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 dresser
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...
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

well guys and gals, been busy as hell and trying to get some stuff on the bed done. a few more pics
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
