  1. @GetHandsDirty, wonderful work, and very well done video. Thank you for sharing.

    I am new to woodworking, so I have a question: Why do you use floating tennons instead of making the gennon part of the slat?

  2. 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

  3. Este taller esta muy completo , practico y sobretodo usted que hace bellos trabajos

  4. Lovely work! I’m actually looking to make my daughter a crib right now and I was wondering if you have a link for the M6 spiral tap as I’m finding it yes to know which one would be good quality from the options online?

  5. Wow this is beautiful! I love how meticulous you were about straightness lol. Thanks for making this video; it's pretty inspiring šŸ™‚

  6. WOW! Excellent work! Beautiful design and sturdy. How you did the legs and cloud support was very clever. Loved watching your work technique or work flow. Your shop is awesome also. Just learned a few days ago that I will be a grandpa for the first time this December. I would love to make an heirloom "Grandpa-made" crib for her. Thanks for the inspiration.Ā 

    That domino tool is very interesting. To date I have been using other methods to cut mortises and tenons, but that tool seems like a real game changer. Difficult to master? Thanks for posting and sharing.

  7. You don't like figured wood so you're going to paint it… you're definitely not a wood worker.

  8. I have been looking a good crib design and plans for months. This is exactly what I need. Are the plans available somewhere?

  9. So good, very nice work. Here's my question and I think you could answer. We have a cib similar in design, as in fixed sides, how would I make one side drop down or fold? Reason, he's almost old enough to sleep alone, however, wheelchair using wife may not be able to place or remove him. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.
