In this video I design and build a mid century modern style cat sofa, although it could be used by small dogs or perhaps other pets (ferrets maybe?). These make for a great cat bed or dog bed for your furry friends!

I think Dylan's got a nicer set of furniture than I do! Wouldn't mind a human sized one of these for sure.

@p4ult1 4 года назад

Yes, more Dylan content. Almost at 100k fella 👍🏻

@rickfletcher8389 4 года назад

You are assuming that Dylan is going to use the bed! Knowing cats, he will look at it and decide that your bed is much more comfortable...

Hands up everyone who rewound the video trying to figure out when/how Keith cut his finger!? :-) Seems like the bandage appeared around the 5:00 minute mark... I trust that was not from persuading your cat to lay on the bed! :-)

@RagnBoneBrown 4 года назад

I actually did it on a tape dispenser... It's always the least threatening tools that get me!

@theopiner402 4 года назад

I remember when your patron supporter credits was a lot shorter! You have come a long way since your shed build, Keith, which is when I started watching your videos. You are one of the few on RU-vid that still has traditional build videos.

@RagnBoneBrown 4 года назад

thank you! What's interesting is that build views don't seem to perform so well, so I can understand why a lot of makers move away from them!

@pteddie6965 4 года назад

Is that masking tape from "The Official Woodworkers Emergency Medicine Kit" on your finger?. Just curious, no criticism. I've used the same finger patch myself. It didn't please my mom, the nurse.... but it got the job done. Cool cat sofa, btw. I plan to make. That will make seven of your projects that I've done. Thanks.

@sithlordst32 4 года назад

For someone who has only a table saw, could use it to make splines to reinforce the joints. As for me, I have 4 cats, 6 chihuahuas 1 large dog and 1 Chinese silky chicken soooo.... I guess I would need to make 12? Brilliant idea and maybe a good Xmas gift for a pet lover. Cheers!

@jewdd1989 4 года назад

I love the angles and design however I’d prefer adding inset panels of the cushions rather than cover the entire ply frame. Just because the frame itself is clean lined and beautiful! Anyways great job and curious what you’d come up with using inset cushioned panels that are invaded by the ply or solid wood bed

@RagnBoneBrown 4 года назад

that's a nice idea... I wish I'd have thought of that 👍

@jewdd1989 4 года назад

...well I thought of it but not sure I’d build it as clean lined and perfectly as you did lol! Seriously I reread this and smacked myself because it’s beautiful as it is!!! Pls don’t change it, I shared with my family and friends that are huge cat lovers and not one of them thought it needed a single change, it’s beautiful with the hints of wooden feet at the bottom (you’re well known for really cool feet) and I think what I love the most about your work, besides it’s clean lines, modern yet retro too, you reuse materials that are often over looked or tossed out and yet how you incorporate them into your work is not just recycling but it adds more character and to me a homey quality! The stripes are precious against your cats stripes, how fun is that! Btw my ppl love love your cat bed as well as I too

@1959ticktock 4 года назад

I'm not innocent of this by any means, but... why do we insist on adding complex jointing (dominos here, plus your suggested screws) when the use is to support a very light animal. I am not suggesting we endanger animals by making unsafe sofas for them, but wood glue is stronger than the wood (usually), so straight glue joints should be enough to hold Dylan for ever.

@RagnBoneBrown 4 года назад

Wood glue on plywood end grain is not that strong and requires re-enforcement, especially as I could potentially be packaging and posting them somewhere else in the world 👍

@gileslaycock-brown7603 4 года назад

looks amazing but i'm sure i'm not alone that once the Festool Domino comes out I turn off. For the average woodworker a biscuit jointer is expensive.

@RagnBoneBrown 4 года назад

That's why I showed a method for making it without the domino, I guess you missed that because you turned off. I worked hard to earn the money for the domino, so I'm not going to apologise for using it

Suggest sprinkling a little catnip on it.

the best way I've found is to put an item of clothing you've been wearing on it, they like the scent. After a while once your scent is on it, remove it and hey presto! :-)
