    If you don’t like the part where you scraped the stain, you may be able to wrap some thick twine at the base. It may help the cat climb up and an easier place to scratch too :) and it’s relatively quick and easy to do! ☺️👍

    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.

      @@AverageDadChannel the paint/stain just isnt natural. Also, i know it's important to specially clean/shampoo the carpet scraps you're using, especially if it's 'new' or never been cleaned since being made.

    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😊

    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.

    How are the lag screws at the bottom of the tree holding up? I feel with the gradual wobble every time she gets on and off the tree it could split the base of the driftwood

    • @AverageDadChannel

      Holding up well, only wobble is of the entire thing as I don’t think our floor is flat but no movement between base and trunk that we’ve noticed

      glad it's helped someone! no stability concerns, it wobbles some when Taz jumps on it but I think the plywood and/or the floor isn't 100% flat
      I threw a basketball at the trunk portion fairly and it didn't budge. I'd start larger if you're concerned as it should be easy enough to cut it smaller and refinish the edges
