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 and white plastic, and screws are provided. 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.

No one ever accused me of being a carpenter but this wasn't that hard. I had never made anything much bigger than a birdhouse before and certainly had never made anything using templates and such. The idea of making 52 exact copies of anyting was very intimidating but the plans and drawings were straight forward enough that I got through it with little problem. The end result speaks for itself.
I made this from cherry, walnut, and curly maple. I modified the plans just a bit and let my creative impulses run a bit. The inset in the headboard is curly maple that I had laser engraved with my grandson's initial. The inlay kit came from rockler and again, even though I had never done anything like this before, it was a snap and looks great. On the ends I did bowtie inlays of walnut and curly maple.
I was a bit worried when it came to installing the hardware but in the end, it all fit as if I knew what I was doing. I finished it with Sam Maloof poly oil and poly wax finishes also from Rockler. The finish literally begs to be touched and feels like silk.
I used some left overs and made a small mission style lamp table and instead of using straight slats, I made smaller versions of the slats on the crib. The effect was terriffic.

The plans and hardware where good. I did not like the design or reading instructions on how to make my furniture so I just used the hardware and the plans for the dimensions of the crib. I made my own design on AutoCAD and built the other furniture pieces to match the crib. It turned out great and only took me about 2 weeks to build after work and on the weekends. I built the crib out of white select pine from local home center which is more economical and easier to work with. I build my own furniture not only because it is a great hobby, I build my own furniture to save money. So if I used a harder would it would have been more costly. I did not plane down any of the slats as I do not have a planer and with using pine it needed the strength. For the finish I just used polyurethane and no stain which was the first time I finished furniture like that before and it turned out great. The crib is strong and should last through all the kids we want to have. Thank you Rockler for having the hardware to make a crib.

I made the crib out of 4/4 and 8/4 Mahogany. Made templates of all the parts because I have to make another one. The plans were fairly complete. The two parts kits needed were good quality all the pieces were there. Took about three weeks to assemble, part time. Finished in tung oil. Spindles were time consuming the rest was fairly easy. I like the end results.

I had a great time building this crib for my daughter. As you can see I modified the crib design slightly to match with an existing dresser. I also attached the rails with mortise-and-tenon joinery for strength. It was time-consuming but a labor of love and hopefully a family heirloom!

This is by no means a weekend project. I'd have to say my father and I spent around 75 man-hours to complete it. We choose to use maple for our wood. Cutting the slats with a router and jig was a tricky task due to maple being so brittle. The slats would splinter if you tried to take off more then a 1/16th of an inch with the router. This means, not only do you have to rout, sand, and round over all the slats. We also had to rough cut them with a band saw. Everyone is very pleased with the out come of this crib! It is well worth the time and money to build something like this that will last for generations and generations to come.

I would highly recomend this project for anyone expecting a new bundle of joy. I built this crib for my first grandson and had a great time. If I could of changed anything, I would of cut the headboard longer to use mortis and tenon joints between the headboard and legs, instead of just dowels. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I think I will install some decorative trim on the headboard before I start the finish process. Thank you.

This plan is pretty good. However, I didn't really like the design of it so I altered it quite a bit as you can see in the picture. I went with 3" top rails, 2 1/2" bottom rails, and then I added the large 6 3/4" large pieces in the front gate, headboard, and bottoms of the sides. I also made the headboard piece taller to give it a much more custom look and then capped that off. This was essentially my first major wood-working project and it took me much longer than I planned but in the end it was well worth it and it turned out great. I created all the tenons on the slats on the router table and made all the mortises in the top and bottom rails with the Delta Mortising kit - 5/16" chisel which worked fairly well, but was timely and the bit is very fragile. It was made from 100% recycled oak my dad picked up from an old retail store. I finished it with a water based minwax stain - Vermont American with 3 coats of a minwax satin poly. The finish looks really nice in person. Enjoy!
