This bed grows along with your child for years of service. Easily transforms from a crib to a toddler bed, and then to a full sized bed.
|
Build a crib that easily transforms into a daybed, then a full sized bed and back
again. Use the Rodless Crib Gate Hardware and Spring Kit, and Fastener Hardware
Kit to create an heirloom quality project that will last for generations. Standard
full size crib mattress works for both the crib and the small daybed. Add a full
sized box spring and mattress for the full sized bed.
The Rodless Crib Gate and Springs Hardware Kit allows you to raise and lower
the crib gate easily. Apply a light amount of pressure to the lower gate, lift
up with one hand and the gate slides down smoothly. Simply raise the gate to
the upper position and it automatically locks in place.
Kit includes rod less gate hardware and standard full size crib spring.
Gate hardware is brown or white plastic, and screws are provided. Mattress springs on both styles are brown. This plan requires both the Rodless Spring Gate Hardware Kit and the Fastener
Hardware Kit to complete the project. The plan also requires 16 dowels 3/8'' x 1-1/2'' in size.

Quite a bit of work, but very pleased. Crib is made of White Ash. This is for my first Grandson. Now I need to take it to Tennessee where he is. Son and Daughter in law are anxious to see it in more than just pictures. Made some modifications to suit my tastes. I used the Bead Lock Pro jig from Rockler for the mortise & tenon joints on the 52 slats. Best jig since sliced bread. Made the job much easier! Crib kit takes a lot of time, but worth it. Literally hours of drilling, days of sanding and 5 coats of Minwax wipe on Poly. Took me 3 months working on weekends. I would recommend this plan to anyone with patience and time. It takes both, but well worth the effort.

Good instructions; many slats. This was my first serious wood project and all went well. Fortuantly, I had accesss to a wood shop. One spends a lot of time at the router table, band saw, and drill press with this project.
I built one for my first daughter. Family/friends were very impressed. We're working on the second crib for daughter number two due soon.

Plans were a bit criptic, and templates used both sides of the paper (the reason for 4, not 5 stars). 52 spindles, rounded at each end require 1)time & patience, and 2)a good router table setup or good doweling jig (a good drill press is a big help, too), or 3)a hollow chisel mortiser (if you don't want to round the ends of the spindles). That being said, this is a very nice project, especially for a grandfather. I also bought the hardware kits - a bit pricey, but the best solution I could think of. I chamfered the edges of the spindles as they were pretty sharp, and the effect was to make each one look like a shield - worked out nicely. I sanded it down to 400 grit, used several coats of tung oil, and finished with a coat of wax - smooth as glass.
My grandson is now 18 months old and likes to shake his crib a bit :), and it has held up just fine - which is a testiment to the design. He'll be ready for the next conversion in a couple of months and I expect I'll only have to do some inspection and fine tuning.
My daughter suggested that I make and sell these cribs as it turned out so nicely. However, the cost of the maple and the amount of time spent would make this at least a $1000 bed (as someone else also wrote) - in other words, an absolutely lovely project that will make you feel good when you're done.

This was my sixth order of the crib gate and springs. They are fast and easy to install. I have been very satisfied with every order I have made with Rockler.
Keep up the good work and Thanks.

A timeless oak piece that I've received alot of compliments on. My father and I took our time, but we probably each had 80+ hours into the project. I won't do the tapered slats again (alot of time and two jigs), but they are beautiful! I tried to put the slats with the most wood grain character on the crib gate, second best on the headboard and plain ones on the sides. I would have paid $5 more for the plans so I didn't have to cut and tape them back together (double sided, should be single sided).

I bought the 3-1 crib plan along with the changing table plan when my sister explained to me that she was having a baby. The plans were purchased in late Oct. 08 and the crib and changing table were completed for here christmas gift. Plans were easy to follow. I would suggest that if you do not have a good dowel jig to spend the money and purchase one. It will save time in the end. Thanks Rockler for all of the help with my questions on this project. She loves it!

This was my first woodworking project beyond the bookends I made in high school, (longer ago than I want to remember…). The plans were pretty easy to interpret. I liked what Jeremy did with his crib as my daughter in law already has some furniture in her apartment of that style. So I modified the crib for a Mission style. Since I had no appreciable woodworking skills, I took a table saw class before diving in to this and received some good suggestions for the project. I was pretty hesitant of making so many mortise and tenon joints, but after practicing on some scrap pine, I got it down pretty well. The biggest thing for me was obtaining repeatability with the slats. I ended up scrapping some, and then even making another headboard because I was not satisfied with the first one. My wife adopted my first try for the bed in the guest room; she really likes it
Overall, I am very happy and have a really nice sense of accomplishment. My 4 month old granddaughter just smiles and slobbers on it. I guess that means she likes it too; (grin)
