How To Make Dog Stairs | DIY Woodworking

- Today I'm going to be making a custom set of dog stairs out of 5/4 poplar. These may be a bit overbuilt for the size of the dog that will be using them, and I probably could of used cheaper materials, but I wanted these to last for years and years. I'm really happy with the way that these turned out!

thanks for making this! after searching for hours for well made and sturdy dog stairs online, i'm on a journey to make my own dog stairs and this is so helpful! wish me luck, i have no idea what i'm doing :)
I have a set of plans available on my website that will help you along the way.
@@TwoBitWoodworks I’m interested
Nice job. This is what I was looking for as my little dog has gotten a little age and has slowed. He now needs help getting up onto his favorite chair.
I’m hope this will help!
Best dog stair video!
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it!
I was hoping there would be some shots of the dog using it! Nice job. 👍
I do have a shot, just didn’t use it in the video. Thanks for watching!
*going to Home Depot to buy some lumber*
Got definitely got some base ideas of what I need to do, thanks. Know its about a year late, but hope that shoulder is doing good. Take care.
Thanks so much, it’s doing good so far 👍🏻
I made mine with plywood. Stringers were all one piece. But then I sprayed some adhesive added some padding and Then got some scrap fabric and upholstered getting two handles on the side. I probably could’ve used some nonskid tread tape and I may do that on the next one. Love that you used biscuits I might consider that at some point since I’m new at woodworking
That sounds great! Thanks for watching!!
Interesting that you mixed up the grain direction - horizontal for treads and risers, and vertical for the stringers.
I'm going to be making some stairs with some pre-finished cabinet birch plywood, but having the stringers as a solid piece, cutting with the table saw and finishing the cuts with the jig saw.
I like working with poplar too - cuts very nicely.
I might need to build one someday for my future dog to save it for when he gets too old to jump on my bed
That’s a great idea!
Can we get a “I don’t have a whole warehouse or real experience” version
I was thinking the same thing , I think if I had a warehouse and experience I wouldn’t need to watch this video lol
Perfect
Thank you so much!!
nice job
Thank you!!
Whew, good thing I had my table saw, miter saw, biscuit joiner, router, sander, keg jig, drill... I'd hate to have to build this with limited tools like probably the vast majority of youtube viewers have. So happy the video applies to me. That was a close call!
This video isn’t a “build a project with minimal tools” type video. Everyone starts with no tools and builds them up over the years based on what tool they need for the project. Do you have to use a biscuit joiner, no, but I did because it’s another way to join boards. To do any woodworking project you will need some tools to straighten, join, sand, and finish.
How many times are you cutting these boards unnecessarily? Just measure it and do it once.
How do you figure out the size to cut the wood pcs??
I designed the size of the steps based on the bed and dog that I was building it for you. I have plans for sale on my website that you can scale up and down depending on your needs.
How do I do this with basic tools?
Can you just sell me the wood already cut and I’ll put it together? Lol
How many hours did this take?
I’m honestly not sure. I did this project a while ago. I will see if I can find my notes, but we’ve moved since this was built so chances are it’s in storage somewhere.
@@TwoBitWoodworks Roughly like 2 hours?
@@auntiesmarket4334 way more than that. All the wood was milled, cut, sanded, assembled, and had finish applied.
It's OK if you have the tools that man has
Looking more for info on tread and rise for steps for a large dog, I know how to assemble things. Rather useless video at least to me
Well thanks for watching anyway. 👍🏻
I will be building steps for my big dogs as well, I’m just going to make it a bit taller with wider steps, you can use this as a base and go from there.
