Very nice.
I love the clean lines. It almost looks like it was carved out of a single piece of wood.

Thanks Gary, I was pleased for my first attempt at a cradle. I don't use plans so I just kind of "wing it". Scott |

what was the wood you used, I'm too inexperienced to tell. Also give your friend a big congrats from us. I started to get grey hair, and I think thus far I have earned every one. My three year old shoved Lego's up her nose last week, and had to go to the hospital to get them retreived. That is all I meant by not ready for a fifth child.  |

Hi Rob, Nothing special, just poplar except the bearing covers & the wood locking screw which are walnut. I know what your saying about the grey, I've got plenty & I only have two kids.  Scott |

My 20 year old daughter and her 22 year old son are in college.
How can your 20 year old daughter have a 22 year old son? |

..... That is all to bring us back around to your friend who is expecting HIS first. What a treat, what a pleasure for you to not only build your friend this truly beautiful cradle but to also watch him become the first male to carry and deliver his own child.  Fred Fred, Thanks for your kind and humorous words. After much consideration I think your correct! I have decided NOT to watch Scott |

Hi Scott, Looks great! I saw it before on your website slide show. I built one for my son in '92 along similar lines. Curious, though, What did you use for swing hinges? Would appreciate some closeup shots and source info.

Thanks sToolman, Sorry I cant give you any pics, it's already been delivered (the bearings are covered up anyway) I thought about it for quite some time during the initial phases of the build. In the end here is what I decided to do: I purchased (2) T- nuts and inserted them into the cradle side, flange toward the inside of the cradle. and (2) grade 8 bolts for the pins. On the stand side I bored a 2 inch hole from the outside of the stand to within 1/4 inch of going through. I drilled it 5/8 the remaining distance to fit the bolt then reamed it .002 over. For bearings I turned down some HMW plastic to just under 2 inch OD and bored a 5/8 in hole down the center and reamed it .001 over. The HMW was glued into the stand with epoxy and the bolts were trued and smoothed. I finished the cradle, inserted a bolt with washer from the outside of the stand through the bearing and threaded it into the T-nut with a dab of epoxy on the threads. I covered the holes with walnut inlays (made with the OF 1400) and "Bob's your uncle" smooth as glass. The T-nuts and the bolts are the only metal in the cradle I originally made a threaded brass pin for the stop but scrapped it and made a threaded walnut one because I didn't like the look. I hope you can understand this convoluted description, If not I'll try to clarify it for you. Scott |
