A DIY Cat Tree From A Tree

- When was the last time you saw someone's cat tree and thought "wow, what a nice piece of furniture". In this video I try to change that by building a cat tree/tower (potato/potatoe) out of one large driftwood piece. I made some mistakes along the way and discovered what electric scissors were.

"Doesn't even like their cat that much." *eye roll*
😃 I just hate dumpy looking cat furniture!
If anyone is questioning if this is peak dad performance, the new balance sneaker should tell you everything you need to know.
They’re so versatile
Came for the cat, stayed for the humor. You got a new subscriber
Great idea about how to keep the carpet looking nicer. That's the worst thing about every cat tree we've ever had. They really love their skanky-looking trees.
Hey there! Greetings from Western Australias Southwest. I subscibed because not only did you build an awesome cat tree you are so entertaining to watch. The mistakes made it even better because most people wouldnt admit that they made any at all. I build various structures so can totally relate to this video. Keep the videos coming mate! Youve got a new fan😊
Thanks Karen! New video is in the works
Great job, looks great, as far as value?...it's worth what it's worth to the person interested in owning it.
Thanks Drew
When we’re done with it we’ll just have to find someone who really really wants to own it
😂 “Not too safe you know!”Great Video mate! Crushing it! So funny watched this video twice already
As much as I wish you made a catio or another awsom cat tree, I subscribed because you are a hoot, my kind of sense of humor. Keep making videos you are hilarious
Thanks Elba, working on the next now
Large limbs [in some cases this is a whole tree] are indeed very heavy, well done getting it level enough to stand on it's own before securing it to a base. I think you did a great job, the colour is nice& natrual it looks very beautiful, fits right in your home & the Cat seems to like it. Though the shelfs look much nicer with the bare wood, I think I prefer the shelf to be fully covered in carpeting, up and under for my two Cats safety when they're rough housing and running around.
I have an old fashion box cutter uses a razor, it's very good at sharp smooth cut, better than a stanley type for neat cuts but that electric sicissors is interesting.
I've been thinking of doing this since 1990 when on Cape Breton Island, a gorgeous flat stone lined beach there [it's likely very different now, sadly] at the request of an artist, people had been erecting drift wood standing up in to the rocks, it was a gorgeous sight to behold. Due to it's location a lot of wood drifted and beached there.
I took one piece back with me, a beautiful silver tone limb about 3 - 4 inch in diameter and almost 6 ft long, sadly I lost it when moving. I really need to do this our indoor cats really need one, the ugly condo and scathing posts have to go they don't serve
the cats or the eye. Thanks for sharing.
Btw, I find ammonia is excellent at removing stain & paint when used asap if one regrets the colour applied.
Очень красиво!!!!
Lol 😂 “Pretty Good, Pretty Pretty Good!”
Congrats on reaching 4000. More cat projects, please! Heeheehee!!😉🤭
Haha thank you!
you better keep up your content, i see potential for a big come up for you big boy
Looks good! I appreciate the mistakes and lessons along the way.
this was a delight!
Beautiful $500.
Thanks Nanette, I’ll take it.
Love the jokes
How much wood I pay for it? a lot. I give it a month before we see another cat related video. Keep it up!
Why didn't you paint the base before screwing the tree in
That is a very good question, I wasn’t thinking that far ahead
@@AverageDadChannel I get that too alot.
Boo Packers!
The crap that is out there today isn't even close to the quality and effort you put into this. Most is [at best] particleboard if not cardboard. Still costing over $1K.
