Need Source for Baby Cribs

Post by ken_indiana »

Our first grandchild will be born next summer.:D Our daughter-in-law has asked me to make a crib. However I've only found a couple of sources for plans only. I don't need the wood but will need the hardware. Can you help me with a source? TIA. Ken

Thanks Ed. Rockler is one that I've looked at. Hoping that there were others. I think I found 4 sources with 1 crib each. Ken

I have real good luck with Woodsmith plans. I built a cherry cradle using their plans and so far it has held 6 grandchildren, all in comfort. I built their rocking horse and again all 6 grandchildren have ridden that horse into may sunsets.

What I like about Woodsmith plans is they include a material lists that tells exactly where to get any hardware but they usually go a step further and offer a hardware package. The Hardware package includes all the need hardware in one complete unit. Not calling this company and that to track down all the need material.

Both the cradle and rocking horse are excellent plans and the finished product is very impressive. Almost everyone that has seen either always asks me to build them one. Sure when I get caught up on everything else.

Thanks everyone for your help. Guess the baby is inheriting:( a crib.

But trust me this Grandpa to be is making the first rocking horse!:p They've already been informed of that fact.:rolleyes: Ken
