It’s finally done! Here’s the crib I built for my third child, second son, Nathan. It’s been getting more and more difficult to find shop time these days, which is why he’s getting his crib after his 3 mos. “birthday”.
This is my second Heirloom Crib from the Wood plans. I really like these cribs and using commercial plans simplify the process—which is especially helpful when time’s so limited. I often wonder just how many of these have been built—we could probably find a few dozen of them here at LJ alone.
I made a few modifications so that it would better match the dresser I designed and built for him.
If you’re interested, I've blogged about the build here at LJs.
Here’s the matching dresser’s project page:
Thanks for looking!

Great job. I’ve always wanted to build one when my girls were newborns. That is a lot of work. I admire you. My expirence with the mechanism and hardware is that it is expensive, is that still the case?

The hardware cost $115 + for my address the “special shipping” was only $20. Also, unlike the last time we purchased the hardware kit, this package includes a printout of the plans from the original Wood magazine article. I already had the plans, but if you don’t, there’s no need to spend the $15 to purchase them separately.
