Handmade Cot Converts To Toddler Bed
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Making a cot / crib for Baby Brown from scratch! Using some very twisted and warped slabs of beech. Baby will soon be 6 months old, so he needed a cot for his room to sleep in. I designed the cot to have an adjustable mattress base, storage in the form of a large drawer underneath and removable panels at the front and back ready for converting to a toddler bed.

Yes! Thank you!
That is a great piece. Quality enough that Baby Brown might be able to use it if they decide to have Baby Baby Browns.
A brilliant built, Keith, it HAD to rank as one of, if not THE, best built you've done. Baby Brown is a very lucky boy. We'll done.
baby Brown is lucky to have you as his dad. And of course his mom rocks too!
Gorgeous work and I love how you’re so modest and not afraid to show your mistakes

That's beautiful. Baby Brown is VERY fortunate to have a Dad like you.
Who knows, one day Baby Brown’s son might be sleeping in that cot. 🙏🏻
Amazing work, Keith! I'd much rather have your hand made cot than one bought from a "reputable" shop!
Wooow nice job Keith baby Brown will love it.
Absolutely beautiful Keith. Good tip for removing stickers is Pledge polish.

Top! Top! Job buddy, you must be proud as its for your little one. My daughter slept in the same cot my great nan slept in, so I’d love it if yours got passed down the generations the same. Great vid👍
We have a cradle in our family that was bought somewhere around 1921. It passed down 4 generations and currently the 12th baby is using it. Looking at the design, ease of disassembly and storage, and build quality, I guess that this cot will last longer then you think.
Even though it may not get loads of views because it’s a child’s project. That looked like an absolute joy to make. Lots of love poured into it.
Excellent build. However, you made everything baby safe and then added a medal handle with sharp corners low down for Baby to bump against when crawling around their bedroom.
Baby Brown is a lucky boy to have such a smart papa. Lovely job, would be nice to see it become a family heirloom passed to Grand baby Brown in years to come. Hope Ria is doing well too. Stay safe.
great practice for all the baby gates Keith!
Beautiful. Your baby is very lucky!
Baby Brown is a lucky boy to have gotten a dad like you, he’s going to love his cot and all the other great things that you are going to build for him as he grows ❤
Well done Keith you should be proud of yourself for making your son cot a lot of work but I say it was worth it as for all projects you always think later l could have done it differently but saying that l think you did a great job 👏
Thats a lovely piece of work and showcases the quality of your workmanship.
Fair play Keith been watching you for a few years now and this project is by far your best. well done

Thank you! I don't think it's my best to be honest. I think the double bed frame I made is my best work, I'm not sure if I'll ever better it!
Very nice. You wont miss the bigger mattress. By the time hes too big for that, he'll want a full size bed anyway
You've made an heirloom to be passed down to future generations of baby Browns! Lovely work.
Very nice job, love the style and color. I always appreciate that you show your mistakes, it makes the rest of us feel not so stupid !😉

Great job, a real family heirloom. Hopefully, baby browns' own kids will use it, too.
That’s is absolutely beautiful!! Ur baby is so lucky to have you..
I enjoy these videos very much and they bring me alot of inspiration and enthusiasm. Though I am not a woodworker I am an avid diy’er, love these!
That's a great build bro. It's crazy he's almost 6 months old already it seems like it was just yesterday it was summer time and you made the announcement. Time flies! Can't wait to see him in the years to come helping you in the shop.

Beautiful build Keith.
Such an accomplished build Keith. I’m sure baby Brown will be very comfy and safe in his new bed. Brings back very fond memories of when ours were just tiddlers. What a great Dad.

Awesome build Keith.
That looks awesome Keith! 😎
Keith...that is FAB U LOUS...
So.. You were testing for fit, just in case you were kicked out to the Dog house LOL. I never trust just using the Hex key to screw in the inserts. I use a bolt with a double lock nut. I haven't had any problems so far. Very nice. Looks better than a bought one. And pride in building it yourself. 😎😊
Thats lovely that Keith mate. 👌
Cheers Kevin, a labour of love indeeed, looks great!
Amazing build. Nice work! Cheers!
It IS your son we are talking about, so it's understandable you put so much time and trouble into it. I think you did a great job and am impressed you didn't just throw up a site to copy for people. They should want to do their own research. It's for their child, or someone else's. Couldn't be more important! Thanks for showing us it can be done. 😊
Good to watch. Congratulations!
Great video. As a dad to a 3 year old and a 6 month old. I did think have you remembered this or that bit. You did a great job. My little one is already at his beds lowest setting as I couldn't to bothered to change it 3 times.
That's great Keith, and a real labour of love, a unique and stylish item of furniture to be proud of for sure ! I know you'll be disappointed at your dimension mistake, it's so easily done, especially when you flex an existing design, but you've come such a long way in your skills and your recent machine upgrades also helped you achieve this high-end result !
Super job. It's especially rewarding when your hard work is for your own family members
Really impressive. Very well done.
Well done mate, looks great. A really classy look. You should be very proud of youself.
Onwards and upwards, certainly a change of pace with this build. Glad you're proud of it - congrats on the baby.
Top job that, Keith 👌
that came out great looking
I once had a bed with drawers, they were mounted on casters, no need for a box, one less element to make. But of course they needed to have a lid to keep the dust out.
Excellent work! When it comes to the struggles you had with the insert nuts you should try running a tap into the wood. I have done that on lots of applications and they work great. I even remember seeing a KZread video where in testing the wood threads lasted longer than inserts! plus the wood threads lasted for many in and out cycles. Great Points on the regulations around cribs!

Brilliant, I’m sure that will last for years and maybe even be used for a second baby Brown? 👍👍👍👍👍 I think it looks Bloody awesome too 👍👍
I generally mean this, this build is insane!! I get why you built it yourself, most things on the market are built on quantity and not quality. Well done mate!
brilliant build !
Lovely work, Keith - you should be rightly proud. Also, noticed Baby Brown's room looks out onto the catio: endless entertainment 😆
That's a beaut 🙌

Congrats, very beautifull.
Great build Keith. Stylish and practical. Those plywood stickers are the bain of my life! B&Q are the worst culprits.
I think the nut inserts sometimes need a countersunk hole to take the top flange. Charles ps. Beautiful cot!
Looks lovely; Baby Brown should be happy in the cot!
Great build 👌🏻👌🏻 We have a 1 year old and just an fyi, they bite the top of the cot as soon as they can stand and have teeth 😂
Easiest solution I found for my domino blunders is glueing a domino into to mistake mortise, cutting flush and completely recut domino mortise once glue dried.
For those threaded inserts put a small amount of furniture wax onto them before installing. Worked for me.
Great job as usual Keith, well done. Like many of us, we all make the odd mistake or two but with a short break and a cuppa, we figure out a solution. Well done again.
Did you think about securing it to the wall? Here is why I say this. My younger brother figured out as a toddler that he could put his feet between the slats and push the crib (it was on wheels) over to my parents bed and flip out onto the bed. I actually watched him do this (I was fairly impressed). I'm sure at the top position he won't be strong enough and the bottom position the center of gravity will be too low. But the middle position might be problematic? Anyway love your videos really gives the rest of us "splinter jockeys" hope of make beautiful furniture. I'm sure your son will have many restful nights in it (you and your wife a few less). Could easily be passed on to your grandchildren
really good job, and congratulations again
Beautiful job, and hopefully a family heirloom built! Great-Grand son Brown may use it one day!!
Beautiful work
What a lovely build - lucky I am really impressed that you have ear defenders around the house - Must stop the crying being annoying ;-)

An absolute outstanding build Keith. Needless to say you'd never buy such a quality cot from a shop or outlet of any kind mate and nothing as stunning as this one. Great work and fantastic video 😉🙂
Great build Keith. You should be proud.
I missed your great news. Congratulations and welcome to the World Master Brown. Great build too 👍🏻
Amazing work Keith! You should be very proud of your work. I'm sure all us diy dads are jealous of you completing this project!
Brilliant job Keith, well done. Have you considered adding a retaining clip/bracket at either end of that removable side you demonstrated at the end? This can act as a marker for people to know they have lined up the piece correctly and also a fail safe to back up the fixing you already have.
Really lovely, Keith. You should be proud.
Not that there's anything wrong with it but is that lipstick? 4:42 lol very vibrant.
Great job he love it
Nice. I bet it was such a great feeling making this for your son.
Extremely satisfying, Keith- it’s obvious how much love and care has gone into this build. Absolutely marvellous.
It's Amazing Work, And I Try To Build It, Can You Please Share The Bed Plan ?
Top job, well done 👍🏻
Beautiful work. ☺☺
Beautiful
Really nice work, Keith! You can be justifiably proud of that.
great build Keith and it looks great in situ. Hard to believe he's at 6 months already.
Well done!
That really is fantastic, one of the best builds you've done! We picked up a Tutti Bambini cot-bed which is very similar in design but nowhere near the quality of materials and finish you've put together.
What an incredible piece of furniture! Beech is such an underrated wood, it looks fantastic.
Beautiful work, Keith! Really stunning looking bed!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!

Fantastic work 🙂 Putting a little wax on the threaded inserts helps to screw them into hardwoods.
Beautiful, you can tell it was a personal project for sure with them hours put in to it 👍
Great build. That really was a lot of work, but surely well worth it. Thanks for sharing the video.
👍👍👍.Thank you
Nice job 👍
Not a very good video, this was a GREAT video , really enjoyed every part. Thanks for sharing.
Well done Keith! Love the beech! Baby Brown will sleep well in it! MDid you consider adding a centerpost in the sides when you found out they where 10cm short?
Beautiful piece. Hopefully he can put his baby in it one day. I missed the announcement, so please allow me to say congratulations now. Congratulations! Take care.
