So glad to see a Sam Maloof inspired bassinet being built! I knew Sam and worked at the first museum to put together a traveling exhibition of his work. The 2nd stop was the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC where one of his signature rocking chairs was donated. I hope you get to tour his home. it is a treasure! Congratulations on your bundle of joy!
Still watching the video, but thank you for acknowledging the different guidelines out there that could potentially get wood workers in trouble. I've had several crib request and I just can't bring myself to take the risk. Even outside the legal risk, I couldn't stand thinking I did something wrong to hurt someone else's kid.
Mhak refdan66 i didn't make plans, but all measurements were based on the mattress 15" wide, and 33" long. From there i built the base, side caps, stretches, and spindles. Then I took measurements of both my wife and I to figure out how tall to make the legs

Phillip Rowland agreed. But I did do a weight stress-test with my dog. Didn't document that just in case PETA comes after me haha.
Chronic Woodwork haha. Looks great either way!
How long did you steam the slats., it is beautiful.
ihoppoet thank you and thanks for watching. Rule of thumb is 1 hour per inch of thickness, so 15 min for these 1/4” slates. I’d recommend 20.

Sorry. I specifically said in the video I would not provide any plans due to liability reasons. Too sensitive of a build/purpose.
