Doghouse

Our family just have a puppy. She is Ilka, a little komondor:

When she grow up she will be a quite big dog, about 50 kg. This size of dog is not welcomed inside our house, but as the winter season is coming she need a place against rain and snow.

The doghouse project was accepted by the family. We asked the breeder about the recommended sizes of it and went to buy the lumber.

The design was quite simple it was almost a box, with a simple roof. This type of dog has a strong fur, so the doghouse did not required a special layout to keep the warm inside.

Firstly I created a rack.

Than the bottom and the sides were covered.

My daughter also gave me some useful hands.

Finally I covered and painted the roof. The sides just have some rape-oil, to not disturb the noose of the dog.

The house is still big for Ilka, but in the last 5 week she almost doubled her size.

Stool

A long time without posts. My daughter is growing up, she left the cradle and started walking. While she is walking in the house she is trying to sit everywhere what is fit's her size. By now all of our paper boxes are compressed and this inspired me to create a stool for her.

The design is is quite simple, a hole on the top, dovetailed legs and one crossing bar to make it more stable. Here is the finished stool:
