A Doll's Cradle
Hi all...
Just finished this doll's cradle for my granddaughter...
i made it from some recycled timber from an old cupboard I demolished... Then a bit of gloss enamel, a few stickers and my wife made the bedding etc....
Since I have to take it to Singapore on Thursday, I also made it a flatpack....

A holy ( might be holey) head screw has a hole formed in the head of the screw to allow a small mushroom shaped plastic cover to hide the screw head .
As i could not see any screws in your assembled flat pack. I thought you might have used them or something similar.I've just become an optimist . Iv'e made a 25 year plan -oopps I've had a few birthdays - better make that a 20 year plan

Top Job "RobSys", A very nice piece of woodwork.
Your grand-daughter will be very pleased with your fine efforts.
Well done on the "flat pack" too, very clever.
Cheers, Crowie

Hi Peter... Now I know what you mean... Originally Posted by Peter36

Actually, I just painted the screw heads...
