That's a Great looking crib!!! Truly a labor of love. 🙂

Are you going to put wheels on it?

By the way where do you buy your wood?

Re: crib build

ummmm stress test ?

doweled the slats from the top. Since some were wobbling hmmm not quite perfect assembly for the slats 🙁

Wanted to dowel it from the side but the groove wasnt deep enough to have enough of the slats go in for dowels

Grooved to match the baseboard

I buy at the local "Tablerias" here in Pasay. So far am not happy with what I get although price seems cheaper. I'll try Wilcon next time.

Re: crib build

I cheated with the stain.

After one thin coat of zar wipe-on tung oil and two coats of stain. I decided to thin the stain i have, its Konig, really thick stain. Then i painted it on !!! 🙂

Now it has a nice even color (more or less for the pine which is in red mahogany)

The rest is a stain mixture of 50/50 brown mahogany and wenge (pure black stain)

Re: crib build

Beeeutiful Bee!

I'd not be surprise if the wife gives you her blessing to buy a thickness planer 🙂 ... heck she might even give you one as present. Here's a suggestion: next project should be a diaper changing station.

Actually, what my fellow boatbuilders do is we take our families along when we go sailing , AND we call our wives our "Admirals".

Re: crib build

great news. my SWMBO didnt buy the thicknesser... but she did reimburse me the cost of the 3612c and 4 sheets of 3/4 marine ply, 2 sheets of 1/2 inch marine ply and 10pcs 2x4's and 12pcs 1 x 2's!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And i can buy the thicknesser if i want to.... which i dont want to at the moment because i still have to pay the baby's hospital bills 🙂

Life's good if you keep the Admiral happy
