So, I'm going to be a grandpa! It's about time.

But that means I need to make something of wood and have it done by
early August!

I'm thinking of a crib that will convert into a bed and when I search
for one, the Rockler "3-in-1 Transitional Bed Plan" seems to dominate.
It looks doable and, with some modifications, like something I'd like
to make for my grandchild. But are there other, better designs out
there?

Anyone else make any woodworking projects for a grandbaby that you'd
like to share, especially ones that are practical from day one through
the child's life? Let me know any suggestions you might have, please .

JOAT recommended a child's rocking chair the other day. We had an
antique one given to us, and my kids got far more use out of it than
they did the cradle I built. But hey, you have time to do both,
right?
