Love this, only missing one thing, your cat enjoying the cat tree!

i can watch this all day

This was really cool to watch and you have amazing attention to detail.

Wish I could have sufficent tools and a working room like yours to make everything I need. The cat house and tree are so good

Excellent workmanship; solid build. Looks like it was well planned.

This is an epic cat tree. LOVE IT 😍 Now to persuade my bf to make similar for my two cats. Their current one is so flimsy it’s broken. People kept sitting on it and one cat is nearly 7kg!

Amazing craftsmanship!

Nice job, both with the tree itself and the documentation of the process!

Awesome cat tree I made one for my cats out of fence posts and 3/4" plywood and it's super heavy but my cats love it so it was worth it yours is awesome and it looks very sturdy and probably not super heavy but Def durable great build thanks for sharing

awesome seeing the entire process

This is so cool! If I didn't live in an apartment and had the power tools I'd make it for my rescue.

Well done sir a true craftsmen.

Such talent and craftsmanship. Great video - enjoyed every second of it. :)

Amazing job and shot. It's very inspiring applications that you have used.

Awesome cat tree! I love the design, it looks much more attractive than most cat trees. I was thinking about making one but how much time it would take would just makes me change my mind, but props to you!

Thanks, you've got some good tips on cantilevering them in here, too. I admit I'm lazy and would use dowels/closet rod cut to length for the interior of the PVC/joint support. I think I can do this almost free, I have a lot of PVC (and wood and carpet scraps....and you're right, go to a carpet store, some will even give the bits away rather than have to fill the dumpster with the scraps from an install job) kicking around, so it's a great use for it. Probably have enough fasteners and glue, too! Weekend project, thanks:) Hope kitty is enjoying it...

Awesome diy!

....Hall of the Mountain King....you are awesome. Love the time lapse on the clock too! This was enjoyable to watch as well as the lessons taught. Obviously you know what you're doing. I'm a craftsman myself but for some reason haven't built a damn cat tree yet! Things will change this weekend. Thanks for the vid - you implemented fastening techniques I thought of but never practiced!!!! like the triangular shelf into the 4" ....genius!

If U are married, I sure hope you are appreciated, I can't get my husband to do anything, tv and booze, that's it! Thank God for men like you! I have bought many cat trees over the years, but they don't last, made out of pressboard, cardboard and break easily :( Do you sell yours? Carpet does way better than the cheap cloth they use now! Your workmanship is esquisite. How long did it take to make? Taking in account all the planning as well....One Special Cat♡

Your cat s for sure the luckiest in the world! Nice work, thank you for sharing, you are very skilled and you must love your pet ♥

Oh my god, I like this video so much, really I enjoyed it a lot Thank you for sharing us this beautiful project.

that's a huge cat tree and it's really amazing

There you have it.....measure twice, cut once. Oh my! That was amazing. I hope that Maine Coon loves it like I do. I also hope you got some sleep during this.

My favorite DYI cat tree

Beautiful work!

Wonderful job . I would love that for my cat.

Very quick worker. aint he?..lol

Great build

Dude is rocking the tools and skills for real, but I think he could have just built the cat a real house in less time!

thank you so much. thoroughly enjoyed watching it

Wow! You're truly amazing.

Great craftsmanship and ingenuity. PVC reduces the weight, a major plus. Agree w/other guy: less talk, more action suits me fine. (Elvis fans back me up.) Thanks for the how-to, well done.

Awesome cat trees this is a great way to get kitty to use it's own Furniture ,Lots of times people get cats but don't offer them a single piece of cat Furniture & this is when the cats seek out things of their own not their fault but the owners for not providing enough cat Furniture or cat Furniture at all . All cats have to scratch .
