Crib & dresser plans?

My next project is a combination crib/dresser/changing table for my
son and DIL. Does anyone know where I could get some plans and
hardware for this combination, or do I have to "wing it"?

Thanks,

Mike Smith

OK, that looks do-able.

My son wanted an all-in-one piece of furniture, so it looks like I
might be able to combine the two. {Have the changing table/drawers on
the end of the crib}

Thanks for the info!

All in one? I don't think that's a good idea. Eventually the kid
is gonna outgrow the crib. Then you'd have to get rid of, or store, the
whole combo. Separate dresser, maybe with a removable changing table
top, could be used forever. That way, you'd only have to worry about the
crib.

You're right. The DIL just saluted off on the two piece with the
modified bottom slide for diapers. I'm buying the plans tonight.

I have plans for both the crib pictured and changing table pictured. I
haven't had a need to make either yet (but I am keeping my fingers crossed).
However, they both look VERY easy to make.

That might work. In fact, maybe something like a computer keyboard
tray/slide with 3 inch sides to store the diapers. Build it with a toe
board, so they could slide it out with their foot.....
Hmmmmm.... Ideas......

We saw a crib/dresser combo at Babies R Us with drawers under the crib
and it was major league cheezy! Talk about cheap! {and they wanted
around $500 for it} Pressboard & peel-n-stick... I hate it.....

They are coming over in the next couple of hours and I'll be showing
them the "scrollsaw" plans. We've already decided on Beech wood, now
we need to agree on the plans {Translation: the DIL will tell me what
she wants}. :)

Our DIL asked for a slide out drawer to be hung under the crib
mattress that was easy to do. Full extension slides and fringe
benefit more storage with footprint cost.
