Our Heirloom Crib plan adheres to United States Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines in regard to spacing of the slats, the height of the mattress, and the design of the posts. Please do not change the design unless you are familiar with these guidelines.

After years and years of tinkering around with woodworking, I decided that I wanted to jump in and make a crib when I found that my wife and I were expecting our first child. As a beginner, I found the plans fairly easy and was able to get some real nice locally harvested hard maple. I too mortised the slats instead of using filler blocks. That was 6 years ago and child #2 sleeps peacefully in this crib every night. We look forward to handing it down when the time comes as it is already considered an heirloom in our family.

The Rockler plans are excellent. Do be aware that if you order the hardware kit, the crib plans are not included, and have to be ordered separately. Guess I didn't read the listing carefully enough.
One change I made was to chamfer the bottom edges of the end caps, instead of round-over. I think it matches the pyramid inserts better.
The leopardwood I used is visually striking, but I wouldn't recommend it to others for this project. Very splintery wood, and difficult to work with in the smallish sizes for the slats.
The hardware plans are poor, but I eventually figured it out. I wish the hardware plans were as clear as the Rockler plans. Hardware itself, however, is excellent quality.

I completed this project over a few months for our first child. The plans and diagrams were thorough and the added tips were helpful. I used a chisel mortiser for the slats in the rails as opposed to the filler blocks called out in the plans. The plans show a picture using nicer machine screws for the rods than what the hardware kit provides. Overall, it's a sturdy and appealing design.

My sister-in-law told me she was pregnant while I was working in my shop and then asked if I would build them a crib. I spent several weeks looking for just the right mission style crib. The plans were easy to follow for a beginner like myself. I made the crib out of oak from a tree that had been taken down in the neighborhood. The diamond insets were made from cherry. The hardware kit was very easy to assemble. I would highly recommend this plan to anyone. I also used my Rockler Burning tool to engrave my name on the piece. This crib will become a family heirloom.

When our daughter was expecting our first grandchild she looked all over for the right crib. She found some beautiful cribs but they were so expensive. I told her why don't you let me make it for you. I had already made a cradle for her. Our daughter lives in Arizona and we live in Michigan but no problem we would make it and bring it to her. It's made of all oak and a few special woods for the diamond dots and under the top rails. I even engraved my name and year in the crib. Had alot of fun making this crib and so proud of how it turned out.

Early last winter, I was talking to my son on the phone and he asked me what projects I was working on. I told him about some woodturning I was doing, then he asked me if I would like to make a crib. It was his way of telling me I was to be a grandpa soon. So I made a crib out of cherry with cocobollo inserts, then made a changing table with a removable top that could be used for a dresser later on. I modified the plans by making solid panels for the ends and mortised the slats into the side rails instead of using the spacer blocks. All in all, it was a rewarding project to build and went well as the directions were thorough.

I have built several projects using plans in the Workbench Magazine. These plans were printed from the magazine. I ordered the plans and hardware kit from Rockler at the end of March. The plans came right away and the hardware package came a few days later. The woodworking plans were excellent. I built the crib from hard maple with black walnut accents. I will be taking this crib to my step son and his girlfriend. My only complaint was that there were no instructions for the hardware kit. It took about an extra 40 minutes to determine just where each threaded insert was to be located and just how the other hardware fit together.
