Review on U Bild 599 Country Cradle Project by Dave Connelly

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good plan. BUT. suitable for power tool parts and accessories

I work at a hobby woodworker and wanted to improve my skills and take on something more challenging. When I got this the plans looked straight forward and it really doesn't require much equipment. I used tracing paper to transfer the plan drawings onto the tree. I checked the dimensions and double checked before sawing. The finished product looks great. However, getting the bottom of the crib right is a big problem because if you follow the plan it won't easily fit on the rails. Disappointing. I bought several plans before completing this one and now I'm wondering if I'll have these issues with all of them. I'm giving this product three stars because I've been able to switch plans and create something that I can use, but one question I can't answer is how much weight it can hold. It would be nice if such details were included.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No achievement
