Changing table

so was it “hey, hon… look what I made! How about we have a baby so we can use it!!!” :)

Nice job. The back “rail” is amazing. Well done.

That’s great! And it’s situated in the room in almost exactly the same manor as mine! Awesome job on the “crest”. I almost skipped this part but decided to go ahead and try it out. Looks fantastic!

For those who haven’t seen it yet, we both built the same dresser from Wood Magazine. (See my results on the same project here)

We had discussed children a few months before we officially starting trying. We plan everything. Thanks Ms Debbie.

Very nice purpose built project.

I think I would have devoted all my energy to getting the pregnancy started and thenstarted on the furniture. There will be plenty enough time to work in the shop when she is fat and grumpy. <g>

Nice job, though!

Nice work- I like the fact that it can used as a dresser once the kids get older. I made the mistake of making a single-use changing table. It now sits gathering dust until my kids get old enough to use it.

Looks great and sounds like a real learning project that will leed to bigger and better works.

Charlie likes living on the edge, I see. “fat and grumpy”??? Them are fightin’ words.
Reminds me of the commercial on right now where the woman in labour is screaming for drugs and hubby says, “but honey, we agreed on “no drugs”... HA.. let’s just switch places and see what you think then!!!!!

I agree with Plots – multi-use is great.

Great job!! I think if you really stop and think about it most of us can buy something off the shelf cheaper than we could make it but then we would have to forgo time in the shop and the pleasure of having something that is handmade rather than bought at Wal-Mart.

By the way what couldn’t you wait to get started on- the changing table or the pregnancy?

Thanks for sharing

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Man, I could have use one of those a few months ago! Good job!

Deb, that reminds me of our first child… All those weeks of Lamaze classes with the wife…all those breathing exercises, learning how to “help” her deal with the pain so she could give birth without drugs… (all her idea, I might add). When she actually went into labor and immediately started hollering for the drugs, at least I had the good sense not to “but, Honey” her. LOL!

good man!!! :)
with my second child, my hubby and my nurse of the day watched a movie on the TV that was in the room… what was playing? “Godzilla”. When they took me into the delivery room, the nurse came in and asked “what was happening on the movie”. I thought to myself, “You want to see Godzilla?? I’ll show you Godzilla!!!!!”

But that’s off topic.. Beautiful change table Timber Cruiser :)

She isn’t fat and grump, more like round and cheerful. She has thoroughly enjoyed being pregnant. The due date is the 29th of this month and she already asked if I have thought about another child. That is a question to get your attention. We haven’t done any lamasse classes. Hopefully, she won’t rip my arm off during contractions. I don’t think wood glue would fix that. Also, she is terrified of needles and wants to go without drugs. We will see how long that will last. My guess is about 2 minutes. As for pregnancy and woodworking, they have both been a blessing in my life. No doubt, my son will be the most beautiful and perfect that I will ever make in my lifetime. Thanks for the props, they mean a lot.

Nice project Cruiser. It takes a bit of the fun away when you can buy something cheaper than you can make it but there is always that satisfaction of doing it yourself.

The “fat & grumpy” part was a joke. In truth, my wife loved being pregnant too. Having children has been the greatest experience of my life without a doubt. (They are 21 & 18 now). Enjoy this time of your life… they are only babies once.

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Hey Charlie, I remember Lamaze classes. Ours were given by the “Childbirth without Pain Association” – never bought that for a minute. And the mother of my children suggested the process as well, and as expected, during labor began calling for chemicals in a way that was quite foreign to her quiet demeanor (Some sailors walking by were a bit surprised).

Oh yeah, that’s a really nice changing table Timber Cruiser and congrats on the family addition.

haha
I knew you were joking, Charlie—no man would be (insert adjective here) enough to make such a statement in mixed company! :)
