Cat House

My cat loves to sit on my shelf, therefore I built him his own cat house shelf!

It is a very simple box with 2 columns and my cat loved it from the first moment on.

To get an overview please watch the video.

Plan

click on the picture for detail informations
all measurements are in cm

Material:

• 3 layer pine wood 19 mm (3/4")
• 6 mm threaded rod, 4 nuts and 4 washers
• some pieces of scrap wood for the colums
• an old curtain rod
• screws
• Watercolors

Tools

• table saw
• my beam compass (YT-Video)
• my jigsaw table (instructable)
• cordless drill
• my pocket hole drill station (instructable)
• angle grinder
• random orbit sander

I cut all the boards on my table saw,

On my little jigsaw table I cut the circle shapes.

All parts are simple screwed together.

The back and the side walls got pocket holes, so you can't see any screw later.

the columns are made with 2 threaded rods and
some piece of blocks and a piece of an old curtain rod.

I cut the threaded rods in length with an angle grinder also two pieces from the curtain rod.

Some pieces of scrap wood got a hole in the middle.

I sanded all parts very smooth.

I painted all parts with watercolors This works really good.

Later I added a coat of linseed oil.

I drilled a bigger hole In the bottom for the nut

On the top the threaded rod goes throw the lid and the nut sits on top.

Later I added a little cube with a big hole to cover the rod.
