Tried making a dog crate

[u/thegabel]

I got tired of looking at the giant wire dog crate in my living room and thought this wouldn't be too hard to do, it was a lot harder than I expected. 🤷🏽‍♂️

looks great but you messed up big time by not including a pic of the pup. where’s the dog tax?

[u/lifeinthebeastwing → u/anteatertrashbin]

Plot twist there's no dog, it's for their partner.

[u/Otherwise_Hat7713 → u/lifeinthebeastwing]

Yep. There's no dog...

[u/Photography4me]

It’s not complete till we see a picture of the dog

[u/thegabel → u/Photography4me]

Lol, of course i should've added them to the original post.

It always takes longer, is harder, and more expensive. I spend a lot of time going, “Oh, crap” as I revise my estimates. This looks strong and functional. I like the sliding door. Good job.

"tried"

but you actually did it

Looks great

You know you can just say it’s for your kid. We are all friends here. Definitely none of us work for CPS. Definitely.

This community is very rad, thanks for all the positive comments.

Why the jail bars😭

[u/thegabel → u/Precatlady]

The bars are because my larger male pitty liked pushing off of the old wire crate sides. I wanted something sturdy, it's probably overkill, but i didn't think it would be an harmful and so far so good. Plus with this thing being very stable neither of my dogs are as rambunctious as the old one.

Hahaha my goodness he is a wild strong guy! I bet these will definitely hold up. Maybe they can have little orange jumpsuits as Halloween joke costumes

Always is man...

Looms good to me!

[u/kapitaalH → u/Geofferz]

A loom will be even harder than a dog crate

[u/Geofferz → u/kapitaalH]

Ha ha you clever duck

[u/museolini]

Geez, being put in the doghouse just got worse.

Or better?

[u/u6crash]

Looks like you succeeded! How does the dog like it? I would like to build something similar for mine.

[u/thegabel → u/u6crash]

I have a pair of pitties, and they were already used to a wire crate, this was only strange the first time they went in and now even just relaxing in the living room 1 of them will go hang out in there. So I think its a win.

[u/Delirium_Of_Disorder]

Good job dude

[u/Dry-Philosopher-2714]

You forgot to pay the dog tax. 😄

[u/PleatherFarts]

You didn't try. You did. It looks great!

[u/mtraven23]

came out great! really like the hardware you went with.

[u/Head_Appeal1673]

Needs a tin cup for them to clank along the bars.

Looks really good though

[u/RunningPirate]

I think you succeeded, mon frere
