Crib Plans – Review
Hi Stephen here and you’re reading my uncensored view of what I really thought of Woodworking 4 You’s Crib Plans
Why am I writing this? Well when I was thinking about buying it there weren’t really many reviews around so I thought I would write one quickly to help any of you, who are in the same position as I was.
But be warned I am going to go into the good and the bad points so if that’s something you might not want to hear, then you may want to leave right now but I think it’s only fair to give you a true summary of it.
After looking around at baby cribs and looking at the ones available I decided to check out building my own. There were so many advantages it seemed crazy not to. I had a look online to find what crib plans I could get. I saw that there are loads of them online and that a lot of them are free. I had a look at them and some of them were OK but most of them were really hard to follow, or the crib plans weren’t detailed enough, there were no pictures, no support to help following them either. So after looking at all the free ones and a lot of researching but finding them to be pretty useless on the whole I found these

It is a fantastic book of plans for all sorts of wood projects including crib plans. You can use whichever materials you want and they take you through every step from a list of what you need, step by step plans and loads of diagrams and pictures along with the plans so you can make sure you’re doing it right.
I was a little worried about paying money for something that is available free on the internet but these crib plans had a money back guarantee. I figured that I couldn’t go wrong. Still, money is money so I was prepared to take advantage of that guarantee. I didn’t have to worry though. I’ve got some experience but I’m no expert, and I could follow the crib plans real easy. There’s even video instruction available too! They were definitely better than the free ones I saw.
One thing I didn’t like so much was the fact this was an online product and it’s not always easy for me to have the computer in the garage where I work on stuff. But my wife printed out all the information I needed for the crib plans so I could take it with me, and if I got problems I could come on back in and watch the videos.
I saved a load by making my son’s baby crib, even including the cost of this product. For the sake of a few bucks I had crib plans I could really use. They were great and I was amazed how easy and quick it was to build my son’s baby crib. He was a little earlier than planned but because it was so easy to build it from the plans we were ready!
