Member Project: Dog food and water table
Stats Made by: Jess Status: Finished Tools used: Mitre Saw, Powered Screwdriver, Trepanning Tool (new!), Polyurethane spray varnish Description My old dog is getting a bit unsteady, and often ends up sitting on her food and water bowls. The existing tray (which I added legs to a while ago) has gotten all soggy, and lost its bordering edge, so the water bowl ends up all over the floor. The replacement needed to be more waterproof, taller, and keep the bowls in place, even when lent or sat on. I decided to cut circles out of the new top to sit the bowls in, and spray the whole thing with a waterproof varnish. Trepanning Tool The whole thing is made out of scrap wood from the Makerspace wood store. To make the circles I added a new tool to the space, a Trepanning Tool, which is attached to a powered drill and cuts a hole using two extra blades. It looks quite scary when spinning and takes a while to cut through the 6mm plywood. (Josh helped with this bit!) The rest is assembled with legs cut to size and screwed together. The spray was the applied, which was dryish in an hour,
