LEGS...
OK. Legs for the crib are nearly done. What remains is to drill some more holes, and do a final sanding. It's taking a long time, since there are lots of holes in these things, with lots of weird counterbores. This is partly so the height of the mattress can be adjusted to 4 different heights, and also partly because it requires holes in different places when set up as a crib, versus a toddler bed, versus a full-size bed. The holes not used get covered by bolt caps. My drill press doesn't have enough travel to get all the way through one of these legs in one stroke, so it's about a 5 minute process to do each counterbored hole. Once these babies are done, it should go quite a bit quicker, because the rest is mostly just cut, rout, sand...
