    Suggestion if you were to make it again for hidden fixings for the rope. Use a forstner bit/ spade bit to create a rebate in the top of the post before an end cap is added and also drill/cut and chisel out a channel out of the side. you can use a washer and screw to keep it in place then wind it round to place of your choice and cut it with 100mm to spare and mark the wood. Drill a hole all the way through that the rope can pass through and then drill a wider hole half way through in which a knot would be abe to squeeze in. The knot will be covered when you wind the rope around the post. once all the way to the top you can then screw it back into place and cut any excess then glue on the top cap

    I like the idea of using concrete for the base. The cat posts and towers at the stores always seem to be top heavy (and outrageously overpriced!), and I've ended up putting bricks or books on or around the base to keep from tipping over.

    Try cutting out a 200mm square or oval piece of wood and cover it with sisal rope or carpet and screw it to the top. Our cats love sitting on the top.

    Hey Mr Bone Brown, I'm a brand new subscriber with a love of the type of stuff you do. I notice you use a lot of pallet wood and like I used to you dismantle pallets with a crowbar and hammer. Recently I found a fantastic chap with a massive field of reclaimed wood. When I turned up to get some old fence panels with my hammer and crowbar he let me have a go of his Pallet Breaker. It changed my life! It made taking pallets apart easier, quicker and I split almost no slats. The wood reclaimed was all in really good shape and the nails easier to remove. The type I borrowed wad about £70 on ebaY or Amazon. It was a little out of my price range but definitely worth what it costs. I found a roughneck one on Amazon for just over £20. It has a lifetime guarantee and does the job perfectly (needs a little more effort than the longer heavier one I borrowed) but I can't recommend one enough. It will change your life. Lee 😀

    I think you could have saved the original post. If you counter sink some screws to hold the pieces together and then cover all that with rope all the way down to the base you would never see them. It still turned out nice and ultimately if the cat is happy with it then consider it a job well done.

    don't let your PVA glue freeze it weakens it over time, if your workshop gets below zero then you might want to think about building a heated cabinet or bringing your glue into the house

    Touche' Brown Bone, touche'! I saw the thumbnail and thought for sure I was going to get my "cat in a shop" fix, but I see that you used that footage to lure the masses over to FaceBook. Well played sir. So I say to you, I will not Sam I Am! I will not watch FB videos on my router, I will not watch FB videos with clam chowder. I will not share my likes with Mark Zuckerberg, I'd rather float down the Trent on a dirty turd. I will not still not on my phone, I shall not pull it up on the PC in my home. Not even with a pound of lube, Can you lure me away from ole youtube. As always, enjoyed the process or "the story" your videos share, from running into trouble and adapting to sneaking up on a new trick, always a joy. Thank you!
