I built a chair for dogs that always want to sit next to you

- My dog would really prefer it if I turned myself into a dog bed. Since I'm not too keen on that project, I built her a chair instead. Thanks KiwiCo for sponsoring this video: kiwico.com/simone50 Check out their kits if you know a kiddo that likes building things.
Also, thanks to all of you who have made Scraps fan art. It fills a dog owner's heart like nothing else. The pieces that I hung on the chair were by:

Seeing lots of people asking about the brass song around the 12 min mark! It's this one: • The Westerlies: "Dover... - Наука та технологія
I love that she called her brother an “ambitious prototype“.
My identical twin calls me “spare parts”, and I call her “stunt double”.
I thought she said “a vicious prototype”. Haha this makes more sense thanks friend.
Imagine if she needs a kidney and you're like "nah"
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS COMMENT, I NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD
I must share this comment with my partner and their twin. They are either going to love it or throw something at me. Or both.
Spare parts and stunt double 😂😂😂 I NEEDED that good laugh this morning! Thank you ❤️
This channel has gone from "shitty robots" to "dog-mom with a CNC machine" and I am so here for it.
Me too! This was adorable
The channel was already perfect but dogs can make anything perfecter.
why is this not the top comment? the evolution of simone gertz is a wonderful wonderful thing to behold. keep going girl
And somehow... it felt like a completely natural progression
we love G R O W T H
making a chair for your standing desk is such a mood
Here are all the moments of Scraps being extremely cute, for your convenience

All hail Commander Scraps
This is a solution to a problem that I wish I had.
Edit: Could you please build out another space on the other side of the bench for me?
Adopt a cat and name him/her Schrödinger ;-)
I so miss having a pet, but my roommates won't have it. A minute of silence for us.
I just assumed that's also your problem.
To bend the piece, you need to steam it. Hold the area to bend over a hot pan of boiling water for about 10 minutes then bend slowly. And bend it in small sections for the entire area. Then do it again and again very slowly. You will have to steam it a couple of times of times. It will take over an hour to do it.
Solution: doggo
Diana, why don't you get yourself a cute little doggie companion? They are really great, and the best friend you'll ever have!
I just love how Simone went from Queen of Shitty Robots to Empress of Overly Specific IKEA. I love furniture making way too much for someone that has never touched a table saw.
Tailbone tailbone sounds like a really good UA-camr channel!
romantisicm?😑
Honestly tho
@@alias_peanut of what?
Empress of overly specific ikea 😂
In all the years I’ve watched this channel, in all the times I’ve rewatched this video, in all my infinite knowledge and power, it has taken me until just now to realise that scraps is missing a leg.
I was looking at the chair build with Laura like "huh, that dog has the most cartoon/video game walk I've seen... Is she three legged? Oh!"
Me too!❤️
Including the video when she created exoskeleton for the dog?
My dad was the oldest of 10 siblings and he had more than two dozen nieces and nephews. Your doggy chair reminds me of the rocking chair my dad built for my grandparents. The armrests were child sized seats with backrests. It was the perfect chair for reading Dr. Seuss books with Grandpa.
So how many cousins do you have? 25?
My dog deserves someone this crafty but has me instead 💀
Yup yup... i feel you
Never felt so connected to a UA-cam comment before.
Dogs don't judge. Go for it!
I think most dogs lucked out in not having Simone as their owner.
@@nabaaeyddan7565 What are you trying to say? The way that's written sound pretty ignorant. I assume that's not intended.
"age: 1 legs: 3", ok you need to do this for every guest in the future, I need to know everyone's age and number of legs 😂😂
i was just about to say this, like 10s in and already amazing
Totally, I feel like ones' number of legs is worthy of note to accommodate everyone except spiders
I’m such a dumbass I thought the text said “3 egs” and I decided it must be meant to say “eggs” which did nothing for my confusion 🤦♀️
Lol
@@sparxso9122 well Scraps is a good egg in my book lol😂
Did you notice a big difference in Scraps' appreciation when you filled in the risers? One of my family dogs really did NOT like stairs with open risers, especially as she got older. Closed risers were fine, but I think she was afraid of falling through the open ones.
“Domino joiners are a lot like humans in that regard. As in, they are exceeding easy to break!”
*Proceeds to stare into our souls as if she knows our every weak point...*
As someone who has 2+ cats that aggressively scream at you for a lap to sit on and are happy to stay there until your legs are full of blood clots, this is a great project
Hi Simone! Your dog might eventually appreciate some sort of no-slip substance (carpet, nonslip strips, rubber, etc) glued onto the steps too. My dog has a bad leg and it has really improved her confidence to have that extra traction as she ages.
Really hope something gets added so Scraps can grip better
Great point, traction is a problem for my aging dog jumping off of vinyl plank flooring onto the bed, ok for now
Came here for this
My senior cat would absolutely love this. She's not a lap cat but instead likes to snuggle against my side, which is obviously kinda hard sometimes. My mom's papillon puppy would love it, too!
Engineering pet content might be my new favorite niche. This is super wholesome and interesting, thank you Simone :)
I really like how Simone shows us the uncomfortable parts of making things and not just the finished product
i love it!!
I really like that aspect in EvanAndKatelyn's videos, and I'm glad I found another DIY/builder type youtuber who gives me a similar vibe! Also a bonus that they all have their pets in their videos at times 😂
I just found Simone about right now and this is her second video I've watched and I will definitely be sticking around!
It's called "authenticity", a rare quality worth admiring.
@@mattahlschwede4810 indeed
that's the hardest part of making videos! it's super maddening to film yourself when you're frustrated by a problem and have to solve it while capturing the moment.
I think Jenna Marbles would really appreciate this chair. So she doesn’t have to be a ladder anymore. Thanks for the great vid Simone
Hers would have to accommodate her 3 little dogs though lol
@@aristogatos1o1 and one big one, lol. I miss our queen!
God I miss her
She wouuuuld omg !!!!! I miss her so much ! 🥺💙
@@aleexelou haven't been following her for a long time how is she?!?!!!
Reminds me of the old Victorian “Courting chair” where the seats were opposite so they could be face to face to talk but the arm rest was shared in the middle to keep the two young people apart.
YOU GOTTA LOVE THE PUPPIES!
Simone is the kind of person I want to be when I grow up.
I'm 25.
Me too. But I’m 34. There’s time.... right?
same
I'm 29, I'm beginning to think it's never going to happen.
@@victoriafurtado5856 36 here! Same as as Harrison Ford when he was in the first Star Wars movie, which launched his film career.
So if he can do that (^ it’s my current “I’m not that old yet” line I tell myself), we can still grow up to be Simone (:
i.. i was thinking the same thing and i'm also 25
As a woman who designs small things for my cats to make our house a more equal and friendly place, this is the level of confident and skilled I want to become someday. I just got my first saw and used it without injuring myself last month. I'm on my way.
Hell yeah!!!
Love this!
Congrats! I'm sure your cats are very happy furry babies.
Today a saw, a few years from now your very own CNCelia. You'll get there! :)
keep on going Evalynn!!!
I absolutely love this idea! I have multiple pets and they're constantly jumping on me while I'm at my desk. My only personal note would be that there is no support to the backrest, so I wouldn't be able to sit in it for very long. But I can also see how that would be difficult to add without messing with the whole design. If this came on the market, I would definitely buy one
I don't think it would mess with it too much. The railing for the stairs and the railing for her seat back and I think also Scarps' seat back are all technically separate. I think.
I think that I would add something to provide traction on the step surfaces. Either a sanded paint or some sort of no-slip product. Love this project!
Maybe just a little carpet on each step.
I believe you were looking for “Grand Opening Chair-imony”
Chairimony is SO GOOD lmaoo
I love how Simone comes up with the most random things but it's fun to watch her make it every time!
I'm just happy you're here for it 🥲
I broke my feet today because I kicked my computer because someone commented that my videos are bad! I hate unjustified criticism. Please wish me a speedy recovery, dear na
@@simonegiertz ALWAYS xD Never would miss it!
my favorite part was when even google was like "if we cant find it, no one can. you know what to do"
@@simonegiertz We'll always be there for you.
"if there's anything you value it's your sovereignty" legit cracked up laughing
The positivity here is heartwarming. Thank you, everyone!
As a Professional Dog Trainer who runs online classes...my dog's would love this! The only problem is that they're too big for this design...but if I had a smaller dog, 100% would purchase. Also, when you asked for a nose touch and properly marked her response, I almost died of happiness. We need more positive dog content out there! ❤️❤️❤️
We try! Scraps is very happy to work for treats. We're taking agility classes too!
@@simonegiertz Agility is going to be so fun for you both! I competed with my childhood dog growing up. Best piece of advice, make sure to do a solid 10-15 minutes of active moving before hitting those jumps! And 5-10 minutes of cool down between each run, no matter how long the run was. *Sorry the dog trainer in me can't help but give unsolicited advice...it's a blessing and a curse...😅*
@@simonegiertz 10 out of 10 for perfectly groomed dog ! Especially the nails !
@@simonegiertz that’s so cool! I do agility with my Pom and it’s very rewarding - everywhere we go he offers to jump over and under things now
@@simonegiertz this would be perfect for the kids joe Biden is keeping at the border!
Imagine if a St. Bernard tried to hop on there ;)
Would only need a larger chair. It would be amazing.
That would be a real test of the structural integrity.
If the alternative is the St Bernard sitting on your lap I don't think you have much of a choice
My brother-in-law had a German shepherd/ husky mix that was like 120+ pound dog. He liked to think he was a lap dog... 🤣
mine would try so hard
Love the chaotic chill vibes of your vids. The music you play when you are doing a build montage reminds me of a kids show I used to watch when I was a kid called Oswald. The music in that show truly put me at peace with the world and seeing a fellow female maker creating useful art with such immaculate vibes makes me so happy.
Thanks for the content you do Simone and keep on keeping on💜.
The horn music (The Westerlies). Amazing,
Very late reply here because I just found your channel.
Sadly, we lost our little dog to cancer last year, but I know she would have totally loved this chair. She often wanted to sit on my husband's lap when he was using his laptop, and it was uncomfortable for both of them.
You are just so darn clever!
A standing desk that you have tall stools to sit at is the most simone thing ever.
Well, in her defense; the desk is still standing...
@@Mr_Right "I have my standing desk and my three collapsed desks." is a sentence i expect simone to say.
And a footrest because the floor is too far down.
You're so imaginative when designing things
@@kc9415 I KNOW RIGHT I SAW THIS PERSON LIKE 5 TIMES TODAY
@@lucyzeng7256 Me too! Maybe more
I am so obsessed with how cute this chair is. It has somehow entirely sold me on standing desks, sitting in a stool to work, and also this particular product. Quirky, niche furniture is such a vibe I love it.
We have a dog about half the size of Scraps who loves to sit in our laps while we game at our computers. This is such a loving and clever solution!
Simone: "For some reason, I decided to paint the chair in this kind of..."
Me: "Sage green!"
Simone: "Moldy vomit color?"
Me: "Old school corridor green"
hospital furniture green is where my head went!
I'd say "Chernobyl 80's state-provided depression-green"
Me: pretty foggy forest green! Oh.. ok
I was like “..... well way to make it sound worse than it is”
i saw the video thumbnail and thought, "oh, my old dog puppers wouldve loved this." then i noticed that your dog, like puppers, only has three legs and now im crying just a bit
I think my pup would have loved this. His little dog house looked something like this with a little balcony too. I would definitely buy the needy dog chair if he was still around.
Simone is so cool, that if she did all that she does and didn’t publish it on UA-cam, it would be a disservice to humanity.
Thanks for all the videos.
Simone: paints the chair a very trendy sage green colour
also Simone: so I painted it this moldy vomit colour...
I was in the middle of exclaming that it was a pretty colour when she said that XD
I need one. 😳 Can’t imagine how much more I’d get done if I was constantly picking up and putting back down my little Furpunzel every 10 minutes.
FURPUNZEL 😭😭😭💜
Furpunzel is the cutest way to call a dog. I might steal it.
and now I know why I was recommended this video! Hey Sarah! Zuki is way to big for this and I'm still trying to convince her that cuddling with me is a good thing. It was fun to watch though.
Yes!!! Please market!!
Props to you for not forcing your dog to do something they're unsure of 😭 you utilized treats and let them decide instead of just scooping and plopping.
Simone's videos are wonderful, funny--and recently, creative in their production values.
So it's not just her personality and projects that attract me, but also the video productions themselves. It's become *impossible* not to love her.
I love that this channel went from "Simone builds shitty robots" to "Simone makes me want to buy a CNC machine so I too can build my dreams"
13:55
me: oh that’s a pretty seafoam green color!
simone: so i decided to paint it this *moldy vomit color*
Same, I was like "ahhh, so pretty, I love that colour", then... dang. :D
It reminds me of Frankie Stein's skin color
I need this chair for my 3 lb Yorkie named Dexter… he sits with me at my office and my nail salon everyday all day, but he sits behind me, so I’ve learned to sit at the edge of my chair so I don’t squish him. 😂 I’ve done this for 8.5 years. I’d love this chair! I need this chair!!!
Crying over just the dogs pure excitement
I think it could use a back cushion for the human but I would LOVE this for my dog 😍
And some anti-slip surface like carpet or yoga mat for the stair treads for the pup.
Would love this for my cats. My dog is a bit too big for this, maybe it'd work for my old dog.
i need this for my todler!
Simone, the queen of teaching us all new skills: "It might mean I have to learn a new skill, which I'd rather avoid."
I love this! This is the typical life of a small dog owner right here. Totally loved this video and the end product, and more importantly that the pup loved it! I gotta say though, I think black fabric for the cushion would’ve been the best bet, but that can easily be changed.
For a white dog, I think black would not be idea. The dog hair is too visible.
I'm so glad that you build things that make you and Scraps happy. You rock Simone!
I don’t own a small dog, but the clip of you hammering through the prototype curve piece alone makes this worth a watch. 10/10
I don't even own a dog but I'm still watching
"ambitious prototype" ok in stealing that as a nickname for my older twin sister😂😂
Both of you are prototypes, you born on the same day
I'm going to use it on my 13 years older brother, who is a civil engineer...
And I'll call my 10 years older Sister a 0-series pre-production model XD
@@fadel_rama she's 4 minutes older than me, so my mum very quickly worked out the kinks in production lol😂
@@bryonymason3104 Launch day patch
@@bryonymason3104 your mom is wild for testing in production like that. shes braver than me for sure lol
I lost my Miniature Fox Terrier a little over a year ago, but this (with a few minor modifications) is something that she would have loved. She always wanted to be near me and the closest I had was "on my lap", or on a blanket on the floor next to me.... I have been following you for a few years Simone and I always look forward to your content!
Absolutely brilliant 🤩 love the final design .. you are a crazy genius Simone with scraps as your trusty and equally crazy sidekick 😊
Simone: "This video is sponsored by KiwiCo, which lets you learn awesome new skills."
Also Simone, ten seconds later: "Learning is for suckers."
That's why she has patreon, for when her sponsors leave.
This is great for pets who DON'T want to sit on your lap, but want to be near. So perfect for my cat, she fidgets a lot and doesn't like to sit on really any ones lap but with sit beside you on a couch and butt head you for pets.
Thank you for the serotonin and blessing us with Scraps footage. 🥰 that chair is genius.
Ohhh, what a happy little tri-pawed.
Is it just me or does everyone else get a peaceful feeling from watching Simone's videos?
I discovered her channel after the lockdown began in Italy and I watched every video of the channel exactly because how smart, funny and peaceful she is!
It's the vibe I come here for
I get a peaceful feeling just noticing that she has posted a new video! Even BEFORE watching any of it. :)
'It's the Ever Given stuck in my office canal' 😂😂
Your sense of humour is absolutely great. I haven't laughed so much in a long time. Thanks for the cheering up, I really needed it just now.
The chair is amazing and it was a genius move to turn those stairs into storage draws 👍
I was totally expecting you to transition into an ad for skillshare in the middle of the video haha.
You're amazing 👍 I cant help but laugh when I see everything falling apart, it's just like whenever I try a DIY project.
She's the best
@@DyslexicMitochondria Omg Hi!!! I watch ur videos. I absolutely LOVE ur channeI. Its so underrated
"A really ambitious prototype... which is also what I call my older brother"
I am the overly ambitious prototype in my family. I accept this moniker.
Love the creative stuff you put together and how passionate you are about it ❤️
I like that you keep all parts in the final video, frustration and cussing are all valid. Kudos.
I can totally see my cat using this...
...as their throne xD
My cat would sit in the nook just to swat at/nibble on my ankles.
as they should
My cat would claim the human side as his own.
Nah it would probably use it as a ladder to your keyboard to assert dominance
meow! back to work you lackey!
As a person with two needy cats who always want to be sitting on my keyboard when I'm working, this is a great product.
this will in fact not stop cats in any way, I would recommend making a platform topped with plexiglass and putting that overtop of the keyboard. That way you can type, and they can continue trying to monopolize your attention.
I think cats like the fact that different keys give different amounts, like one of those mattresses with the individual pockets for springs. A keyboard-based cat-bed design would probably do quite well.
I have a solution get something similar to this but put a random on top then they have there own keyboard
My cat always waits around until I move from the chair, then she just straight up steals my spot and makes me feel guilty about having to move her off again.. luckily I know her weakness ... place an empty box on the floor nearby and she is powerless to resist going for a look inside 👌
@@atreeintheforest sounds like you need a sofa in place of that chair. Room for you both!
I actually like that it's a solid piece of furniture. It's furniture in its own right.
I love you so much Simone! Can't wait til I graduate with my engineering degree and can start making unnecessarily ambitious things myself! You're so inspirational, thanks for making shitty robots and cool dog friendly office chair contraptions for us to see!
This is exactly what I needed right now. Thank you.

I can’t let my dog see this, she is NOT small but she still has an unrelenting need to constantly be sitting with at least 25% of her body on me
My dog is the size of my desk - if I made one of these it’d have to be huge

I Googled this a few months ago - my dog is SO needy and the couch where I’m currently working makes me sleepy. I also saw no results. I’d LOVE this!
I just loved your reactions to the wood braking You are AWESOME Simone!!!

Simone, you’re just amazing.
Jenna Marbles: becomes dog stairs
@@MeganBennett1588 holy shot. I just realised she’s not Jenna marbles and they’re different. 😳
This needs to become a t-shirt,
Watching you work reminds me of my third grade project in Mrs Murphy's class. All the other kids picked some sort of art or craft that they could do on their desk. I decided I wanted to build a book shelf for all my library books. Mrs Murphy got me the wood, a hand saw, a hammer, glue, and nails. She supported me in designing and building it. She showed me how to saw and glue wood, and how to hammer nails. She had me do the work, patiently holding things for me. It was crooked and uneven, but I thought it was beautiful. all that was left was to apply finish. I didn't want to cover the natural wood with paint. Someone suggested going to the high school shop to see if they had something. I did so, and a nice well meaning young man said he would help me. He said, "hey it's a bit crooked, let me just fix it for you" he then proceeded to dis-assemble, re-cut, sand, and assemble my book shelf, then applied lacquer. In the end, I looked at what was a nice shelf, but it was not mine any more. I didn't know how to express how I liked how I had done it.
I like how you make what you want. While it is often fun to learn new skills, I hope you don't worry about how others would do it when you find happiness in your own discovery. Thank you for sharing yourself, and the fun and frustrations of creation, with everyone.
the part where you've put together the final version of this chair made me feel so happy and safe for some reason, thanks
I didn't know I needed a "Make a different dog char every week channel" till just now. Wonderful.
"I feel like this video will only make sense for people with small pets who want to sit on their laps." Meanwhile, I have an 80-pound lab who thinks she's a lap dog 🙃
my daughters husky's are like that too.
how about a 200 pound english mastiff? :, ]
I've had a few Dobermanns in my time, and they're all lap dogs too.
Grew up with Great Danes and Irish Wolfhounds, can confirm. Who weighs more and who is taller is of no concern to a dog who wants to sit on your lap.
@@bittyb0t you poor soul
"Breaks thing"
Stares deeply for a minute
"Shrugs"
Wow, I so get that moment. Way too well.
Me too
Scraps is just the cutest. I esp loved her popping out of her travel bag in the chair video. And in general. Which is why I love seeing more of her here 😍
The editing and the music in these videos are so good - so well timed and executed!
I'm greatly enjoying the "Simone builds things for her adorable dog" series.
For folks asking, the song at 12:08 is "Dover" by Willem de Koch. For more brass tones, check out our channel or our records on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, etc!
pin this to the top!
Thanks!!
Thank you!
Thank you!! I knew it sounded familiar, this would have drove me crazy!
I Dig it!
Love how concept becomes reality in your work. You're not afraid to mess up or scrap a bad idea to make it better.
No scrap pun intended
You and your mom are amazing. I am in awe of your talents. In my era, girls never took shop in high school. I might have enjoyed it and learned not to be afraid of drills, sanders, etc.
"For people with small pets that what to sit on their lap" Watching this with a small dog on his lap. So.. This Will be a Product right?
Some carpet or similar on the steps should help. My dog is older and has a hard time not slipping on painted wooden steps.
Yes, I was thinking of those "stick on" stair grips. Would probably need to be cut down to size.
Dogs see in blue and yellow. I want your workshop. If I had a CNC setup I could build everything in the world. Thanks for your enthusiasm and humor!
definitely a big NEED!! pls upload the plans, u would make so many human-pet-couples sooooo happy! 🤩
The ad clock is super effective! I don't feel like I'm stranded in ad eternity so I just wrote this instead of skipping ahead. All of youtube should adopt this!
The boxes under the steps and the art really brought this all together
Love watching your videos! They keep giving me hope to keep moving forward with my silly projects! Thank you so much I love sharing your content with other female engineers/builders in my life!!
Wow, I love it, well done. That is 1 very happy & lucky dog
I just resorted to giving the cat her own chair so she could sit next to me. Now you're making me rethink my choices...
Don't worry. I got my cats a nursing bed that you can attach to your bed to nurse your baby at night. Because they do insist on sleeping on my pillow, I just got a side sleeper pillow that's now spilling into that attachment. I am very lucky that my partner accepts me as I am. 😂
I'm honored to have had my fanart featured on this delightful project!! :'D (I drew the pic of Scraps on the left at 15:33)
Cool! Did she ask for permission?
That’s so cool, and your artwork is so lovely!
@Lord Kira. Edited for clarity. I meant whether she asked for permission before using their work.
@Lord Kira. Aaah, I can sort of see where you got that. Good I cleared that up
She credited in description
I love your content and saw this when it first came out.I just googled "Chair dogs can sit in with you" for my puppies and I and it brought me back to this. I feel like you should capitalize on the momentum!
P.S Your videos made me realize how much I was holding myself back (to create and try) and have been a true inspiration for me. I think you are freaking rad, that is all.
You and Scraps are just the best, Simone. Nice work!
"I think she'd prefer it if I was taxidermied and turned into a bed. But since I'm not super keen on that project..." But you've got to admit that it would make for an epic video.
Maybe a compromise could be a full-size mold-replica of Simone? Kind of like the one Adam Savage have of himself
I mean she did have Simtwo and we saw how that went...
oh the things we do for likes, amirite
Allow me to recommend "the brain scoop". They do mark videos with particularly gross content, so use your judgment.
