For some reason this post got deleted so here I am re-posting...

This was a project I did about 4.5 years ago... The Mrs. was pregnant and we were looking out for a crib online. Everything we came across was too expensive and too flimsy. So the Mrs. told me to make it.

Made of pine, a beautiful looking and a beautiful smelling wood as well (especially if you are hand planing it... we ended up spending one fourth of what it costed, about four weekends worth of my time. But we had something that was super durable, mobile (see the wheels) and something that my son could jump on (and not have it break)...

As it has aged the pine has yellowed out beautifully. All the dents and the knocks (courtesy of my son) have given the crib character. Today he has grown out of it and it has been converted into a fabric storage for my wife (maybe my next post) with a table top for my leather work.

Anyways I hope that this has been inspirational and if I can do it so can you...
