How to Build a Custom Dog Bed // DIY

I used a 2x6 and some plywood, and made a rustic and distressed wooden dog bed for Lucky.
I used some angle iron and some bolts in the corners, then spray painted them with a hammered black paint.
I distressed the wood with nails and a hammer to give it a weathered look, and gave it a two-tone coloured look with two different wood stains.

Cool staining procedures I haven't seen used but will incorporate in some of my projects. Thanks!

[@brutewarrior]

I have a morkie poo kind of like sweet lucky there. Great job 👍

[@1000dalias]

well done! what a beautiful project

[@shelleyredman]

Very nice!! I had envisioned something just like this to make for my dog Bella.

[@danielgonzales8279]

Great bed and great video mad. I would have added a more cloud like cushion though. Just my opinion. My dog would love it just as much as I love her. Thanks for sharing

[@DigitalSwagg]

Turned out beautiful! Looks like Lucky has room for 2! He might get "Lucky!" lol sorry couldn't resist!

[@erniehenshaw4161]

Lucky is Sweet And Very LUCKY!!!!!!

[@Smudgie33]

Came here because of Lucky (I have a Bichon Frise), watched and liked because of the build! 🙂

[@picksixtodahouse]

Very nice! I might go buy a dog just so I can make this bed.

[@CoreyRametta]

Make the dog bed first, then decide :)

[@TheWarch1ld]

Dont buy a Dog, go to a shelter and you will see the Dog will finds you. You can save a life and find your best friend - in once. Best regards

[@aimanbe.5412]

[@CoreyRametta]

+Aiman Amine Belhadj thanks!

[@MelGetmanova]

Love it! I wish I had the tools you have.

[@vincentcoronis3531]

Great vid. Thanks. I just got a Miter saw now I need a table saw to do this.

[@grantdavidson5069]

Very cool little bed Cory. We have exactly the same dog only he's an Opie. ( Maltese/Chihuahua)

[@michellelim4961]

Love it. How did you do the cutouts for the angle iron. wish you would have shown that part. Im trying to figure out that process and tools/machinery used.

[@CoreyRametta]

+Michelle Lim you can use a table saw to cut out a thin section

[@michellelim4961]

Ok great. Thats what I thought. Im giving this a try but Im doung a slat base instead of plywood. Im loving your design! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@slacov101]

Great Work!

[@tracyratcliffe6388]

i like that, thanks for sharing

[@pswetman2007]

Nice!

[@magicalempire]

nice job

[@elizflores4003]

Wow!! I'm in love

[@bamciefly]

I have three poms who need a bed for all to sleep on. I was wondering if I can use same format but larger and maybe some legs like 2x4?

[@CoreyRametta]

Of course, modify as needed

[@Michapewpew]

So, all that I need is a professional woodworking shop.

[@MicheleNichols2]

I would love to know how much that cost you to make.

[@tybernard9620]

Can you make me one? And if so how much would you charge? And where state do you live in?
Thanks

[@kosinpiriyithinkul5409]

Tung oil is teak oil right?

[@angelinasifuentes6888]

I was like shocked when you said the dogs name because my dog is white and fluffy like yours and his name is lucky as well as yours!😂

[@bullsensation1669]

I pretty much have the same size dog, what were the measurements on the box if you dont mind me asking?

[@swright1328]

A great plan but much too complex for me due to the variety of woodwork tools you have.

[@carlotta4th]

Most of this can be done with a normal table saw. Though it does look like the legs would need a jigsaw (handheld ones would work fine and are cheaper).

[@jraglob5924]

I made one for a small dog out of a wooden wine case with bun feet and a cushion, just a thought.

[@budgetnest963]

Nice dog bed. Your dog is so cute. He looks a lot like mine. What breed is he?

[@CoreyRametta]

Thanks! He's a Maltese

[@budgetnest963]

Np. Mine is a Chihuahua Maltese mix. Dogs can be different breeds and look so similar. That's why I ask. Lol

[@javierlee2986]

can u make a vid on making a bigger bed for my new husky

[@bigmac9013]

Mate that is motherfricken bad ass

[@toversnoleu8769]

the first few seconds of the video reminds me of a western movie where the caretaker sizes up those who's about to duel to start making the casket... -_-

[@Rgarcia713]

NICE!

[@duncanmacleod7283]

Nice job, but are all these stains pet safe? I can imagine your doggy gnawing on the timber and would hate to see it being poisoned!

[@CoreyRametta]

He doesn't gnaw, so I'm not worried.

[@kourtneyhoffman7809]

The first saw you used, is that a table saw?

[@CoreyRametta]

+Kourtney Brant no that was a mitre saw.

[@khalifaaa16]

I wish I was your dog 😅

[@wood4nothing284]

Cool

[@deannapowell8648]

You can do a 5 year old puppy 🐶 happens to be a tea cup Yorkers

[@r.e.r.6334]

Nice bed Lucky! Spoiled dog! Lol

[@crystalchavez4576]

Step 1 give up
🤔 Step 2 try to contact him to buy a bed from him for my Great Dane pup

[@jordanvictorino4382]

my granddaughter has a new puppy

[@danieleangelosante]

4:15 pulisci la colla!

[@rochelle9022]

Will you marry me?? Lol, great job

[@richardcorbin936]

Be a lot cheaper to buy one!

[@CoreyRametta]

What’s the fun in that???
