Project by Alan F. Kelsey

BUILT to the dimensions
given, this makes an attractive and
somewhat different baby cradle; cut the
dimensions in half and you have an
equally pleasing doll cradle. Start the
construction by gluing-up the lumber in
the square to the sizes shown at lower
left. Next, cut the compound miters.
setting the miter gage at 75-1/2 degrees
and tilting the saw table 43-1/4 degrees.
These are the proper angles for a side
tilt of 15 degrees. Bevel all bottom
edges 15 degrees, and then band and
scroll saw all curved edges. Assemble the
sides and ends with screws under wood
plugs. The size of bottom is taken from
the work, and overhangs 1 inch all
around, moulded with style B moulding
head knife. The rockers are a straight
job of band sawing, and are mounted with
screws and wood brackets. |
