Baby Change Table
This is a change table for my first grandchild.
As these things have a limited useful life I made it so that it can convert to another use. You might notice that the legs are in two parts with the join about 6" from the top. This is so that when my daughter has no use for it as a change table she can easily cut off the top section ( it just has a dowel and glue joint) and it converts into a serving trolley for the barbecue. The wood is Tasmanian Silky Oak, the castors are lockable. The finish is oil and wax. Mekon -- Mekon |

Making it a multipurpose table is a good idea. |

The conversion caught me by surprise - but I probably should have expected that you'd have it reappear in Act II. :-) Good thinking. -- Morris Dovey DeSoto Solar DeSoto, Iowa USA http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/ |

Making it a multipurpose table is a good idea. I think the timber for that was well under $100, probably not much more than $60. It is a hardwood, nice tight grain and I think it will stand being outside as long as she keeps the wax up to it! Mekon -- Mekon |

Thanks It shouldn't be too hard to convert back again either, should the need arise. Now I am working on the cradle, it will be made of silver ash. Mekon -- Mekon |

Let's hope she has a good sense of time... Not something you'd want to do early. Throwing the baby out with the barbecue? Mekon -- Mekon |
