How Do You Build A Round Baby Crib?
One way to keep an eye on the baby in a crib is to build a round one. This makes it possible to see the baby from any angle of the room. Round cribs must meet safety standards. This means the space between the spindles cannot exceed 2 3/8 inches and the spindles must be 26 inches above the mattress. The good thing about building a round crib for your child is the railing comes ready-made. All you have to do is drill the holes for the spindles. Set the 48-by-48-by-3/4-inch medium density fiberboard on a work table along with the piece of 1/4-inch lattice. Put the 72-inch straightedge on corners that are catty-corner from each other on the fiberboard. Draw a line from corner to corner. Repeat this with other two corners to mark the center of the material. Drill a hole through the lattice 1 inch from one end with the 1/16-inch drill bit. Measure from that hole, mark the lattice at 24 inches, and drill another hole in the lattice. Place the first hole on the center point of the fiberboard.
