Baby Change Table

[DavidW]

I am under orders to produce a result from all the tools I have been buying recently. A bit unreasonable I thought but whats a bloke to do. To keep the peace I am chasing a plan for a baby change table. I have found one or two but but would like a few option to give the boss.

Any assistance appreciated.

Hi David

I made one for our own use three year ago and here's the a drawing of it.
The corpi (?? the boxes with shelves in it) are made of MDF the doors and drawers are made of beech. The two doors measure 80 by 40 and the drawer section is 43 cm wide. The working height is higher than most but I really like that, it much easier on the back. I can make more pictures and get more measures if you want.

Hi Jasper.

Are you really in the Netherlands, or do you live in one of the southern states? :)

No I live in the version that's a country in Europe.

So what's "the Netherlands" in southern Australia?

Well hello there, I don't think I've ever bumped into anyone who hails from that part of the world before (on this BB :) ).

How long is it since your country was officialy called Holland?

People who live in the state of Victoria (my state) are sometimes called Mexicans by the people who live in the more notherly states, because we live "south of the border". :D

I thought Netherlands may have been another reference to people living in the lower part of OZ. ;)

Ben, as a former citizen of the Netherlands, I can assure you that it has never been officially called Holland.

It has always been " The Netherlands " or by its formal and correct name " Kingdom of the Netherlands" or in Dutch "Het Koningkreik Der Nederlanden".

Holland ( both North and South ) are provinces, albeit the most important ones, of that country. To call it Holland is the same as if everybody overseas called Australia by the name of its 2 most important states Victoria and NSW. :D :D :D

Hi Ben

The Netherlands has 12 provinces, two of these are North and South Holland. These two were once a country called Holland. But the Netherlands as it is now has never been called anything but the Netherlands. Foreigners keep calling it Holland. Partly because we still assume they won't know the Netherlands and keep telling them we're from Holland. Come to think of it my previous picture did not do much good either in that respect: most wooden shoes are sold in Amsterdam to tourists, windmills we keep for sentiment (we do use the modern windmills for energy), we do grow flowers (in the province North Holland mainly), and we do eat and make a lot of cheese.

As for the fact that I'm a little far away from you people, yes I am. I don't think I'll be attending any of your woodworkingshows, the powertool sections are not always very usefull (I've never seen any tool called Triton), some of the woodspecies are not very common here. But other than that I love the board and find the info really helpfull.

Jasper

Just notticed Peter already posted a reply. Although I don't agree on the fact that North and South Holland are the most important provinces. But since Peter is from Amsterdam (North Holland) he would have to say that.:D

Jasper,

In that case we better enlighten you. A Triton workcentre is a workbench made by an Aussie company that converts a power saw into either a docking saw or a table saw. They also make many additions to that bench to allow better use of that workcentre as well as the best router and router table.

See their website for more information.http://www.triton.net.au/front.shtml

Turns out they have a dutch website and everything. Looks like they just started though. Maybe in a couple of years I'll join the Triton forum. At the risk of being thrown of the forum: it looks like a yellow B&D Workmate.:rolleyes:

David, sorry for messing up your thread.

[DavidW]

Thanks for all the replies, I will pass the examples on to the boss and announce the winner later.

Cyclops, no worries mate it's rare that a thread doesn't wander of in some weird direction, it's part of what gives this site its character.
