I need your help and ideas. My daughter just announced she is pregnant due
in October.
I have seen some very beautiful cradle's posted here and at ABPW. I don't
care much for what Google has to offer.

Links to your stuff is far better IMHO. Plans aren't necessary as I will
make changes in flight and a touch of senior dyslexia makes them hard to
follow anyway.

Congratulations to your daughter !

It depends on the type she wants (and the father!) Rocking or pendulum.

I posted mine few weeks ago in ABPW (pendulum type).

I've made upward of fifty cradles - GI, where everyone's breeding - and the
best, in my opinion, are the swinging type. Easier in/out, easier for mom
or dad to hang an arm off the bed to swing it than to rock one.

Last I built was capable of being shipped in a 38 x 22 x 6" thick box.
Makes it easier to store for the next, not to mention ship to the kid in
Germany.

I have a cradle I designed on my website:
www.the-wildings.com/shop/furniture/
It made it in Fine Woodworking a few years back.
Due to popular demand, I also created plans for this that I sell.

I have ideas sketched for 2 or 3 other cradles that i want to build some
day, but there is never enough time.

Let me know if you have any questions.

There are a couple on my web page, one swinging, one floor model. I may
have additional photos of them in construction if it would help.

I'll repeat myself. Make a rocking chair. A cradle looks nice,
and everybody will ooh and aah over it. Then the kid will out grow it
very shortly, and it's gonna be in the way, or stored, kinda a PITA
either way. Rock the kid to sleep in a rocker, then he/she'll sleep
anywhere. Then mom/dad can sit in the rocker and relax for a few
minutes. And, the rocker can be used for years. Think about it. We
didn't have a cradle OR a rocker when my sons were little - but thinking
back, I sue wish we'd had a decent rocking chair, partly for those times
one of 'em would scream every time he stopped bing held, and absolutely
refused to go to sleep if whoever was holding him didn't walk. A cradle
would never have worked, but a rocker sure would have, and sure as Hell
would have been a lot less work then having to walk back and forth until
the kid went to sleep.

Here is a link to the construction of a swinging cradle (actually 2) that I
designed and built.

http://home.comcast.net/~robritch/page8.htm

Also here is a link to some pictures after they were completed. These two
were with 1” thick material and flat end panels. I have since made 1
additional when my son was born that was cherry with round spindles, raised
panel ends and ¾” stock. I have plans in AutoCAD format that I can send if
you are interested

http://home.comcast.net/~robritch/page7.htm

Or, you can do like a lot of people do and build both . . .
