Default swinging crib

Sun, Sep 17, 2006, 9:20pm (EDT+6) (Eddie) doth
proudly proclaimeth:
Hi all, Just found out that I am going to be a granddad! our first
grandchild! I wonder if any of you good fellows have any plans for
making a swinging crib? I would just love to make one for my grandchild.
Eddie..

Not sure if you mean a swinging "cradle", or what. In either case
I'd say foget it. The kid's going to outgrow it in a short time, then
it's just gonna take up room. Make a rocking chair instead. Then mon
can sit down for a few minutes, get the kid to sleep, and then put the
kid down anywhere and he/she will sleep. No prob. Then mon can sit
down again. A rocker can be used for years and years - by anyone, even
the kid. Cradles look cutesy and sound appealing, but unless you're
gonna have a kid a year, or get rid of it as soo ad the kid outgrows it,
I don't think they're worth the bother. As you may be able to tell, i'm
not a huge fan of cradles, swinging or not. Rocking chairs all the way.

I am not paranoid. I do not "think" people are after me. I "know" damn
well they're after me.
