Cherry Cradle - Pics on Website...

For anyone interested, I have posted pictures of the cherry cradle I
recently completed for our first child, due in June. The design is from
Jeff Miller's Taunton book Children's Furniture. It is built from some
beautiful cherry that I stumbled upon while on a visit through Ohio's Amish
Country (Holmes County).

This project had some welcomed challenges, and working on it was definately
an enjoyment, especially knowing who was to be the intended recipient.

Click on link below and go to the Project Gallery. (New website since
wood-workers went down).

Thanks for looking.

That is one of the nicest cradles I have seen. Mind if I ask what all
power tools were required to build this? Thanks - appreciate it, and
the nice pics!!

Thanks Xlat... As far as what power tools were required to build this,
while it can surely be done with out any, I would have to say that every
stationary power tool I have in my shop came into play.

Namely jointer, planer, tablesaw, bandsaw, drill press, router table, drum
sander... Click on Shop Photos at the site below for pics.

Again, it could definately be completed with less. i.e. if you purchased the
wood already jointed/planed (S4S) you could manage it with a table saw,
jigsaw, router, and drill.

Very nice. Congrats on the future new addition; looks like you are
well ahead of the game in getting prepared.

Like the way your site is laid out.

Brian,
You did a great job on a fine piece of furniture; be justifiably proud.
However, you set an extremely bad example by finishing a project four months
before it was needed >G>.
