We're back to finish the catio in this video - cat shelves, tunnels, bridges, ladders, a cat tree, a cat house - Reggie and Betsy are getting it ALL... Because they deserve it!
My friend Lucy wanted a safe outdoor space for her two special kitties Reggie and Betsy, so in this video I build a catio / cat enclosure, and I'll be implementing several significant design improvements since last time I built a catio!
Usually, I’m scavenging the alleyways and streets for materials, but in this video I head to the local reuse stores to do some thrifting! There is so much potential in the things people throw away! I’m tackling some woodworking, a bit of upholstery, and a mid-century furniture restoration that didn't exactly go to plan!
In this video I use salvaged timber to make a new woodworking project which requires some work that is very much outside of my comfort zone! Using some Ash hardwood which was reclaimed from some old kitchen doors and drawer fronts, I am making some small beds for cats or small dogs, and the beds need some mattresses and I wanted the covers to be removable, so it was time to get the needle and cotton out... Prepare to see many fails!
Building a cat adventure playground for Mickie and Hazel, so our indoor cats can get some fresh air, sunshine, and have some fun playing in the catio / cat enclosure!
In this video I make some cat scratching boards, which I think are much nicer than the ones you can buy in the shop and are built to last! And we also pick up our new little girl cat Hazel.
In this video I make a simple bird house box for my garden, and later in the video you'll see that a blue tit has already visited - hopefully they will nest in the boxes soon!

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!
Cat sofa In this video I'm going to be making a sofa for a cat or small dog. I had lots of offcuts of 18mm plywood left over from my recent mitre station build and this would be a great project to make use of those.
In this video HiKOKI challenge me to make a project with limited tools. To make it a little more interesting I decided not to use my workshop either! I make some cat bed cabinets, but they can also be used as bedside tables / night stands, vinyl cabinets to store records or for book storage. The cabinet has an oak top made from salvaged oak worktop, legs made of salvaged hat and coat stands and a carcass made of 18mm hardwood plywood.
In this video I make a cat house pet bed type thing. Actually, I made three! And they're for sale on my Etsy store. You can also get plans and a cut list via my Patreon page or Etsy.
