These look very nice. I like that they also serve as a „hidden compartment“ so one could maybe store some spare money or something similar in them.

Love your floating shelves! My husband watched this (and your previous video) an hour ago and is out in the garage now, building some (as we speak). Brilliant!! Thanks a bunch!!!

Thank you! I am looking to use vintage suitcases as my cat shelves and I think your technique will work perfectly!

Dude, you’re amazing! Got right to the pony and explained everything to a T. Thank you! Subscribed now!

Great project and especially important for small-space and indoor cats. Cats just love to be able to climb!

+Steve Ramsey thanks for watching yeah you're right the cats are loving jumping up and down these wall shelves

I've just discovered you Patrick through this and your other cat shelf video and I have to say I am thrilled to find someone with not only the ability to produce well edited videos that are not full of pointless banter and "umm"s and "errr"s, errors, sloppy workmanship and unsatisfying outcomes, of which there are so many out there, but someone whose videos are straight to the point, not needlessly over long and clear and easy to understand. I am thoroughly impressed by your setup too and more than just a little bit jealous. I think your vacuum sanding box is inspired and I love the table and fence you have created for your slide/drop saw, and your simple notched scrap timber "pushers" you use with your table saw are genuine thumb-savers. The one thing that I thought was truly brilliant though was unfortunately not a creation of yours (sorry!) but the "handle" pusher item you use to guide some of the timber through your table saw that goes straight over the blade. Its design is genius and had me wondering how it "attaches" to the timber - is it simply through your applied pressure, or is there suction at play? What is the item called and where do I obtain one? Thank you again for finally giving me a source of frustration-free workshop videos, I truly appreciate it!

Thanks for the video. Time for a Bunnings trip

Very nice shelves !

My daughter would love those. She's a cat lover!

I love the idea of the "arms" sticking out of the wall mount. I have been thinking through making cat shelves, but I have one really large maine coon (and another smaller one). So, normal cat shelves wouldn't work. I was worried about the extra weight ripping the shelf off the wall, but I didn't want to see all the ugly mounting brackets. This helped me tremendously and I thank you for posting it.

I love the shelves!!

Love it! You explained everything so someone with no skills can follow along, which is what I plan to do!

Great video...THANKS!!!!!

Awesome build Patrick.

Patrick's Work Shop Out of interest, did you screw the shelves to the brackets underneath the carpet, they looked a pretty snug fit, so may not have. Love the inset carpet! How do the cats get on with it? Knowing what cats can be like, they're just as likely to watch you making them then never go anywhere near them! :-) Thats where dogs have the advantage! BTW how your dog getting on?

well you're right about the snug fit so no screws,her cats love the shelves check out my instagram page to see pictures of the cats on them , i do flooring for a living and insetting the carpet is the only way to go ,and Ice is doing great real great as i'm shooting a update vid tuesday as a matter of fact to show her to everyone , thanks for asking Rich and thanks for watching

I'm so evil.....keep in mind I truly AM a cat lover. When you were saying make sure it's level I was thinking "but it would be so much more fun if it was slanted and slick".....sorry. At 1 time I had 30 indoor cats. People brought strays to me all the time. I finally was able to get the money together and get them fixed and find good homes for them.

Nice video. Just wondering why they are called floating.

One thing that can be complicated is to do thinner shelves and solid at the same time. I did.for my cats and I used 1x2" inside (the support) and 1/4" MDF panel (outside). So my shelves are 2" thick. I dont see how to go thinner other than using steel....

I don't think there'd ever be a danger of the cats pulling the shelves off the walls. I've done pull ups on floating shelves. They'll be fine

Thanks, I have a question. What is the distance between floating shelves that cats can jump?

@Patricksworkshop

6 жыл бұрын

hmm. good question. I think it depends on the cat. but most cases I would say 10- 16 inches.I have seen cats jump 6 plus feet up a fence. so most cats can jump any distance you hang them but I think its more for the look of the design of your wall than the distance a cat can jump. unless you have an older kitty than I would make them closer for easier climbing. I hope that helps . thanks so much for watching
