Matthew Hagans Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Congratulations. My daughter just advised baby 3 is due this August. So Cradle building is in my spring plans too. I was looking at your hardware. Any thoughts to get away from the hook and eye hook? I'd like to think of a more elegant assy, but nothing comes to mind.

ZXTMike Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 They hook and eye hook actually makes the cradle swinging motion very smooth and quiet. The cradle also lifts out very easily for transport and storage. I would have liked to use smaller versions so I could close the gap a little between the legs and the cradle ends. I also thought of adding some type of cover over the hardware, but I ran out of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
