Popular Post cowboyup3371 Posted October 18, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 My daughter asked me to build a changing table on 1 August after the one she bought from Amazon broke as they started to assemble it. Of course I said yes but couldn't start it until mid-August and so spent anywhere from 4 to 10 hours a day in the shop. I wasn't able to finish it before my granddaughter arrived on 1 Oct but I finally delivered it last night. There are 28 mortise and tenon joints, 4 sets of hand cut dovetails, and 6 scroll work pieces adapted from Steve Goode's patterns (daughter asked me to use fairies in the design). There's also a LED light in the back with a dimmer so they doesn't have to use the overhead light at night.

FrankEV Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Congrats again! Beautiful changing table. Did you design the table yourself? Looks like all Red Oak, yes? Gonna bug you about just one thing. It may be just my imagination, or maybe the camera angle the pic was taken, but the shelf behind the glass door does not seem to be level? When I had my shop in NC, I made tables, a westminister clock, a large gun display cabinet, a large jewelry armore and many more. Also did a lot of wood turning. Unfortunately I had to give that all up along with the shop when I moved to Florida. No capability to make furniture in my tiny shop, so I can only do small projects. That's why I'm now a Scroller!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm now a Scroller!!!!!! I used the Amazon table as a starting point then adjusted things to include adding the scroll work; their table had "boxes" made from the same material as the hamper which I changed to actual drawers. The door in front of the two interior shelves is my idea and yes, they were level when I checked them in the shop. I originally wanted to put a lock on it but that died off when I saw the execution didn't work as well as my thoughts. It is made from red oak with a piece of 1/4" walnut ply behind the larger scroll work on the hamper door. This is like the one I started from: https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Changing-Laundry-Storage-Baskets/dp/B005OSHTXO/ref=sr_1_5?crid=618ETNX4U6BL&dchild=1&keywords=kinbor+baby+changing+table&qid=1634613470&sprefix=kinbor%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-5 Edited October 19, 2021 by cowboyup3371 FrankEV and meflick 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
