Project Information
This is the crib I built last year for my son Sean.
As with the crib I built for my daughter, I can't claim credit for the design - this was built following published plans from Wood Magazine. It's the 3-in-1 crib plan. Nothing terribly fancy, but it serves its purpose. I mainly followed the plans but decided to use solid stock for the legs instead of the lamination as suggested.
Unfortunately I had no experience with RTA furniture and I did a poor job of drilling accurate holes for the barrel bolts that hold the whole thing together. This made it rather painful to assemble…but ultimately it all came together. Not to make excuses, but when your newborn son's still sleeping in your bedroom at 6mos., is it really that surprising that the project became a bit rushed in the end?
Mortissing the legs…
Bent wood lamination for the headboard
