Scrap Wood Project: Dog Bed Build

Hey Everyone!Show more

I was able to get more time in the shop than what I previously thought, so I was able to knock out another weekend build!

I purchased my dog Ozzy new bedding, then thought to myself. Wouldn't it be nice for him to have an actual bed. So I looked around my shop to see what I had on hand and voila! A dog bed was built!

This bed was built with:
2 maybe 3 1x3's (8ft)
1.5 cedar picket (6ft)
scrap piece of plywood from my Halloween cutouts

I purchased the dog bed from TJ Maxx for about $15 and with the cost of the wood, this build would have cost me a total of maybe $30. Which is not that bad! I had an idea in my head, but no real instructions. This was built as I went along and some changes were made when I tried to use 1x2s. All the 1x2s that I had were warped, so I was not able to use them. For the top rail of the dog bed, I trimmed down a 1x3 and used that. Which it turned out pretty cool.

This was a fun build and I you have any questions. I am here to answer them! Like I said, this build has no instructions and everything was built based on the dimensions of the bed. So please, don't hesitate to ask me anything and I hope you give this a try! Great for Dogs and Cat beds (as you will see in the video)
