Second, the WD-40 helps prevent rust by forming a thin protective barrier, albeit one that must be constantly renewed to be effective. Other people will disparage WD-40 (I once did). Ignore them.

That said, you also want to avoid the tools that are loaded with lots of gizmos and features (with the price tag to match). In general, tools with lasers, bubble levels, wrist straps, micro-adjustable doo-dads and digital readouts are not necessary for accurate work. In fact, they might actually make life harder for you.

Sorry to say not all of the free plans offered online are not really without charge; this is in view of the fact that they do not contain the complete set of instructions. The truth is that the free plan is only a sort of sample plan. This supposed to be free plan is only designed to entice people to patronize the plan and sign up for it. For that reason, it would be better if you check out all the available resources and examine each one of them to know which one is really the perfect one for you.

When you are downloading bunk bed plans, I urge you to consider purchasing a set a quality plans. In the past I have seen many people fail including myself, simply because we have used a set of low quality build plans. The simple truth is, you don’t get anything for free, and when it comes to building beds for children, it’s not a good idea to try to cut corners, simply to save a little bit of money.

Eventually, we think you will outgrow this approach to construction as your skills improve. I bet you will want a table saw someday. And a drill press. And a smoothing plane. When that day comes, however, you will also have a house full of well-proportioned, well-built projects under your belt. You will be ready for those awesome tools, and the learning curve will be mercifully shorter.

So they buy more tools and machines.

Again, you never want to just blindly choose your plans, especially for such an important task. You will want to ensure that your plans have been drafted by a true professional. Your plans should be crystal clear to understand and follow. They should include a list of all materials and tools required to build your crib or cradle. And above all, they need to be safe, safe, safe.

Building a baby’s crib, cradle, or bassinet with your own two loving hands, using top quality wood and rock solid plans, puts you in an immediate position to leave a legacy for future generations. Imagine your grandchildren passing this crib along to their children. And them to theirs. And so on. If your creation was built to last, there is a very strong likelihood that this will happen. In essence, if you do it right, you’re not just building a nice bed for your baby to sleep in. You’re creating a family heirloom!
