Good night

Your furry friend will rest here in luxury. Make this bed with 1×6 clear maple lumber. Using a miter saw, miter-cut four 25½×25¼-inch pieces for frame sides. Glue and join frame using finish nails. Measure the frame opening, then cut a ¾-inch piece of plywood bottom to fit snugly. It will be about 24×24 inches. Hold bottom in place with finish nails, hammered through sides. Attach purchased tapered-wood feet. Paint and let dry. Cut 4-inch-thick cushion foam to fit, about 24×24 inches. Make a slipcover for the foam using sturdy fabric. Assemble for your pup’s bedtime.

Signs

Organize your pooch’s collection of toys, biscuits, kibble and accoutrements by using plastic containers in various sizes and a metal bin, all neatly displayed at nose height. We made labels featuring graphics of dogs, dog food and dog toys.

Chow Lift

Offer Fifi her kibble and drinks from this serving center. Make it with 1-inch-thick clear maple lumber. Using a miter saw, miter-cut two side pieces 5½×8¾ inches and two side pieces 5½×15¾ inches. Glue and join sides together using finish nails. Measure the frame opening and cut 1-inch maple to fit snugly as the top insert, about 7½×14½ inches. Using a jigsaw, cut holes to hold two metal pet bowls, each with a rim diameter measurement of about 6½ inches. Insert the top, using glue and finish nails to fix in place. Fill gaps, let dry and sand smooth. The last step is the most fun: Paint the serving center a happy color.
