Finally, after reaching the ripe old age of 72, I am going to be a
grandfather!! About a year ago I saw a "how to" article in one of my wood
magazines about building a cradle that knocked down and could be carried in
a case for which the plans were included.
I promised my daughter (the expectant new mother) that I would build one of
those for her first child. Now the time approaches and I can't find the
magazine. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks
Paul and soon to be Grandpa

A bit slow, eh?
Yeah, make her a rocking chair insted, she'll get a lot more use
out of one of them than a cradle

I agree with JT...a cradle is only used for a few weeks...a rocking chair or
changing table is used for several years...

Paul,
Need to extend congratulations also!!!
I need to add that you will REALLY enjoy your grandchild! It has been one of
my most enjoyable times...ever.... We have 4 young grandsons (hoping for a
little girl next). Nothing like it....all the fun...none of the awsome
parental responsibility<g>.

I have that magazine, Paul. It's the
Sept. 2007 issue of Wood mag. I know
the cradle you're talking about. I
briefly thought of building it myself.
It's available on the web for $10.
If that doesn't work, contact me offlist
and I'll see what I can do.

Congrats, Paul.
Here is a link to another knockdown cradle. I think the knockdown
feature is more for storage than carrying around. Pretty hefty amount
of wood to be carrying.
