OMG, what beautiful workmanship, I just love the lines on that crib, the legs and feet are very unusual and beautiful. Your grandson is one very lucky child to have a granddad who can do that kind of work. Imagine what his soapbox racer could look like, LOL. Wish you lived closer, you could build me a mega dresserlaughing.gif

WOW I am amazed! You do awesome work...back in the day my Dad used to be in architectural wood working, drew everything by hand, then with computers and printers and such his job kinda faded away...

You do some amazing work!

Pazzo does great work
but this is what i do all day


it is not as easy as it may look you can get cramps from
 doing it and yes body parts fall asleep so you have to get
 up and walk around abit. But its my craft and i thought i should share it with everyone

this last one is the very top rail that curves with the top of the legs. it started out a rectangle @ 1 1/2" x 5 1/4". a little work with the sander and it gets rounded, the cove and all cuts done on the table saw

well guys and gals , bed has about 2 hrs worth of work left. then 4 coats of flat lacquer . oh this ungodly old beast is a square bore chisel machine from the early 50's. it gives you a total body work out
