Project Nr 3: Feeding box for Wolf Phase 3

After putting on a second layer and letting it dry overnight I put the bowls in the feeding box. Ready to put to work!

Looks like he likes it!

This was not that difficult after all. I think I'm gonne make one more to put at my girlfriends home, in case we (Wolf and I) stay over there for the weekends.

I decided to finish the box anyway. Considering it to be a prototype ;-)

For the finish on the wood, I used butchers oil. The same oil is used on cutting boards in your kitchen.

Probably, I'll put an extra finishing touch on it somewhere this week. (little busy...)

Poor Wolf... ;-) observing and waiting to try out his new feeding box.

Probably seen my hallway in previous posts? Result of Wolf spilling water and food by kicking his bowls over from time to time...

I want to make a box just like this:

Finding the right pieces of wood wasn't really a problem. Just routing the hole...

Since I wanted to use my router to make a round edged circular hole to fit the bowls, I tought I could use the compass that was delivered with the router. Since the diameter of the hole is smaller than the diameter of the baseplate of my router, I had a little technical issue.

No experience with a router at all, I tried to "eye-ball" it, following a drawn cirle on the top blade of the box...
