me watching with my cat
my cat look at me
me look at her and say ’’why dont you be like his cat ’’?
REAL MEN LOVE CATS!!!
Wife is making him do it.
Awesome cat tree! Looks much better than most I've seen in the store. I'd need a much heavier base though. My cats like to chase each other around the house and tend to knock over anything in their path!
The ones in the store are garbage and way overpriced
It is interesting to see how well you used pieces of carpets to line the MDF. You skipped the time-wasting introductions and jargons used in many “DIY” videos and used time-lapse (“fast forward”) appropriately. The last couple of minutes with the cats in the “tree-house” was icing on the cake! Thanks John for the brilliantly created video.
Your cat's love your great project, it had lots of detail. We learn a lot

Fantastic job, I've never seen more contented cats!
You make it look so easy. And I've never seen anyone work as fast as you.
Awesome, I luv how easy it is to take apart and put back together♡
14 dog lovers up in here.
Fantastic video. They fell in love with it immediately.
Sweet, beautiful kitties! I’m so impressed! Great job on the build. I was watching all of the measurements thinking how I would never think of doing it like that…you make it look easy but omg I would be banging my head on the wall. ❤️🙌 👏🏼
Thank you Lemon!!
I've never seen ANYONE move that fast before....LIGHTENING!!! LOL
Like it...gotta build a couple'a trees and this is a nice one.
Haha Thanks man!
Nice job ... VERY nice job ... you paid so much attention to detail. I’ve got 3 cat trees, all retail, and I don’t think a one of them was as well built as yours
Now those are 2 very fat, happy and comfy kitties who love their Daddy even more now! 😍😁
I love how precise every measurement was. High quality craftsmanship relies more on precise measuring and less about slathering everything with glue to hold things together.
Keep up the awesome work dude!! 😁😁
Thank you Emily! We do everything for our Chonkers don’t we?
Absolutely!! Currently kitting out my big shed into a cat palace for my 4 fluffies. Gunna have comfy af beds, loads of toys, things to climb on and into with a tunnel door leading to a catio area so they can get fresh air safely without being catnapped again!! 😁😁
Omg I love it! You knocked that project out of the park WOW!!!!
Looks Fantastic, Great Job! Just wondering why you didn't carpet everything before you put the hideaway box on the top, wouldn't it have been easier to carpet, before assembled? Super Awesome, I'm impressed, so is your kitty too, I'm sure it's so grateful!
Yes it would have! Hindsight was 20/20 here
Great job! Your cats are cute!😸
As a retired carpet installer I must say, great job!
Thanks Robb!
These videos relax me to sleep🥰
Looks a lot better than what folks can buy at the store. I'll give it a try and build one for my kitties.
I also like woodworking. It would be easier to carpet the base, shelf and cat house before it’s assembled. Brackets could be used to support the shelf and large bolts would be better to secure the base and cat house to the posts. I like the idea of using 4x4 lumber for the posts. Your cats love it. Now to make a Catio for the balcony and a work bench. It is painful working on the floor. Thanks for the video.
that was an insane amount of work but you can tell the cats love their clubhouse 🤣
Thank you! And yeah, they’re ALWAYS on it haha
1:14 i like the idea of cutting close to the ground but does it really make clean up easier? i plan on building a bartop arcade cabinet this seems like it would be better than using a work bench
It is an easier clean up when cutting on the ground, but the only real reason I did this was because I was building it in my apartment living room. Probably better to cut standing up instead of bending over for hours
cutting outside seems it can be a good option
You love your cats 😊and it shows 👌beautifully done! I have 3 cats some day I will try it. Thank you
Thank you Mahendra! How old are your kitties?
@@johnbarneswood mother cat is 10years and her two kids are 8years 😊
It would be nice to add a ramp or ladder . Cats are so curious and love to climb.😊
Nice job! Looks like they love it
Appreciate your fast forwarding, would appreciate the supplies needed…nice show off
The speed of this made it a no go for me. No way I’d be able to replicate this. When I saw the thumbnail it was an absolute dream come true for me. I’ve long I hope that I could make something like this but it’s impossible to know how to make one of these.
Use your settings to -lay it at half speed. Click on the gear symbol.
So cute I wish I knew how to do all this for my cat 🐈
I’m positive you could do something amazing if you wanted to!
Awesome build and your cats love it, that's the best part and I'm thinking that the doggo is jealous that he doesn't have his/her own! 🐕 I see how you very safety conscious for your fur babies by folding in that knife, so please protect your feet as well. Sneakers are better than nothing. And I love the last part when you're playing with your fur baby so I just had to subscribe! 🙂🐈
So much work I’m glad they love it lol as we can see when you moved
I love it!! A perfectionist and cats approved with no shoes too!! 👏
Really really impressive! Job well done! The best men know their way around tools and are productive like this!
Not gonna lie, this made me exhausted just watching. I think I might just purchase one online haha:) I'm not sure as a smaller woman I would have the physical strength to even do this lol.
Great video, thanks!
God Bless.
You can do it!
Building it to your scale, I’m sure you’d build something fantastic
It's so funny how you just put the cats on it and walk away. Like, I'm over this shit i need a beer 😂
This construction is very fine and does not require much effort.
Thank you!
Fun watching, thank you!
Beautiful job and beautiful cats!
Great Work 👏
Thank you!
I wish I had a nail gun like that. My cat's tower would have turned out way better. Yours looks great!
Amaizing how you made this work more difficult,complicated and longer to do...just incredible Mr Bean
Thank you very much! Very nice and you encouraged me to do one. I wish if the diameters were written in the description
Nice job. Might be the first one who didn't hot glue everything. How long did it take?
It took 8 hours of work. Would go faster with a tablesaw and if you’re working on a workbench
Nice work!
Awesome project . Looks great. Love your cats
Wow... best one I’ve seen yet. 👏
My cat enjoyed watching this.
Meow
awesome !!
Es ist sehr schön geworden habe bis heute keinen besseren gesehen 👍
Excellent build!
Looks nice
That’s some talent. Nice job 👍🏻
Hi,
I just discovered your video of the cat tree, which is incredible, I would have liked to know if it would be possible to have the dimensions to try to make it.
In the comments you say that you released a video with the dimensions and voice over but I didn't find it
Thank you in advance
Awesome tree but can we come up with an alternative to putting carpet in the normal space for the tree could you sub out door carpet 🙂 so as mayby looking great to us but makes better sense for cats😁 just something to maby get them to not scratch the main carpet?
Excellent work and video.
Bonito y muy profesional en su trabajo, hubiera sido genial que indicara medidas y que materiales uso para la construcción, o sea un paso a paso y algo más pausado, puesto que uno mira para aprender y tratar de hacerlo! Y con tanta rapidez uno se pierde.
Oh my gosh, you cannot find cood cat scratcher made with real carpet. LOVE, LOVE , LOVE THIS. So when are you going to make me one? 🙁
How can you make those cuts so clean and precise
Super awesome. Good Job bro👍👍👍👍
WOW! You are quite the Craftsman!
Hey thanks Eric!
Beautiful.
Incredible
big respect bro 👋🤍💗
love from malaysia 🇲🇾
twice as wide and one more storey!! ;-D Good work there and VERy fluffy nice rugging as well!
It looks amazing. Where did you bought the carpet. It looks so thin compare to other stores carpet.
That was an awesome build. Well done!!!
Thank you Chuck!
Good!!
Wow!
Süpersin dostum
ellerine sağlık
Nice work 💯😊
Thanks Debra!
Love this! Much more better than the ones in pet stores. Wish i could do it myself, i must convince my dad now 😆
I don’t know why but when i First got Into the video I said out loud “IS HE WEARING NOO SHOESS”😱
Milosh Antic - And wearing the mask on his forehead while cutting the board!
Oh no safety cops 🚔
He's in his house
Wow
You are my hero!!!
I'm curious if you find it easier to carpet after you attach the beams rather than before?
Yes, it is definitely easier to do that prior to attaching posts. Hindsight is 20/20
Super travail⚒️
Super professionnel💪
Amazing
Well done mate
goddam, I wish I had the skills and tools to do this on my own
What a cool and great project. Nicely done sir.
Excellent waw 🤩👌👍
they LOVE IT!! OPEN THE BLINDS so they can gaze 💗
when I saw him building this with 4x4 supports I thought these aren't cats these are mountain lions..LOL
Didn’t you see the size of my calico? She weighs about as much as one!
Hermoso y práctico felicitaciones y gracias
I wanna be this crafty
Amazing
i love wearing my mask on my forehead when cutting mdf too ....gives the best protection lol
Just protecting my brain ;)
@@johnbarneswood lol love it...great video brotha
Buen trabajo 👍
Excellent from 🇬🇧
That's a pretty nice job you did there. Was wondering why you didn't frame out the bottom of the sleeper, like you did with the posts on the base?
An oversight, for sure! And thanks! I just posted a new video with all the dimensions and a voice over :)
Are you using carpet or wood glue? 🤔 just see the starbond brand but which kind? Great job by the way!
Bravo 🌻🌷
great construction ! What is the city with such a nice view (19:27)?
Thanks! That’s Houston
How long did this take in real time?
About four hours
Great job! Only thing that makes me nervous is if staples get pulled out
They’re in there pretty good. I have to pull hard with pliers, so I’m not worried about the cats
Open the blinds let them look outside. Add some more cat caves and platforms nice job though 👍😉
I heard about woodprix instructions good opinions.
Woodprix is really good to me Cordelia. So I can agree with U
This is awesome video show us how to DIY a cat tree. I just have 1 question:
Why the price of the meterial add up together is even higher than just buy one?
Please correct me if I am wrong. (all prices estimated.)
$50 ply wood
$10 4X4
$30 carpet (4*8 feet plywood count as half coverd, total 16sqft. using $2/sqft carpet)
$20 rope (8feet 4x4/half inch rope about 200 rounds. each round 4x4 is 16 inch, total of 3200inch which is more than 200 feet inch rope needed. use $10/100feet rope.)
Thus without nails, glue, staple, sand paper etc small appliances, without labor, electric and clean after, total of $110 is needed at minimal. Which I have already used almost the cheapest meterials.
Meanwhile, a 3 level 50-60 inch cat tree on chwey or petsmart is around $100.
I don't know. WHY?
What are you using to nail the carpet to the wood?
A WEN staple gun
Thanks, john
What kind of carpet do you use sir?
The kind where the fibers stick straight out and aren’t folded back into the carpeting mesh. When the fibers stick straight out, the cats will have a harder time ripping them out and the product will last longer
💖💖💖💖💖💖
Ficou Show ! Perfect
funny when u put the cat 🤣
How long did it take to make it???
You’re awesome
You’re awesome too!
