Hi,

My name is Stan, I am from Texas and my Son is expecting his first child and my first grandchild. I hope to somehow soak in some knowledge from all the fine folks on this site. My wife has talked me with building a crib, wish me luck!

Welcome to the forum, ! Stan many here have built cribs. Just post any question you might have and some of the esteemed members will assist and help.

My wife loves this one and wants me to give it a shot. She also wants a changing table. I have had no luck whatsoever finding plans for this. Any ideas?

Welcome Stan. I built a crib for my 1st great grandchild a few years back. My granddaughter wanted a chest-of-drawers / changing table for the baby's room. Basically just a chest-of-drawers and she used the top as a changing table. As the babies grew they were left with a dresser for their room.

I built a cradle I found in Virginia. Once I got started I met a guy from the consumer interest group in the area. He told me there were laws about the distance between slats on the cribs/craddles these days. So I decided to build the cradle desigh I found in Virginia.

One thing led to another and when I decided to put a dye on the walnut , my cat walked thru it and left the evidence. My wife told me to leave it there so people woud get a laugh.

Tool Box: Pine and others You can see more photos in the album if interested. Welcome to the forum. By the way I was a USAF flight instructor out in Wichita Falls at Sheppard AFB back in the 1970s

That’s a great idea, kids grow up quickly, too quickly!

Nice work, I like the touch the cat left, nice unexpected touch!

I’m retired from the Marine Corps and still working to support our Nation’s Veterans with the VA. Few more years and I will be dropping my pack for good!
