Sorry to those that wanted to see it in action, this toy was donated right after being made. My fat cat would only use it if I held chicken up, and my others- have congestion heart failure and the other is 14 years old. This isn’t really the toy for them. I do not personally know the person that took it home, but am working on seeing if they can make a video for me. Check out my newest wheel video. It has an improved base, video of cats using it, and is made of corrugated plastic. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYF8t7hwXcKqlaQ.html

You should sell these for 100 bucks and undercut the one cat or whatever its called
If this is really a sustainable solution, then god bless you. I've been looking around briefly and these things are all sold for hundreds of dollars minimum. Even some cardboard ones I've found online are like $600. It's insane. There's a special place in heaven for youtubers that show us how to make cheaper versions of expensive things.

@@a.k.7116 cut piece, line them up, tape them down, wash, rinse, repeat :) Just teasing.
First I'd like to say thank you so much for creating this tutorial and the video. I just spent the past 2 days building it and thought it might be helpful to say a few words about my experience for others interested in doing this build. My biggest tip would be don't use dollar store duct tape, I bought 3 rolls and unloaded 2 of them onto this bad boy, it worked great for a few hours but by the end of the night/ next morning, 80% of it had lifted causing some pretty key areas to separate. I realized I had some gorilla tape and retapped the wheel and it held like expected. Second, yes the wrapping paper looks great and covers all of the tape work, but it will quickly get destroyed mainly on the area where the wheels touch it or on the sides where your cat decides to bear hug it mid-run, it will come off and come off quickly. I used gorilla glue spray because my dollar store didn't have spray glue and it peeled right off. Also if you have any cats in your house that enjoy shredding paper they will enjoy helping the paper come off. I would just pass on the paper decor and save some time. I spent time making sure my arch for the base and my wheels were correctly placed making sure to have that finger width gap on all sides. It ran okay when I was testing it out with my hands but once a cat was added into the mix sides would rub and now there are skid marks lining the wheel. I think a lot of it has to do with the areas where the dollar store duct tape released causing areas to expand and thus rub while spinning with the added weight. Unless I really messed some measurements up this wheel is not meant for speed. I would suggest buying a single brick while you are at the hardware store picking up your caster wheels to place in the base and help weigh it down. I have to supervise and make sure the thing doesn't tip over and stays running relatively smoothly. However, it is getting pretty beat up and worn out quickly and it's only been in use for a day. This is a great build if you have a kitten, a slow-moving chonker, or just want to see if your cats would have any interest in a wheel.

This might be easier if you make one arc, cut it out & use that as a template to mark all the other arcs...this will save a lot of time moving the board around...contact paper could also be used instead of wrapping paper to eliminate the spray adhesive...I think I may make one of these for my 2...cheapest I found so far is still pushing $300...they won't know the difference...

I was incredibly lucky and got a huge beautiful cat wheel for free!! A lovely couple in my neighborhood had got it for their cats who had no interest in it and they posted in in our neighborhood "buy nothing" fb page". I was SOO excited but of course my chunky diva of a feline had zero interest in it. But my aunt who has 7 cats 3 of which were still kittens at the time and they LOVED it! It really just made my heart light up seeing those goofy kittens play on it. This was about two years ago and those goofy cats still love playing on it to this day!!!

quite interesting how low-buget in can get :) If you are already working with polystyrene, perhaps you could double the floor and fill the space in between with PU foam. I'm very interested in low buget cat wheels, I'm working on a design my self. My material of choice is cardboard and I think most cats will approve that. When cardboard is properly fitted and nested, it can become really stable.

Your circles will be stronger /more rigid if you *don't* line up the seams. When building a plywood construction beam, the wood is laminated to ensure cuts do not line up, that way there is no single weak/flex point.

That is expected. Nothing unusual, and you'll probably have no peace until you make another one for your kitties to train them further. It's so sweet that you gifted another kitty with it, I wish you all best. I watched 4 diys of this wheel and all are so good, but yours is lightest , simplest and easiest to make and I find it best to work with foamboard; although cardboards and other materials are good too. So pretty thanks for this fabulous idea. But instead of base, maybe you'll find it a challenge to try another solutions, like such that the wheel is suspended in the air, attached to some frame, and rotating from centre...and if you do try and come up with even simpler solution, I will be here waiting to watch. ;)

Turned over on its back The turned over on its back The casters are2". Since they are in place I don't want to take it apart. Because it's actually a great base. So I guess really my question is did you decide on the size of the wheel and then fit the base? I know you were moving the wheels around a bit. Do you happen to know how far apart your wheels were? I'm just trying to figure out every which way to come up with the size. Have a great night and if you can help me I so appreciate it. I have shared many of your videos on Pinterest.

The placement of the wheels were based on how high the supports underneath were and I learned (the hard way) to get them as wide as the base will let you put them. If they are not set wide, the wheel wobbles a ton. You will need to elevate with something stable under the wheels to lift them high enough to clear the curvature of the base by at least 1/4 itch, but I wouldn’t go more than 1/2 inch.

I do have 2 cat trees planned that use the clear bowl in different ways, but the first one will not be made for at least a month. Thank you for sharing too!

@@CatToyLady oh thank you, that is wonderful help. I can't wait till you make your next cat tree. I'm going to wait on mine until you do. Have a great day ❤️ be well
Was the base on that big enough for an adult cat and was the circular unit heavy enough to stay in place when a full-grown cat was running on it?

It is, but check out the newest wheel video, My cats have been using it for months now.
As I was watching, I too was wondering if you were an engineer or architect. Sorry to hear about your senior kitties poor health. They have a smart pet parent who will help in advanced care.
Can you use other glue besides low temp glue? Like super glue?

Super glue melts foam. You can find glues for foam board, they do take a bit longer to dry, just try to find one that says it’s non toxic when it dries
