Maple 3-in-1 Crib

Great looking crib! You should be proud of a job will done. Enjoyed seeing the pictures of a work in progress. Thanks for posting

That looks awesome, Jason. I can’t imagine how proud you’ll be when you see your little boy sleeping in that crib. You’ve got some long nights ahead of you, but I guarantee they’ll be the most rewarding of your life!

Great job, Jason!

I’m building the same crib for my grandson, due around May 1. All of the construction is finished and I’m working on the finish now.

Nice job Jason. We had our first child 16 months ago and before hand I build a changing table and bookshelf. You tackle the ultimate project for a new arrival. I plan on making her a big girls bed when she’s ready.

I love the choice mix of colors in your project. Great job and enjoy that little one.

What a wonderful job Jason, Great job! I have been looking at building one of these cribs as my wife and I are expecting in about 7 months. I was wondering If anyone one would be able to scan and email a copy of the plans. I looked into ordering a copy of the magazine but it takes like 8 weeks for them to ship to canada.
Could anyone help me out?
Thanks

First, I have to say, that’s a fantastic looking crib. Great work!

My sister-in-law is early in her second trimester and I’ve floated the idea of making them a crib. This would be far and away the most complex project I’ve worked on to date, but I’d love to be able to build them something that will last and didn’t come from a ‘big box’. Hopefully someone can answer a few questions about this build that will help me decide if I can tackle this project.

1. What level would you rate this project on a scale of 1 to 10. One being never held a saw, ten being Norm.
2. Any “must have” tools or jigs for this project? I’ve got a little Shopmaster table saw, a jigsaw, a chop saw, and I’ll be purchasing a router shortly.
3. How long did this take to build?
4. Any estimate on cost of materials? I’m guessing I’d build it out of Oak? I don’t have a jointer or thickness planer, so I’d be relying on a lumber supplier to get dimensioned lumber.
5. Looks like the height of the mattress is adjustable. Can someone confirm that?

I know that’s a lot of questions, but I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
