Tools for building a baby crib?

Has anyone built this baby crib?

http://www.woodsmithstore.com/heirloomcrib.html

What did you think of the bed and the difficulty of building it?
Another question is that I have pretty limited tools (and space) right
now, so what tools are required for this?

Please don't tell me I can do it with a hammer, a chisel, and a bottle
of glue. I don't really have that much time... Thanks!!

Limited time, space and tools - I recommend that you

A. find a cabinet shop to build this project for you
B. find a used crib and refinish it - yard sale, consignment shop
C. locate someone who will loan you a crib (limited time) until you
can build/buy what you want

If you still want to build it yourself (when you have time),
consider farming out the component preparation (spindles, etc.) and
leave the assembly (sand, glue and clamping) to your own labor.
This will be like working from a kit which includes all the wood as
well as the hardware. It will also minimize the number of one-time-use
tools required.
