Is wood a good building material for this project?

Hi all! I'm making blueprints to build a shelter for my stray kitty I'm trying to care for. I hope to be able to take her inside the near future. She's quite shy so I wanted to make a shelter so she and I can encounter each other more. I want to make the shelter out of wood so it can be nice and durable. It's also gonna double as a stand for plants on the top. It's supposed to be super incognito since I wanna make sure no one knows she's in there so she stays safe. Wood is good for insulating the warmth but I'm worried it'll insulate too much heat. I live in TX so it gets absurdly hot. Does anyone know if wood is a bad idea for a shelter? I'm planning to install a thermometer so I can make sure it's never too hot or cold. I also am gonna get some tile to put in for the hotter weather and a cooling mat.I would love any ideas or suggestions. Thank you!

Waterfall sofa table help

Hello folks! I am pretty new to woodworking and am trying my hands on creating a sofa table from the scrap wood I got from around my neighborhood. The design is pretty close to the attached picture. I am using two flooring planks joined together as the top surface, with 1/2” melamine boards pinned to the bottom to get width and support the floor joints. My first iteration was just to butt joints the top and the legs with nails and as you can guess it was pretty flimsy and weak. I have taken it apart now and am planning to cut miters with my circular saw at the corner and join the legs with glue and dowels. My question, is that enough to support the top and prevent the table from wiggling? Do I also need to support the top from sagging by attaching a backing board or plank along the length? Do I need corner supports as well? The table would be hidden behind the couch and the wall and would not have too much stuff. Just cables and things. Rough dimensions: 48”x24”x1.5” Thank you!

Back to Hogwarts Day @ Lego Store

Just built the Harry Potter staff at the Lego store in Amsterdam. Cheated a bit for some extra magic power 😁

Today was a success!

All I really wanted out this batch was the X-men minifigs. Lucky for me someone had already cracked most the boxes and I could easily peek inside. I wouldn’t ever do it, but y’all more than welcome to, helped me a ton!
