Baby Tender

That’s a great cradle. Where can I find those plans?

By the way, with a boat for a cradle, the boy’s name wouldn’t be Moses, would it?

And, do you have the link for that blog on the construction?

I like, like, like.

I went and looked up the blog links myself. Here they all are all in one place

David,

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you found the blog links and hope you enjoyed the build. I got the plans (and hardware) from Jordan Wood Boats at http://www.jordanwoodboats.com/home.cfm?dir_cat=5061. They have several versions of the concept. This is in the middle for ease of construction. As for my son his name is Ben, but we call him N.O.A.H. when he is missbehaving.

Beautiful cradle, it is really a sweet way to start life.
You should scale it up and make him a bed like this.
Best thoughts,

Thanks for the posting this project, better late than never. It is a very unique cradle, and beautiful work you did on it. Your family should be proud of it for years to come.

Great project Mitchell. Will make a nice heirloom.

Very nice cradle, will be in the family for generations to come!
