A Crib From @#$!

I bet it is heavy! I like the design but you can tell it is architect frivolous. Beautiful job though.

Excellent!....too good to use as a crib….I can see what you mean about take the dough and run..heh….Glad I don’t have to put one of those together!

Agreed…Beautiful work !!!! Looks heavy as heck.

-- Don S.E. OK

Nice design, excellent work.

Your work is great.
The design is not only ugly but I would consider it to dangerous to put a child in. All those sharp corners and edges are going to hurt someone.

Beautiful work. I agree with Les, far too many corners for a baby to be in there safely, and far too many sharp edges to bang into when attending the little darling in the wee hours of the night :-)

You did an excellent job. I can’t imagine what a bear that thing must have been.

Beautiful crib, just gorgeous. It may be a beast but it looks very nice.

Hi Huclkleberry,
I think your achievement was above the call of duty, I wish I could have done as well. It is certainly unique and your craftsmanship allowed it to become an heirloom that the family will cherish forever. Whatever you were paid should have been doubled, congratulations. Jackass (Jack Keefe).

Nice work

I just finished two sliding doors for an architect and on day 14…...........I wanted to quit. A “demanding” bunch

Downright impressive work. Somehow, though I can see a baby viewing that as a “safe” place to be, both physically and emotionally.

Huckleberry, You did a beautiful job on the crib. Great build!!! I know what you mean by regulations…..I built one crib in my career and by the time I read all the safety regulations pertaining to building and finishing a crib and the liabilities attached to manufacturing one scared me to death. Looked like the Architect designed a great looking “Cell Block” for his baby. lol. Great job on your part… One to be proud of.

Your work is beautiful. I hope you got paid well for it :-)

Nice work, BTW I agree with the Architect comments.

Nice work, I know the architect gave you headaches!

Is the MDF used in the legs going to hold that together as it is moved around? I have never had good luck with that stuff except to create large quantities of dust.

Huckleberry, I was going to pass on this comment, but the more I look at that crib the more concerned I am for the infant. Having build a few cribs, I will guarantee that this crib would not pass safety standards. Those sharp corners on the posts will be right at eye level as the child grows. And, the extention of the corner pieces exceeds the allotted amount and becomes a potential strangulation danger. If you read the ASTM standards and the regulations published by the Consumer Product Safefy Commission you may find yourself liable.

Your work is absolutely fantastic, but children’s furniture is a dangerous business.

Awesome job,,,,,,,fantastic looking crib!

That looks like one of those jobs that I’d be wanting to say “No Thanks!”

Looks like a real challenge. Does the front side go up and down?

Beautiful Crib! Great Job.

-- Dennis Zongker

Nice work! I like the design maybe not for a baby but I like it. Does it come a part to fit into a standard 30” bedroom door

Nice work! Absolutely love it!
As an european i’m always surprised by the us safety standards.
The festool CMS systym didn’t pass the US safety at first, ofcourse it can take a finger or two if not used with care. On the other hand guns can be bougth with relative ease and if not used with care can take a life two…

Same goes for this design, I would have rounded over the corners on the crib, less change of injuries but it wouldn’t do good to the design. But look at the rest of the furniture. Sharp corners everywhere, shouldn’t it be filed under the same regulations?

Huck, I am impressed. Great job.

Wow, nice work. My first thought was it should be in a Frank Lloyd Wright home.

That architect sure designed enough sharp edges into that crib to maim even the most cautious toddler!

If I were the builder I would fear for the chilld’s safety, cause I have to knock’im up side the head when he started knawing on it to cut teeth. Lots of parts, lots of cutting and lots of joinery. Nice result.
