Baby crib/rocker

[Rob_H]

Has anyone built a crib or rocker for a baby? We have a new arrival expected in February so I need to start work soon but I'm looking for some inspiration. I'm not sure I'm going to make a cot, but a rocking crib would be a start. Any photos would be appreciated

Hi Rob

Just so happens that I am expecting (well, the missus is, obviously) in December and I am just finishing off a swinging cradle now, in Walnut. I have cut, glued and shaped the legs, basket sides and basket end panels and it is all ready for final planing/sanding, sticking together then finishing.

I will post what WIP pics I have so far so you can have a look. Will do it later today as I am working atm.

Cheers

Mark

Very good so far - any more for comparison?

Hi Rob

Just got back from playing football so not had time to do my WIP, but this is the one that I am making, with a couple of changes for my own taste Pendulum Cradle

Cheers
