The hood of this antique inspired piece, with its gracefully scrolled facia, is designed after an 18th century original...clearly heirloom in quality. The heart motif in the footboard can add a country decorative touch, but is optional. All joinery is done with pegs, as the original would have been -- this cradle will serve its purpose, but will also display your skills. We consider it an intermediate project, but this photo was sent by a self-proclaimed "beginner" named Bruce Prisuta.
Finished size is 36" long and 29" tall.
This is a blueprint style plan which is heralded by beginners and experts alike as being a pleasure to work from because all parts are printed in full size -- all joinery is shown in actual size, curved workpieces are all in full size, therefore you can measure and trace straight from the drawing if necessary. A list of materials doubles as an exact cutting list, there is a detailed exploded diagram, and all hardware requirements are provided. The exploded diagram is so detailed that project specific assembly instructions are not provided. A special booklet entitled Guide to Building Wood Furniture is included with each Furniture Designs, Inc. plan and it includes many tips explaining the "component theory" of woodworking.
