Squeaky Cradle

Paraffin wax might help, if you could find a way to work in the tight spot.

stanley, try standing on end and apply generous amounts of murhy’s orange oil to the pivot. By the way I really like all your projects, do you have a picture of this cradle?

Silicone should work, if you can get it down into the part. If you have the small tube that usually comes with silicone it will pin-point the spray better. If there is a way to position the cradle so the silicone will run down in to the parts it would help. It’s pretty thin, so it should run easily.

Any kind of wax would work if you could disassemble it, but I don’t know how you could get it where you need it at this point.

All of the above and I will add bees wax…

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

Just spray some Pam(the none stick cooking aid) at the joint. You might have to repeat.

Silicone has a habit of staying where it is put. Youi might go to a gun shop and get some in a syringe with a pints tip to squirt in there.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I do think okwoodshop suggestion of turning the cradle on it’s end so set the oil work down into the pivot. I may try this first, I will have to make sure I have enough support on the other end of the cardle so it will not put too much stress on the other pivot.
I will try to get some pictures posted soon.
Again thanks everyone.
