CMR Woodworks | Chris McDowell Thank you Chris! I love the White Cedar, from pale yellow sapwood to the richness of pink, red and brownish heartwood, very nice to work with and it smells amazing. Guanacaste on the other side is exotic wood, beautiful, but irritates the respiration and it makes you sneeze with nose running...heavy stuff. Once finished it doesn't produce any effect.
Hi Martin, It sure is nice to have tools, however I started my woodworking with a drill and jigsaw (no those weren't good quality tools). Little by little you get a lot of tools as you go, it's a slow but very enjoyable process. Check out Stumpy Numbs on YT. He hadn't had almost any woodworking tools when he started! Cheers
What a beautiful doghouse! Any dog would be proud to call it home. Heck, with the tiny house movement here in America you could almost rent it out to people for weekends, it's that nice!. :-) Thanks for sharing.
Andrea you did a amazing job on the dog house that is by far the nicest one i have ever seen,you have some skills my friend and i like how you are not afraid to admit you made mistakes,i think that makes you a lot different than other people they would have just edited it out,i really like your honesty,all the best to you and yours
Thank you Adam! Wax works really fine after the lacquer finish, you just need to apply it lightly and buff it after 30 minutes. Repeat this every six months with light sanding beforehand and you'll have a long lasting project!
Andrea, really good work and a beautiful finish. Would be very interesting to see what you could do with a shop full of tools! Maybe you could rent a space and acquire some tools and teach woodworking and English? Everyone could learn to say "mortise and tenon" and "Titebond III". Love your work, wonderful to watch your skills grow!
Michael Anderson Thank you very much Michael! I was planning on renting a space for workshop, but the renting price and lack of my time (due to job) to dedicate to woodworking - yet worse; taking videos by doing it is close to impossible. This is still just my hobby and a passion. I can assure you that there are more videos to come from me! Cheers, Andrea A.
Ron Briz Thank you Ron, I would live in it too if it were bigger, always wanted a cottage house and a workshop :) The temperature here is awesome all year round.
Very nice Dog House! Seriously, it is beautiful Andrea. And the removable roof is brilliant. I don't have a dog but I can use your design as a pump house for my irrigation system. Thanks for sharing....
Charlie Zellner Thank you very much Charlie! Pump house for irrigation system - that would be cool, you could say it's growling and not in the mood to be petted :)
Fantastic dog house and it just shows you dont need a workshop and expensive tools to do it. Svaka Cast! (Btw, I bet you will get featured on Drunken woodworker again :)
It's beautiful - a work of art. I'm looking for some type of insulated dog house that can house a tough, but loved dog outside in a Midwestern winter - something insulated that will keep the dog dry and warm.
That looks amazing Andrea. I'd almost be afraid to let a dog in it. lol. What is the bees wax and oil mix that you use? It makes the finish look great.
Thank you! It is a luxury house, indeed. Nevertheless it should last a minimum of one dog lifetime and provide great service even in harsh weather (sun and rain). My mix is 3 parts mineral oil and 1 part wax. I have a video on that: ua-cam.com/video/-2_VlEPLPO8/v-deo.html
great job! How heavy is it? Andrea you may install only few solar led lights. Spikes for garden would fits well and could give a nice looking to the dog house :) Great job anyway, very professional.
I would like to have one but a really good one, until then it's a circular saw mounted under the table...still does a better job than this portable one. Anyways I still miss a dedicated space to work :)
+Guilherme Geraldini Thanks. Laser printed image (text) and then transferred to wood with thinner, it's very easy to do. try it with a piece of newspaper and thinner to wood first to get the feel.
That is going to be one lucky dog. Very nice work and finish for a dog house. I think it was funny that you had english subtitles on your video, do people have a problem understanding you ? because I never have. Have a good one.
woodturningjohn Thank you very much John! I like to put them because I'm not a native speaker and it could happen that I have hearing-impaired audience. Take care, Andrea A.
It looks great. I'd be interested to know how it holds up in the heat and rain over time. Maybe do a followup next year? :) I'm debating on how to make one for my dogs, but they're a lot bigger. We have pretty high summer heat here (outside Dallas) and the thunderstorms can be severe part of the year, so whatever I do will need to be sturdy.
***** This one will hold up really good and for a very long time. It needs to be mantained (cleaning and applying wax or finish as needed) and it could serve for at least two spans of average dog's life. Woods used are rot and insect resistant.
que padre te quedo la casa para tu mascota....good. me gusto mucho por lo bien hecha y bien detallada. un saludo desde México. le di manita arriba y me suscribo a tu canal. saludos a Croacia.
No, the roof can't leak as it has the shingle type layering so it's rain impervious. The wood will absorb water but the roof angle and gravitation work in a way that water just slides off. Cheers!
Thanks. Laser printed image (text) and then transferred to wood with thinner, it's very easy to do. try it with a piece of newspaper and thinner to wood first to get the feel.
Thats a Great looking Dog house!! That finish came out beautiful!! The finish came out great!! I wish I would have seen these videos earlier, I would have tried your finish on the Garden Bench I built, By the way if you have free time check out the video on the bench, give me your opinions, good or bad!! Anyways Great video!!
NKWB Thank you, you can always apply wax on any finish, it doesn't matter. It provides extra protection and beeswax smells beautiful. I'll check your vid :)
Thank you John, the double roof construction makes for a great insulation as shown on the video. There's no need to place additional insulation since the ''door'' is always open.

Excellent work, Andrea! Very nice looking dog house. I love the color of the wood.

Guanacaste on the other side is exotic wood, beautiful, but irritates the respiration and it makes you sneeze with nose running...heavy stuff. Once finished it doesn't produce any effect.
Very nicely done, Andrea! Great workmanship!
Rick French Thanks Rich!
Nice job. With the tools like this, it must be joy to build up anything made of wood :-)
Hi Martin,
It sure is nice to have tools, however I started my woodworking with a drill and jigsaw (no those weren't good quality tools). Little by little you get a lot of tools as you go, it's a slow but very enjoyable process. Check out Stumpy Numbs on YT. He hadn't had almost any woodworking tools when he started!

Well done and very well recorded. I also appreciate how you show and own your mistakes. We all do mistakes. Good job.
Thank you very much!
By making (and showing) mistakes you/I learn a lot!
What a beautiful doghouse! Any dog would be proud to call it home. Heck, with the tiny house movement here in America you could almost rent it out to people for weekends, it's that nice!. :-) Thanks for sharing.
notsunkyet Thank you very much on the nice comment!
Well done Andrea! It turned out well. There's something about you man... your projects just seem to have a soul that is uniquely your own.
Ed Draper Thank you very much for the kind words, Ed.
Very beautiful! And most important that it has good isolation and the dog house doesn't warm up in summer and keep warm in autumn and winter.
Sandra Bušaite Thank you Sandra.
Love the time and care you put into each project. As always great job!!!
Thank you very much!
Great job the house looks really beautiful .thumbs up

Man that came out just beautiful! I don't know much about finishing, but I want to try this sequence now.
Thanks for doing these videos, great work!
Thank you Adam!

Good info, thanks. I'm a bit surprised the mineral oil doesn't negatively affect the lacquer, too. I have seen it done though!
Awesome work Andrea!
Mike Merzke Thanks Mike!
Great dog house, the cleaning and maintenance should be really easy! Great work Andrea, it is notable the work and effort making the video!

It's beautiful - a work of art. I'm looking for some type of insulated dog house that can house a tough, but loved dog outside in a Midwestern winter - something insulated that will keep the dog dry and warm.
Midwestern winter? Sounds cold.
Well depends on the species of your dog but I would keep mine in the garage during very cold months. Cheers
This amazing dog house .I loved. Greetings from Brazil

Beautiful dog house! I love your videos man, keep it up!
Scrap wood City Thank you very much!

Very well built, but did the dog like it?. like all your videos well presented and a nice finnish
+John Fithian-Franks Thank you very much John, I missed your comments. The dog (Chihuahua) loved it!
That looks amazing Andrea. I'd almost be afraid to let a dog in it. lol. What is the bees wax and oil mix that you use? It makes the finish look great.

Thanks!
It's 55 lbs (25kg).
All the specs are in the description.
Cheers!
Beautiful work...wow that is going to be one spoiled dog haha
The Chihuahua’s owner is thrilled 😁
Now I’m making a bunk bed for two schnauzers. Cheers 🍻
Andrea, very nice work with minimal tools! Obvious question though... ¿donde esta el perro? :D

Great job. Love how you done the roof
Thank you 😊

+Bedro Muhsin Thanks Bedro!
looks like you finally had a table saw for some of this video.
Actually I borrowed it a long time ago, I started doing this project in August 2014 and didn't finish it at the time.
oh i see. i was hoping that you got a table saw.
I would like to have one but a really good one, until then it's a circular saw mounted under the table...still does a better job than this portable one. Anyways I still miss a dedicated space to work :)
LOL! Thanks *****
***** yes I can see now, just don't drop the soap :)
Great looking dog house Andrea. But where is your dog?
Darbin Orvar Thank you Linn!
I don't own a dog yet, but the doghouse is for sale

Cool job, Andrea!
I liked the way you applied your signature! How could I do that? What is the stuff?

That is going to be one lucky dog. Very nice work and finish for a dog house. I think it was funny that you had english subtitles on your video, do people have a problem understanding you ? because I never have.
Have a good one.

Nice doghouse,one question......does that leak when it rains????
No, the roof can't leak as it has the shingle type layering so it's rain impervious.
The wood will absorb water but the roof angle and gravitation work in a way that water just slides off.
Cheers!
Andrea Arzensek aha i see,nice build and skillful too,thanks again for the share
StreetKingz4Life Thank you for watching, sharing the video helps a lot! Cheers!

Thanks. Laser printed image (text) and then transferred to wood with thinner, it's very easy to do. try it with a piece of newspaper and thinner to wood first to get the feel.
I want one of those that's bad
Your doghouse is WAY too beautiful for a dog.
***** Thank you very much Alain! Your comment is very much appreciated! I love your videos!
Awesome dog house,but u could made a system to open the roof like cabrio cars do.
Thanks, cool idea!
Excellent...!

It provides extra protection and beeswax smells beautiful.
I'll check your vid :)
Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho. Qual sua nacionalidade?
Hola Osmar, soy de Croacia!
dam that's a lot of work how much would that peace of work sale for
I sold it for about 200 USD, which was fair price for Mexico.
Looks great! But where is the insulation part...??
Thank you John, the double roof construction makes for a great insulation as shown on the video.
There's no need to place additional insulation since the ''door'' is always open.
This doghouse did for "I'm in the doghouse" idiom the same thing as modern children rooms did for the " Go to your room! "
