My first project!!!

[havighurst]

I finished my first project. It is an elevated dog feeder. I am pleased with how it turned out. Having seen all the amazing woodworking on this site inspires me to continue to improve my skills. I also want to thank Ken Massingale for his suggestion for the finish. This site is the best out there.

Nice looking Dog Feeder, finish looks excelent.

I own three dogs and I just have one question.....There's one dish for Food, another for Water.....what's the third dish for?

Sorry to be so ignorant but I really would like to know.

Now, I'll join Gmack on what's the 3rd bowl for? I have never seen an elevated dog feeder before. My dogs over the years have never ask for one and I'm not mentioning it to them in fear of it might show up on a Xmas list.

I have seen something similar though. In VN, similar pieces were built in base-camp without the bowls and had cut down 55 gallon drums placed underneath. You poured diesel fuel in them when full and burned the contents.

Now.. with the refinement your piece shows, I know what the General's looked like! :>)

Just kiddin' of course... nice work and the finish looks great..

Regards...

I have two dogs. The third bowl is a second food dish. They really seem to like not having to bend as far to eat and drink since they are both getting older.

Great work...wish my first project came out half as well.

Where is Metamora, MI? I know where Metamora, OH is...is it anywhere close?

[havighurst]

It is in the thumb (for those of you who don't live in Michigan, it is shaped like a mitten and when you ask anyone where they are from they always point to their hand). It is about two hours away from Sylvania.

Very nice!

Tell us a little more about it. What kind of wood, how did you make the legs, how is everything attached, etc.

[havighurst]

The top and aprons are oak plywood with edge banding. The legs are solid oak and it was assembled using pocket screws. It was actually very simple to make. It was finished with Watco Danish Oil-Golden Oak.

Very nice.

Looks good. The first in a long obsession, er, interest in WW projects.

Of course, now your SO will want a dining room table to match; why should the dogs get the best furniture?

Excellent work!
