Hey all, My name is David and I'm from SW Missouri. Although I'm 40ish and did take wood shop in HS and built a gun rack (which is long gone somewhere, LOL) I am very new to woodworking. My wife bought me a TS 2 weeks ago and I jumped right in a built a window seat for our 21 yr old cat, CoCo.
We have a bay window in our living room that only has a 3 inch ledge and CoCo has been trying sooo hard to get up there but with his arthritis, he WAS unable to! NOW he can thanks to the kitty seat I made for him along with stairs for him to get up there with ease. I covered the steps with 1 inch padding and the top where he LOVES to lay and watch outside has a 2 inch padding for comfort. (Megan is our new 8 month old gray tabby)
Here's a few shots of it.
I know, pretty simple but hey, I had to start somewhere... LOL
All wood sanded smooth, all edges rounded by sanding, all screw countersunk (wanting to plug them), padding glued, covering stapled.
CoCo trying out the new Kitty seat!
Closer view...
Now that I've found this forum and have read a LOT here, I can think of better ways to attach the stairs... LOL It's all a learning process.....
Thanks for looking
Dave
