How to make a mobile DIY dog feeder (or cat) dispenser is made from a sheet of 12mm plywood and has lots of storage for:
• 40 x 400g/14oz dog food tins
• 10kg dog biscuits/kibble
• 2 compartments for dog treats, small toys, poop bags, leads or grooming supplies
• If you wanted, you could hang a water bladder backpack/camping bag on the side by a hook to fill your dog's water bowl when low... I just haven't found one I like yet!

This is unreal 🤣🤣🤣 A proper Gourmet Buffet station for Dogs .. Hand ringing the bell too 🤣 I wanna train George to ring a bell for the toilet cos he will just sit at the back door and not bark or anything lol I love this project so much 😍❤️🙌
Haha... have you seen those dangly bells on a strap to hang on your door handle? The one in this video came with it as a deal on Amazon. Hans has now learnt how to nudge the bells (on the handle) just to get attention, but it might be worth a shot with George.
Uggg, thank you for sharing my issue with measuring 😁. Now to downsize to gr. 4 science project ability 🤔
Great stuff, smart girl!
Now that sounds like a fun project!! Let me know if it works out! :)
Brilliant
Thanks so much! This is one of my favourites 🤩
Very beautiful and useful project. I love your dog is so cute.
Thanks so much! Hans would love you 😃
That's so clever Vikkie 😀
Thanks so much, Karl. Now your question was answered regarding the you-know-what I posted on Instagram the other day... a dog bone 😅
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Yes 🤣
Not really a clever idea, people have been making these for years
@@scousejohn alright Scouse calm down son.
There's a huge amount of on-the-hoof engineering here. I love a project that grows and grows until it does the job. Great problem solving at a break neck speed. Had to pause and go back a couple of times to keep pace. Brilliant final feeder station but I feel exhausted!
Sorry, I had your head spinning...although never considered myself as an engineer, which is nice 😂
I still have to write my step by step blog post for it and would love to get an insight as to which part of the video you feel would benefit from more explanations? Thanks!
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Hi Vikkie. Well it definitely wasn't a bad thing, I enjoy going over more complex parts in build vids. I replayed how you overcame the problem of the biscuits jamming the sliding tray. Was it just making the hole smaller that cured it? Also shaping the sheet at the back and the V-shaped hole to keep the flow steady. Your rapid pace is great to keep people interested but as I find you interesting anyway I personally could enjoy a slower explanation. It's a YT attention span thing, know.
Bugger... accidentally deleted my reply as I'm tired 😂(!!) I found the small hole above slows down the flow of biscuits from above and reduced any jams significantly compared to the blast idea where the holes were identical.
Also, the v-shape just allows the biscuits in the box below (while full) to travel better to their destination.... it's also not rounded off as I think more biscuits would get stuck.
So even if 1 biscuit gets trapped, the nuggets are already dropping into the bowl by the time the lever is pushed that far, so it's just a matter of moving 1mm back and forth without thinking to clear a jam, but thankfully it doesn't happen often. Thinking about it, I suppose this could be solved by bringing the bottom hole slightly closer to the front of the cabinet (or make that part bigger closest to the front), so the biscuits can drop even sooner into the dog bowl.
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK I think that's a perfect explanation for your blog post. I really appreciate you taking the time to write it (twice!) especially knowing how hard you work. And yes, I definitely think of you as a problem solving engineer when you figure out how to make things work like this. Thank you.
Ingenious👍
Cheers ☺️
What a lucky doggo 😀
Thanks 😁 It's made meal times a lot of fun for both of us 😆
Oh heck yeah this is fantastic! We have basically a cat rescue at this point and I've been looking for a feeder-type system like this. With a little modification we'll have ours set to mix 2 brands of kibble and dispense into a bucket to fill bowls around the house :D
Have fun making it 😀
superb and well worked out on the fly.I think it's great
Thanks! Annoyingly the first two designs I did on Sketchup didn't first work for the mechanism. But I felt like I were SO close to something, then kind of merged the two. Paid off in the end 😅
muy bueno. me gusta, tambien tu voz.
Muchísimas gracias 😊
One smart lady.
Maybe not smart... more determined, like a dog with a bone (and Sketchup helps to plan things) 😆
This dog feeder is awesome. I enjoyed watching you problem solve during the build. Sometimes, it's try, fail and adjust isn't it?
You are a talented, determined and resilient wood worker.
Thanks for an enjoyable video.
Thanks so much! And absolutely! There's only so much you can plan on a computer... then you add dog biscuits to the mix and it's chaotic 😂 I lost SO much time testing and testing different variables, but thoroughly enjoyed winning in the end!
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Your positive spirit is one of the things that makes you such a joy to follow and watch.
Thanks again.
That's great to hear ❤️ Thanks again for taking the time to watch! I really appreciate it!
how can i get one them for my dog
@6:14 Now I know where that expression came from.
This sounds very ambiguous lol
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Deliberate :)
That is absolutely brilliant, and so super inventive and impressive. You never cease to impress and inspire me in fact 😊❤️
Fun project. Good job.
Cheers! It's definitely fun to use every day :)
Nice blog Vikki enjoyed watching popsi 🇬🇧💕
Thanks so much ☺️
This is beautiful
Nice project indeed! But I know me and I'd never do anymore after the 6:14 point. But it is a great idea!
😆 I really couldn't stop tinkering on this build.
This is such a great idea my dog doesn't really eat the biscuits anymore as hes old and can't chew them properly but he loves his meat so i may utilize the tin food part of the project as its very useful thanks for the inspiration 👍
Thanks :) I was thinking, it would be great if both sides were tins. One side screwed from the back, the other side, pocket holed. Let me know if you decide to make it :)
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK i will let you know if i get round to it i also made a bird box after you inspired me to just give it a go im also looking into building a new picnic bench using my old one as a reference just using thicker wood
6:14 🤣 oops!
😅
Good job, was quite alot of internal work there well done, love the storagage for all the tins, there was no way out the dog bone 🙆♂️😂 stanley's a good stapler..
Nice little unit in the end the dog gota love it🐕👍
How did I not see that dog bone happening? 😆 The can storage and treat compartments are probably Hans' favourite bit... he only eats biscuits when he's got late light munchies as a last resort lol.
I'm wondering whether I own genuine Stanley staplers or not. Have a fewling they're Tacwise. Not sure as mine's very old and have read reviews it's rubbish. I'll try once more with new staplers. If no luck, it's time for an upgrade!
Very nice 👌
well done i made some thing like that for my birds
Thanks :) Is yours with a metal/plastic blast gate? I spotted one on the family handyman while researching which got me thinking :)
💖
❤️
👍👍👍
Cheers ☺️
That's brilliant 👏 very well done my partner might build one for me next so I don't eat to much either 😂
😆 what would you put in it? 😂
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK probably my favourite sweets 😋 fizzy cola bottles 🤣🤗
😄
That is amazing Vikkie. Are you gonna approach any companies to get it into production?.
That would be an awesome idea if I could get it manufactured! I can imagine it being in a pet shop 😀
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK GO FOR IT !!!. You know it makes sense Rodney. 😉
How do you stop the oil from the kibble that will build up over time from going rancid and contaminating new food you're adding? Serious hygiene concern...
With the plastic sheeting inside similar to the large sacks kibble can come in (and many are now sold in paper bags) humidity isn't an issue where I live and there's constantly a rotating system, so I can't see it going off.
can i duy one
I'm selling the plans in my description 😄
Hi vikkie.hope your ok and survived the hot weather we just had. I ain't seen anything of you since the dog food dispenser.( I shan't mention the penis thing).😂😂😂just wondering if you had any new projects planned mate.hope so.stay safe mate.👍
Thanks for thinking of me ☺️ Yes, I have a few projects finished, but I'm in the middle of something at the moment, which all will be revealed soon! 😄 Apologies for the cryptic reply, but it's all good.
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK ok.ill let you off then.😂😂😂glad your ok though mate.
