DIY Dog Food Station

I can't wait till our little goldendoodle is ready to come home! We've already gone to a few pet stores to prepare. I don't like clutter and mess, so I wanted a creative way to store dog food and have a raised feeding station. I looked up on Pinterest for ideas, then went to Walmart and Lowes for supplies! I first bought a storage container - 16 3/4" L x 11 1/8" W x 7 " H - 16 Qt. or 15 L. I bought a taller one at first, but didn't think about the food bowls sitting on top. I then went to Lowe's and bought 3 1x4x8 wood boards, 1/2 pint of wood stain (dark walnut), 2 count 2 inch. brass hinges, and wood glue. I had extra wood for the top (just a 4 ft x 4 ft wood board, I'd buy a small one that works for the top) and 1 inch. screws at home.

Measurements: I cut 9, 18 in wood boards with my Ryobi handsaw. I then glued the three wood boards together. These 18 inch W x 10.5 inch H will be used as the front, back and bottom of the dog food station. I then cut 6, 12inch. wood boards and glued them together. These will be for the sides.

Next, I had a wood board lying around so I cut it to fit the dimensions for the top - 18" W X 13.5" H. I measures the diameter of the food bowls, drew two circles, and then used my Ryobi scroll saw to cut them out.

Next, I glued the box together using Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue. After it dried, I drilled screws to the front and back of the dog food station and storage. You can use drill pocket holes using a Kreg Jig R3 for a better bond.

I then added the hinges to the top, and screwed them on to connect to the box. 
I made sure the storage container fit, then I stained the wood. I sprayed a clear protective coat in case our pup (or me) gets water on the wood.

Have no clue what I did or what I'm talking about? Don't worry, Try one of these Home Depot Do-It-Herself classes: www.homedepot.com; July 21, 2016 there is a DOG FEEDER class!!! I wish I saw it before I built this ;). 

Thank you for stopping by!

As a thought experiment consider that dogs live in the moment. every moment. Humans do yoga and meditation for years to try and achieve 5 minutes worth of being truly in the moment.

Orijen Regional Red Dog Food is rich with meat (85%) and protein (38%). It contains same nutrition facts, which is required for wolf. Food requirement of dogs and wolves are similar, because they’re relatives. Different breeding have been produced from the very beginning, so there are many different looks of wolves. But internal system of wolves and dogs are same till today. Inclusion of unmatched fresh meat is and variety in it.

I was reading your article and wondered if you had considered creating an ebook on this subject. Your writing would sell it fast. You have a lot of writing talent.
