Making an Adjustable Height Walnut and Maple Baby Crib
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 січ 2016
- This crib is constructed of walnut for the frame and maple for the spindles. The frame is joined with mortise and tenons and the back is taller than the front so the side of the crib is angled. The rails are ripped from one wide board so their grain is continuous from the top rail to the bottom rail. The legs were sawn from a single block of walnut so they are bookmatched from left to right. The spindles taper from 15/16" in their center down to 1/2" at their ends. There are a total of 50 spindles. The front and back rails are pinned to the legs with brass rods allowing the crib to be disassembled for storage. The mattress platform can be lowered as the child grows.

I made this crib for our son 5 years ago. We finished it a day before he was born. Now, our third kid is sleeping in it! Thanks for all of your work.
Baby crib, without a doubt, is the most loved work-working project for a father!
Thank you!
Great stuff, Matt! Love how you just integrate the knots and shore them up vs. cutting around them.
Thank you Brad!
+Matthew Cremona at 17:20, what type/kind/brand paint did you use on that grey dresser? Love the look of it!
This is crazyyyy! Oh man, you are unbelievable! Great process, build, object design and video! And lovely baby you've got!
Thank you so much Christiana!
Brother, you are like, The Walnut Whisperer 😉. Masterfully done, buddy.
Sounds like a compliment to me! :) thank you Sean!
Sure thing.
You are a master of patience with those spindles! fantastic work! JR will grow up with woodworking in his blood!
Thank you James! Yes, he will be spending plenty of time in the shop :)
I made a crib a long time ago and it has served all of my kids. Mine is red oak and has so many mistakes and such but it was one of my earliest projects! I still have it in storage and perhaps it will serve grand kids one day. Excellent build and beautiful crib!

Awesome build, that router jig on the lathe is amazing! So many woodworking techniques in this video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Yeah there really are :)
That is one beautiful crib for one cute kid! Great video, Matt. Love the look of walnut and brass together.
Thank you Randy! I love the combo too. Going to have to do more of that in the future
Your attention to the detail that most people would never notice is probably what sets your work apart. The Nursery Series was awesome to watch.
Thank you so much Ted!
Absolutely beautiful Matt! Another cool thing is JR will be able to watch you make the crib when he gets older. :) Well done my friend.
Thank you so much Douglas!
Really nice build, awesome craftsmanship and a beautiful family!
Thank you Gerrit!
Awesome Awesome Awesome build Matt. Thats one to be super proud of.
Thanks Patrick!
Gorgeous crib. My husband and I just watched this.
Beautiful work, Matt! Honestly there are no words to describe the beauty within this piece of furniture especially since it was for your son. I'm sure a whole lotta love went into this as well. :)
Thank you Shawn! :)
Awesome work man. It's always the last piece in a batch operation where you find a better way.
Thank you Jay! Now I know for next time or now you know for when you make spindles on a lathe with a router.
Down the road, you'll be even prouder when you get to see your son put his son or daughter into that same crib!!!
That's going to be a very proud moment for me
This crib is pretty awesome. I love that a lot of your projects are built from trees that you milled yourself (something that I want to eventually do). its gotta be satisfying building something your own children will use.
Thank you! I'd say the most satisfying was the bassinet. Probably because that's in our bedroom and I got to see my son sleeping in it every day as I woke up.
Great to see you build. I watched the cradle and the crib today.
I've watched this video multiple times. I don't k ow what it is about this one, all of your videos are enjoyable, but this is my favorite.
Absolutely beautiful, Matt. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Dave!
So awesome! That is a really special build, you should be very proud! Your son is adorable! Thanks for sharing
Thank you Dan!
Watch out, big drop right in the middle 13:55! A work of art Matt, absolutely beautiful.
Haha don't worry, I wiped it up :) thank you Tyler!
Nice Work! I like the brass rods. I made four crib-bed combos for my grand kids. (I think you have seen them) I figured they could take them with them when they started their own families. Yes the spindles are the worse part. I can't believe they held a straight edge so you could turn them. I ended up throwing about a fifth of mine away. Actually kept them for other projects...you never know.
Awesome to see it all together in one video, I loved following along with this build :)
Thank you Henry!
NAILED IT!
Boom!
Man how things have changed in 6 years.... going back in time because my wife and I may be needing something like this soon.
Simple and elegant shaker design...I like the use of brass with walnut!
Thank you! I really like that combo
Gratifying work for such a wonderful necessity.
Thank you!
+Matthew Cremona Beautiful, hopefully your son will not masticate it when he begins teething in a year.
Great work, Matt. We had all been looking forward to this video. Good on you for a great build whose function is certainly so important.
Thank you so much Charles!
Beautiful work as usual matt
Thank you Dema!
So, so nice. Totally worth the effort!
Thank you Matt!
Amazing work, as usual, the crib looks great!
Thank you Matt
absolutely loved the crib. I have to add that being a mom myself (my kids are grown now), your little boy is adorable. Happy, cheerful babies come from happy parents. You do such incredible work and its a pleasure to watch you create such astounding works of art!!
Thank you so much Debra! Seeing this again, it's incredible how much he's changed since we recorded this 4 months ago. He's so much more animated and happy now :)
That was awesome man. Great job. I can't wait to start building things like this for my children when I have them.
Thank you!
That baby is so lucky. Imagine sharing a bedroom with such beautiful furniture!
haha! so true!
If everyone pursued this level of quality in their own projects, we'd probably have a case of world peace breaking out. I built a crib some years ago, i thought it was beautiful and well made, but after seeing this I realise mine was just a bunch of sticks. Very clever to design it to be bed heads later on. 10/10.
Thank you! That would be something! I'm sure yours was just fine :)
That is a beautiful heirloom piece Matt, i love the detail in your videos i always learn something. The spindle jig was cool.
Thanks Warren!
Matt the crib is amazing ! I love the fact that you start with crude hard wood and up to a final result following all the steps like resawing, milling, planing, etc.
Awesome job man, awesome !
Thank you so much! That's how I like to do things :)
+Matthew Cremona Good for all of us :-)
Absolute art. Just beautiful. Thanks for making these videos!
Thank you!!!
Absolutely beautiful and great craftsmanship. Nuf' said.
Thank you Robert!
Beautiful work Matt and your family is also! Keep up the great videos.
Jim
Thank you Jim!
Fantastic Matt. I learned a couple of new things on this one. Jr. is getting so big!
Thank you Jeremy! Glad to hear that. Yeah, that kid is growing like a weed!
Very Cool, Beautiful workmanship. Beautiful baby too. I really like the rocking crib too.
Thank you Marty!
Good job! Watching you wrestle the assembled crib down off the bench brought back great memories of me doing the same... except I'm 6'3" 😀
Thanks! That's a little more distance to the floor although, you probably have a greater arm span ;)
Nothing better than making something for someone you love (made a clock for my wife this Christmas). Something worth noting....there are certain sounds that are extremely fulfilling to the human ear: the sound of a basketball hitting nothing but net, the click of a fine camera as the shuttler opens/closes, and now, the sound of your son's voice as he looks at you and coos. I audibly gasped at the sound your tenon made as it slipped into the mortise. Nice work Matty!
Thank you! Those are great sounds! :)
Beautiful baby & beautiful crib!
Thank you!
Beautiful build Matt !
Thank you Tommy!
Man, that's a lot of work! I can't imagine ever having the patience to finish a project of this magnitude in the short amount of time that it's needed. My son would be graduating from high school before I finished it for him. That's cool that it can be adapted to be used as a bed in the future.
I'm surprised I got it done :) luckily for me, JR really likes the bassinet so that bought me some time. Thank you!
your work is amazing . i am always amazed the detail that you do you are really a inspiration to me and everyone else. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much!!!
Awesome project Matt. Great to see it come together.
Thanks Jared!
As usual you never fail to educate and entertain. Edutainment. Great project and video!
Thank you so much Dale!
Great job Matt. JR is growing quickly! It'll be bunk beds before you know it.
Well done Matt. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks Andy!
So impressive!! great work.
one of the most enjoyable and well explained woodworking guy I've come across.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much Josh!
Very in depth and well explained. Beautiful build and piece. I wish I could sleep in there ! Great job.
Thank you Matt! It's actually really comfortable
That is really awesome man. Wish I had all the tools and skill to make one.
Awesome build, you both look right at home in it!
Thank you Jim! It's pretty comfy in there
Excellent! You do amazing work Matt!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful and very well explained build, Matt!
Thank you Braxton!
Great video and the crib is beautiful, Matt!
Thank you so much, Steve!
Just freakin awesome Matt! Great job project, great video!
Thank you so much Guy!
dude you the best. love the slab to finish. You family is the luckiest to have you build custom home.
Thank you Anthony!
I just found out I'm gonna be a grandpa. Thank you for this video. Its beautiful. Great for ideas that I want to use. 👍🏻👍🏻 wow mind blowing job. I cant do everything you did. I dont have the tools. But amazing work. I hope you make good money off what you do. You deserve it.
Masterful. You have a great talent. Thanks for sharing it w us.
Thank you Hugo!
Absolutely beautiful build Matt! Jr looks like he approves!
Thank you Donny!
Wow, you really weren't kidding about those spindles being an epic job! But what a beautiful result.
Hahaha yup! :) thank you!!
The crib came out great!
+Avys Designs thanks!
Great work Matt and JR is looking great. Regards.
Thank you Ron!
Beautiful work. Great job on the recording and editing of the video as well; that must have taken many many hours on its own to produce. Very nice to watch.
Thank you so much. This was about a 30 hour edit. I think it's my longest edit ever.
That Crib is a work of art. Looks industrial strong and should last you threw the next 5 or 6 kids. Thumbs up, Matt.
Thank you so much! Yeah, hopefully I'll be good on cribs for a while :)
Fantastic job Matthew. Really enjoy your video's.
Thanks James!
Awesomeness.... great work on crib....🔨🔨
Thank you Robert!
Fantastic build Matt!
Thank you!
So much fun!
very nice Matt thanks for sharing
Thank you as always!
I wish I had your patience. Nice work, sir.
thank you Kyle!
Really awesome work, Matt!! The video was very enjoyable, I've liked so much the building process. JR deserves a crib like that. :) Regards!
Thank you!
man, JR is so cute. awesome crib matt, well done!
Thank you! I agree :)
Great work, Matt. And the crib is nice too.
:)
Thank you Howard!
Glad to see in come together. Looks great ... time to start on the junior bed. ;)
Thanks John! yeah, they grow fast :)
Keep up the great work!!
This will be my first child and I cant wait to try to build the crib. I have always wanted to do it but my woodwork skills are not the best but I am sure that with this videos help I can do it in 6 months. Thanks Matt!!!
Have fun Paul!
Beautiful work Matt. Awesome band saw btw ;)
Thanks Matt! Glad you like it :)
I was wonder how you were going to turn all of those spindles, I like it. Awesome project and video!
I wish they would have just turned themselves :) Thank you!
That's cool being able to be in the crib with your boy. I tried that with my 7 month son and I could feel the crib wanting to break and I was only about a quarter inside.
Thanks! We did the whole family in the crib thing. It was a lot of fun :)
This is amazing!! Great video.
+Jeff Michels thanks!
Awesome work, Matt. It has been fun to watch the progress of this build and your cute kiddo! Best of luck in 2016.
Thank you so much!
Really cool, Matt. I've made a crib couple years ago for a customer and I hoped I won't have to make it again atleast until I will need one for my family, but last year I had to build one for my sister and the second went quite a lot easier and faster, quite unexpectedly :)
Haha! That's how it works :) thank you!
Great Job Matt, that is one lucky kiddo. I like your treatment with the spindles and the contrasting colors. That is going to be a family heirloom. Nicely done "dovetail master" ;) PDMC!
Thank you Brian!
holy cow thats incredible
Thank you Quinn!
beautiful project, man, beautiful, congratulations
Thank you!!
Great job man. Very nice.
Thank you Patrick!
Nice job Matt. Beautiful piece. Hey I got a set of those white/black 12V drills for Christmas!
Thanks Mike! They're a nice size. I like them a lot
Nice work!
What a beautiful, cherubic baby you and Lindsay (Lindsey?) made! Crib looks great...I love the metal pins, and walnut is always a classy and classic choice of wood. Nice to "overbuild" it to support the weight of an adult.
Thank you! Lindsay is a great mom :) I figure when he's big enough to be jumping up and down in there the support structure needs to be able to handle that abuse. Plus, it's been nice for all of us to climb in there and hang out with him
awsome project. love the details
Thank you!
Absolutely excellent, Beautiful...
Cheers...
Thank you Adam!
Great piece of furniture bud. Glad to see you carried on the long legacy of wood workers definitely marrying Up
Thank you Brendon!
Wonderful bed! Wonderful kid!
Thank you!
Great build Matt. I couldn't help but wonder where you learned all these techniques for milling, making jigs, and assembling techniques. Your work processes for woodworking is amazing and quite practical. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you so much, Jim! With each new project comes opportunities to try and learn new things.
