Building furniture for a child is a special pleasure for a woodworker. And because kids need safe and durable furniture sized to their needs, furniture for them presents special challenges, too. Childrens Furniture Projects provides a mix of projects that has something for woodworkers of all skill levels. The ten projects--ranging from a fanciful rocking dinosaur to sturdy childrens beds--are designed to help make the childrens room as well furnished as any other room in the house. Many of these projects have knockdown construction, which makes the pieces easy to store once they are outgrown. Detailed step-by-step instructions and photos explain how to construct durable furniture that will last a whole childhood, including: an elegant rocking cradle a chair that doubles as a toy a solid heirloom crib a Tyrannosaurus rocker an ample and practical toy chest
Anything by Jeff Miller is good stuff. The projects are things you have seen before but Jeff thinks about child safety and has done his research. The last thing you would want to do is make something unsafe for kids. Excellent book, buy it.
Really cool ideas!

Jeff is a master in doing practical and beautifull things. I built some of the stuff shown in the book for my baby girl and it worked out great! I'm a weekend woodworker and I enjoy this book very much! I love to build stuff for my kid, so this book will be by my side for quite a long time. There are instructions for a cradle, a bed, some chairs, tables, a creepy rocking dinasour, a big box for the toys (really handy!) and so on.
