i like the build. I’m doubtful the kitties will leave your chairs alone. I put several squares of carpet on the walls, but think mine need some of these too.

It just lets them practice for the main event: your chairs.

I was thinking that would probably be the case, but in fact they seem to like the new scratcher more. I think it’s the size and the angle. Cats are so picky.

Totally thought those were pennies as spacers at first glance!

My latest practical cut: Wall-mounted earring and necklace holder. I am not allowed to have a free-standing one, because cats.
This one is actually for a friend, so it’s just temporarily holding a few things so you can see how it works. (The little slots are for post earrings; I didn’t have any handy for showing that function.)

I like this a lot! Especially practical with spaces for both types of earrings.

I love it! I’ll have to try something similar for my DIL.

My uncle would tape a straw from his broom to the top of a door opening and his cat could jump up and bat it.
It was a mean cat.

Dangling cats as necklaces and earrings could certainly be a design idea. I think a few made it to the forum.

I finally got myself an inline fan - but before disconnecting the old setup I cut myself a spacer to put in the window…just a square and a box, but what a difference it makes!
If anyone buys this fan: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7S46YZ - the layout on this puts the bottom of the square level with the bottom of the legs of this fan

These snap-on tags label various connectors in my keg cooler. I love this 2-color thin acrylic… label all the things!
I also made a simple blank tag to write keg contents and notes. The tag snaps onto the split ring, the acrylic has just enough give to go on and off without breaking. Much nicer than writing on a tape label.

Those look nice! (Much better than the bread bag closure tabs that I use to label everything.)

Boring but functional: a caddy to hold aquarium test kit reagents and vials.
What I wanted to do was figure out a way to hold all the little parts, and include a means to let the vials drip dry upside down, etc etc… but while I was trying to figure out how to make the perfect caddy I kept spilling vials, so I made a simple caddy to get me going.

Perfect getting in the way of done. Yeah, I’m familiar with that. Nice job.

Semi-practical cut
Husband occasionally forgets to turn off the heating cables on the roof (to prevent ice built-up > leaking roof) and other such things which happen mostly in the garage… so I made him one of these. At first he wasn’t sure it was going to work, but today it saved him - not once, but twice!
