Took me 3 days to build but it was worth it. My cat now has a round, vertical, oversized wooden bed.

I love it I think it looks very cool. if I were to use that design, the only thing I would change is I wouldn’t leave gap’s in the carpet. I think by leaving gap’s in the carpet it makes it more difficult because they’re concentrating on missing that gap instead of concentrating on running full out. Great video keep it up .👍🏻
NoLi - you are a master. I love your videos and this one especially. Even if I didn't have 2 cats I would be watching. I know a Amish man who does wonderful woodworking and am hoping to present this plan in order that I have him make me one of these. The reviews of the ones on the market basically state "don't waste your $$". I appreciate that you included demos on how to get kitties interested in the contraption! Master Cat Toy Creator - NoLi! Thank you for the plan and demos.
If you have a router, make a cheap circle cutting jig from some scrap MDF. In mine, I made a 1/4 groove and used 2 layers of 1/8th hardboard glued together. This was faster and easier than gluing screwing all the individual boards and it creates a perfect circle. Hardboard is extremely flexible. All in, $54 for 3/4th 1 sheet of MDF, $14 for 1 sheet of 1/8 hardboard, $17 for longboard wheels/bearings and < $20 for other various hardware/glue. You can make a simple stand with less than two 2x4's. All in you can easily make one of these for $100 + time. Better quality than a commercially available one. From what I've seen the $150 ones are junk and only start to get okay at $350 up to $600. There's a lot of comments saying its cheaper and better to buy, but I'd disagree if you have even just a couple basic tools.
Thanks so much for this! Vet says my two cats must lose weight and this looks like it will really help. Now to get this built . . .

How do I determine the dementions? By the base or size of the wheel. I tend to overthink my projects, and basically my mind gets to the point where I don't understand anymore because I've somehow decided that it must look like one of the 7 wonders of the the world🤦🙄
Kinda looks like r= pet length, does that sound right for diy?
