That is just sweet, and the crib looks great too.
Those slats look so easy, but I know how much work they really are.

Good job,
Steve

I built this same crib a couple years ago for my oldest—and a couple weeks ago took it apart and packed it away in the crawl space. With luck, I’ll be around to put it back together for her first born!

Nice work and congratulations, Jono!

My wife is expecting our first and I have been looking at that exact crib. Would you say it would be a project for a relative newby?

Kevin,

I also did that crib 2 years ago for our first kid. It is very labor intensive with all the slats, but everything is simple straight cutting. The plans and included HW make it very easy. Leaving out the pyramids as was done in this project simplify the steps even further.

One thing with the slats, the top and bottom pieces of the sides gets grooved on the table saw or router and then you cut 100’s of individual spacers that go between each slat, on both the top and bottom. So lots of little pieces. But it does come out great and is pretty simple to do. I am sure you are up for it.

Looks good. Next you need to do the high chair!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I would rate this crib build a 2 out of 5 as far as difficulty goes. It’s more labour intensive with 100’s of slats and filler blocks, glue ups and hand finishing. The plans are very straight forward and easy to follow. Measure twice cut once and take it step by step. Good luck!
