To get this out of the way, I'm not pregnant! But my dear sister-in-law is with the first grandchild on that side of the family - so we're all making a big deal out of it.

How to make or how I made a convertible crib
Let’s get into it.
Let’s get started with some air dried red oak.
I roughly measured and marked each piece I’d used for the frames of the crib panels as well as the feet framework. Being sure to overestimate about a ¼” from final dimensions.
Then using the center most rough marks on each board as my guides, I ripped the pieces small enough to fit on the jointer.
After that, I got to squaring the lumber.
Once square, I let these freshly cut pieces rest for a few days before I took them down to the final dimension. Allowing them to acclimate to avoid warping
While those rested, I set about the same process for the lumber I’d use for all of the beveled spindles.
After they’d had their nap, it was time to rip the pieces I’d use for the crib panel frames down to size. I’ll level some basic dimensions below, or for greater detail, I’ll link to plans in the description.
I used the crosscut sled to then cut the frame boards to length.
For the spindles, I worked in reverse order, cutting the squared pieces to length before ripping each spindle to it’s final 1.25” x 1.25” width.
To create the bevel, I set the table saw to 45 degrees, and ran each freshly cut spindle corner through the blade.
With those roughed out, I got to work hardening any cracks, checks, or knots with CA glue and accelerator.
Then, sanded the surfaces flush taking them to a finish level.
With the spindles out of the way, I got to piecing together the frame of the crib panels.
I started with the 8 vertical frame pieces, measuring and marking 2” from either end to start laying out the recesses for the hardware.
Grouping these vertical pieces in pairs of two (ie the pairs that would anchor to each other to form a corner) I marked the center points along the lines on one of the pieces of the pair - we’ll call this kind of piece, Type A.
Then rotated the other piece 90 degrees, used the 2” line as my guide, marked the new face, and marked another point ¾” from what would later become the outside of the frame. We’ll call this kind of piece, Type B.
With all the vertical pieces marked, I took all the type A’s over to the drill press
Using a ¾” frostner bit, I drill a recess about a ¼” into the wood. The same depth as the head of the bolt that would soon live there.
Then, in the center of that recess, drilled a pilot hole as a guide for the ⅜ Frostner bit that would clear the rest of the way for the bolt.
I had to do this before gluing the frames together, otherwise the spindles would have inhibited my drilling of the recess for the bolt head.
With all of the type A’s drilled, I got to work on making the long sided panels by laying out the form of the frame before marking every butt joint at ¾”. These markes would be the guide for the domino jointer
Then, measured equidistant spacing on the long horizontal pieces and marked the face perpendicular to where the spindles would join the frame.
I did both the top and bottom horizontal pieces together in pairs to help ensure proper alignment
Then, with the dominio jointer, I got to work cutting 10mm slots on either end of the long horizontal pieces, and through the end grain of the type a vertical pieces.

That thing must be HEAVY 😆 looks nice.
Nice work, young lady! My granddaughter is on her way, and she will definitely have a grandpa-made crib. Thanks for the inspiration.
So gorgeous Hailey, I can’t wait to see it in person! 🥰
Your the real wood worker 👍👍. I was marvellous for your work.
Great build and design concept. Thanks for taking time to create the plans also. I just finished building this myself and am please with how it turned out.
This pice of art is so underrated! Love it ❤️

I like this project. It might take me a long time to finish it.
Everything about this is wonderful, but I especially appreciate your use of the Pilot G2

Love your work! I'm about to build my second crib. I was wondering why did you choose to have the front/back inset into the sides rather than the other way around? (I'm thinking from the front it will be a cleaner look if you inset the sides into the front/back?) Please let me know if there is a build/strength reason you did it this way. Thanks - Mike
Hi there. Great video, I bought the plans too. For the short side vertical pieces, the cut list says 1.5x1.5, but it looks like 1.5 x 2 in the videos and pictures (similar to the long side verticals). Can you confirm? I imagine it will impact the cuts of the end panels, so I wanted to double check. Thank you!
Really great work and subbed. Is lacquer safe for a teething baby to chew on?
Amazing job ! Do you have a complete plan to do the same ?
I'm using these designs for the crib I'm building. I don't see where you say how far apart the spindles are, but by my math it should be almost exactly 2", right?
Do you have a cut list?
Are you a crib “engineer”?. I’m looking to hire someone to design a crib / crib prototype. Where is the place place to reach you. Serious request
What kind of chisel are you using?

These were actually a gift my husband got me from trip to Japan - they were hand crafted there. I wish I could show you the picture of the shop he got them in - think a tiny store front but hand made chisels and planes from floor to ceiling. Which I guess is the long winded way of saying - I don’t know, they’re weren’t branded.
But if I buy the project, will I find all the measurements or just the images?

If you buy the plans you do not get blue prints
Great crib but after building this myself I am very disappointed with the plans. Almost every plan I used over 20 years of woodworking there is actually details on the plan but not this one. For example, interval spacing between spindles is wrong,angle on the x supporting feel (not feet) is 35 degrees or 55 degrees? I could go on and on. Video starts out good but then is edited poorly with measurements she gives are cut to the quick and hard to follow. So I would not have spent 15 dollars on such a poorly devised plan.

I agree, awful plans. Might as well just use the video. Pay $15 for plans that are only slightly more detailed than the video, which is to say almost not at all. They got me on this one. I will most definitely not buy anything from Honest work designs again.

Hello All! I've updated the plans to include specific cut lists, links to specific hardware etc. I've only ever built things for myself and my clients from custom designs, so plans are a bit of a foreign concept to me. I only put these together because of demand, but have heard y'alls input and improved upon them. If you've purchased plans and want the updated set, shoot me an email! And of course, the same is true if you're unhappy with them and would like a refund.
