Riiiight.  All those laws and guidelines are pure BS.  It's not because kids were hurt or killed at all.  I'm not discouraging the OP from building the crib.  Obviously I made one for my own kids.  ...

Rockler has a good selection of crib hardware.  At least they did when I made my daughter's crib 10 years ago.  I went with a fold down side, and metal brackets for the adjustable height.  All the stu...

Cutting boards are fast and easy to make, and are always appreciated when given as gifts. Also I find my kids love using them as blocks, or gluing them together in random arrangements.
