    Default Doll's cot and quilt

    First real project, a doll's cot in jarrah, finished with hard shellac, for my niece's birthday. The quilt was made by my lady friend. Plenty of stuff-ups, and a few more gaps than I'd like, but a happy customer in the end.

    If that's your first project, where have I gone wrong? It looks first class.
    What sort of joints have you used on all the rails?

    Looks very tidy and you have a Triton Vise inside the house so you must have a nice lady friend too

    Dominos - I'll happily admit to being an all the gear and some idea woodworker. I started out using only hand tools, and wasn't getting far. The Domino is magic for just getting stuff done. The legs are from a half-finished kitchen table that I've had sitting around for ages, which is why they are tapered - I took the bottom half for the cot, top half for a coffee table I'm starting on.

    The only real issue with the finished product is gaps between the headboards and the legs. If I was going to do it again I'd probably rout a groove in the legs for the headboards to sit in. And the curly grain in the raised panels is oriented in opposite directions in the head and foot.

    There's probably a reason we're not living together yet . That said, she hasn't run screaming, so I think she's a keeper.

    Nicely done......Love it
    And my head I'd be a scratchin'
    While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
    If I only had a brain.
