Reclaimed Barnwood Bassinet

This is a bassinet I built from reclaimed barn wood, specifically old wormy chestnut. This baby cradle turned out great and will be an heirloom in someone's family for generations.

[@GotItMade]

Hamlin!!! Great to hear from you. Thanks for watching!

I sure could have used this 19 months ago. Now he's a little big for it. Great job Feddy!

[@GotItMade]

Shemp!!!! Thanks for checking in! I appreciate the encouragement.

[@duramaxmak]

When I first say this video pop up I thought you where expecting. Great piece and what a great use of such old wood.

[@GotItMade]

Hey now... I have made a few good decisions in my life. A vasectomy was one of them.... :-)

That thing is beautiful! Love the wormy wood.

[@GotItMade]

Bruce!!! Thanks for checking in and watching. Great to hear from you!

[@homesteadonomics]

Fantastic job and love the rocker mechanism you fabricated too! Joe

[@rmpennin]

Your editing has started to remind me a lot of Jay Bates, which I personally love. Not sure if you got the idea from him or just tried something new, but personally the speed is great. So many people spend way too much time on repetitive stuff and this one really kept my attention, thanks!

[@opasworkshop8373]

Feddie that was awesome. I just love that wormy Chestnut 👍👍

[@GotItMade]

Opa! Thanks for checking it out!

[@marystark5890]

this is the most beautiful crib I have ever seen I won't this for my first grandchild

[@tannernewton8543]

I'm pretty sure I have already posted something similar on another one of your videos but, man all your tools look brand new!!!

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for watching Tanner. I try to take care of my stuff and keep em clean everytime I use them.

[@claythompson8496]

Very nice cradle! Loved the joinery you used.

[@stevenosarczuk1203]

I bought the plans and made a version of this bassinet out of New Zealand Kauri wood and 100 year old foundry maple for my soon to arrive grandson.The plans were great. Thanks so much. Wish I could send you a photo.. not sure how.

[@clyde8drive]

Nice job Feddie, I know its a pain to film and edit it all, but we do love the work and the craftsmanship. Thanks again.,

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Clyde! I appreciate the encouragement!

[@dessertman1181]

Feddie looks like you guys had fun very well done your buddy in AZ👍👍👍👍👍

[@GotItMade]

Good to hear from you Dessert! I appreciate the loyalty and the views!

[@davidheizer5887]

[@GotItMade]

[@GotItMade]

Thanks, Andy. Really appreciate the kind words and the view.

[@rasmussenranch2393]

blazingnailgun how do i get your plans to build this bassinet?? I can not see a link

[@blakebarker1784]

Great build! Enjoy all of them! The smoke detector still gets ya every time! We need more videos!

[@sgsax]

Love how this wood looks. And those timbers for the legs must have been massive.

[@GotItMade]

I appreciate the kind words and encouragement, Seth!

[@danlynch1154]

Freddie this is beautiful! Thanks.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks!

[@MickWoodworking]

A really nice looking project Freddie

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Mick. Good to hear from you!

[@BradleyMakesThings]

This came out great! Love that wood, and the build itself was cool. Thanks for sharing sir!

[@GotItMade]

Carter!!!! Thanks for checking it out!

[@debtortobetter]

+blazingnailgun LOL - "sorry about that, I've got a Carter County helper here with me." I grew up in Sullivan County so this made me grin. I live not too far away in Southwest Virginia now, so when you say you have an accent, I think to myself, "what accent?" ;) Great project. Thanks for sharing!

[@GotItMade]

Barry!!!! I'm sure we kicked some of the same dirt. I am in the Bristol/Bloutville area. Grew up in Sullivan County too. SSHS boy. I'm betting we have crossed paths somewhere along the way!

[@debtortobetter]

I graduated from Central and much of my family's still in the area (I'm just a few miles north now). I'm in Blountville all the time. Great place to live, even with all the fancy new stuff they're getting. Heck, I heard they're putting in a Hardee's next to Pal's. BIG CITY! Ha!

[@BillSinWorkshop]

Awesome and unique project!!! I liked the reclaimed wood option...

[@GotItMade]

Bill!!! Thanks for checking it out!

[@MarkChristopherpens]

Fantastic job Feddie! I have a new grandson & the kids wanted me to build a bassinet, looks like I'll be going with your plans :) Cheers from Nova Scotia Mark

[@GotItMade]

Mark!!!! Thanks for checking in. Glad you liked the vid!

[@IanMossMakeMoss]

Great stuff as always Feddie and the outtakes are funny!

[@GotItMade]

Ian!!! Thanks for checking it out!

[@charlesholland6851]

sweet project! Festool is great on a lot of tools. nothing wrong with being able to afford the good stuff

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for the kind words, Charles. I really appreciate it!

[@ttfweb1]

Nice project. By the way, I used your videos to install a new staircase and railing a while back. They were super helpful. Thanks.

[@GotItMade]

Yes!!! Thanks for watching, TTF. Send me some picks of your projects! [e-mail]

[@ke.gardner7156]

It looks great. I enjoyed watching.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Keith!

[@briantant9269]

Really nice work. Gonna have to get some more tools

[@ReflectingMe2024]

Wow sir, this is absolutely superb! Thumbs up and subscribed. I am useless at diy but I have my first grandchild on the way so may have an attempt at this.

[@professormorriarty8311]

What a great crib!

[@GotItMade]

Thanks!

[@lylekobberstad8571]

Beautiful bassinet!

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Lyle!

[@bigjoe2458]

you have some fantastic expensive machines. I like them. I made a bassinet too but I just wanted to see how you did the swinging mechanism. thanks

[@Retroweld]

Wow! That's turned out awesome. You even had a little welding in there. Take care of that hat! LOL

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for checking it out Doug. Yeah, I thought it was cool to fab those brackets/hinges. Wish I had more occasion to TIG though. That is definitely a "practice makes perfect (or makes you suck a little less)" skills. Digging that longboard you did. Don't break a leg!

[@digantshah1116]

Thank you for sharing. Liked and subscribed.

[@zacdavis440]

Good work! Looks beautiful. Whoever it's going to best have a whole mess of kids!

[@GotItMade]

Hahaha. Thanks for watching!

[@nickstan8704]

[@GotItMade]

Thanks!!! I appreciate the kind words!

[@BrianArmas]

Beautiful, Sir.

[@jimbusby6584]

Do you have plans for this. Great build for upcoming grand kids.

[@saeedaosman3510]

excellent job!!!....i loved it.

[@martyweatherup6474]

I tried going to your website to download the plans but kept getting redirected to some other website with no bassinet plans.

[@rociosuarezreyes633]

Excelente trabajo ,el final me encanto jajaja

[@JeffBurr]

I always enjoy your videos. I always learn something and always laugh out loud. Today's laugh was that shocker stick, is this the first time is been in a video?

[@GotItMade]

Jeff!!!! Thanks for checking in. Great to hear from you man. Yeah, The Shocker has been in the last couple of vids. Going to start producing them for sale soon. :-)

[@AeroSport103]

Very nice! Take care, be safe!

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for checking in, Ironheart! Good to hear from you.

[@lazerblade2]

Hey, the link doesn't work anymore. Any chance you still have those Sketchup plans?

[@hdwoodshop]

Was looking for the plans, but it was a dead link. Can you please tell us where to find plans?

[@w5family717]

Great. Amazing. AWESOME!!! Do you have a video/tour of your shop layout and all of your Tools? I enjoy your videos.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for the kind words, W5. I don't really have a shop tour vid. They always bore the crap out of me when other folks do them so I have kinda stayed away from them. :-)

[@nanascraftycornerdonna6618]

It’s beautiful

[@tooljunkie555]

its been a while Feddie!👍💥 glad to see ur still making vids and building beautiful projects like this!-if i had the $id buy alot of the festools. "i dont hate,,,i appreciate " ;) whats next?

[@GotItMade]

Joe!!!!1 Good to hear form you man. Thanks for watching. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to accumulate some very nice equipment over the years. Very grateful!

[@tooljunkie555]

***** one of these days i do wanna get a domino..such a cool tool👍👍💥

[@kevinwarren6920]

First grandson on the way! Can’t wait to get started! Where do I find the plans?

[@urbanbowhunter926]

Are the as-built drawings still available

[@blackceazar1]

Likewise the sun seems to have no limits here. It's good to hear from you! I thinking of doing a video, but I am not quite sure how to go about it. I only have a cell phone and a digital camera. I will do research though.

[@GotItMade]

Do it!!!

[@albertqss]

Great job and a beautiful piece. I stole an idea or two from this build when I made a cradle for my grandson a couple months ago. I am curious, how much did you sell this for? Thank you

[@AdventuresInDIY]

Awesome Feddie! Fun ending :)

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for checking it out and for checking in. Great to hear from you!

[@simplediyr]

Amazing build. I'm thinking of building one too ;-)

[@GotItMade]

Heck yeah! Lemme know how it turns out!

[@GotItMade]

Heck yeah! Lemme know how it turns out!

[@marcomontelongo1024]

I try to tap on the link so I can download the plans and I keep getting ads. All I want are the plans!

[@rickb9342]

I had to download Sketch Up to open the plans, but only see the 3D picture. Where can I find the parts list?

[@akami307]

How much wood do i need, what kind of nails, length and bread should i cut

[@smacnp]

If ordering plans, how long will it take to mail out?

[@nicolewhiteman4876]

Very nice 👍🏾

[@adamw2621]

I really like those dog clamps on your work bench. They look like they have an easy lock mechanism but also durable. Great video as well. I love reclaimed wood furniture. What kind of wood glue is that, just TiteBond 1? Thanks again for the video.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for the view, Adam. I really appreciate it. Yep, just Titebond....

[@johnseymour8214]

Love it, know any place to buy the swing mechanism. Might be hard for me to fabricate

[@juansepulveda7718]

I'm just starting out. I need to build a stand for my miter saw. My space is very limited. Any ideas brother

[@karanbhatt5963]

Wonderful build! Did you progressively increase the domino slots as you drilled for the rails? Thanks

[@xanokothe]

I wanna ask... It's dangerous for the baby to stand up near the rail and fall?

[@SteveandDawn]

Xano Trevisan Kothe These are made for infants not toddlers.

Very good 😃 parabéns 👏🏻👏🏻

[@sharonmartin5783]

What kind of tool were you using to put the pickets in

[@MrDstapleton77]

Lol! Great video man! I'm subscribed for sure!

[@DesertBumWoodWorkn]

Feddie, Real nice Bassinet build, i'm in the process on making a Cradle, what kind of mattress are you using? or are you guna let the new owners get it?. Thanks for sharing. Chuck

[@GotItMade]

Thanks DesertBum! I appreciate the kind words. Yeah, I reluctantly turned it over to the client.... :-) I'm not sure what they are going to do about a mattress. I just built it to the specs they requested.

[@chrisprieto9063]

I recently purchased the reclaimed wood bassinet plans on 8-12-17 but have not received them via email. I have checked primary, social, promotional and spam. Still nothing. If you can help out Freddie I would be greatly appreciative.

[@smacnp]

Ordered plans 4 weeks ago , still have not recieved them.

[@longbranch100]

To this day July 10 2020. I paid for the plans on sketch up and still unable to download them or find them any way I can get the prints on this Beautiful bassinet

[@GotItMade]

+Luke Skove I’m not sure what the issue is Luke but I can’t do anything through this message board. Have you emailed me directly about it? I haven’t seen anything from you. Send me an email and I will happily reply with the file you are asking about.

[@waynecreech]

Wow, that is an awesome piece, was that wood from a barn in your family?

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Wayne. No, but it was a local barn.

[@kisszabolcs6415]

Hello! Can you help with its size?

[@leehodge7907]

the shocker push stick hahahahaha

[@GotItMade]

You like that mess don't you... :-)

[@sudharsanan21]

Could you please provide the exact measurements for this ? It would be helpful for me to create the same.

[@milkhousecustomwoodworks4368]

Another great. Video man. Who is your sidekick ?

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for checking in, Cory. Good to hear from you. Zack is a local guy I know. He is my source for all this really nice barn wood.

[@lucano57]

Nice work

[@GotItMade]

Thanks!

[@bluesquadron593]

great project. only critics would be on the video editing, speed of fast scenes are just not right. the audio is perhaps the most to fix. but much appreciated!

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for watching Didu. I hear you on the critique. It is so hard to tell a five day story in fifteen minutes. If I make it too long nobody watches. If I make several parts nobody watched them all. Sometimes I don't know what to do. :-)

[@mjarndt]

Great job. I love your videos. How would you build the swivel part without welding? or would you sell a set of those pins you made? (I don't have a welder).

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for checking it out, Mike. You could thread a nut on the bolt with permanent locktite on it? Might hold up that way. I could make them for you but they are pretty labor intensive. Probably looking at 75 bucks to to it.

[@mjarndt]

Thanks. Maybe I could take the nut and bolt to a metal shop and have them spot weld them for me. Your project turned out pretty amazing.

[@nourdineohamo7926]

very good job

[@noncched6839]

Really nice! What do you do for a living?

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Ched. I appreciate the view. I'm like a leaky house with buckets all over the place catching raindrops/pennies... :-)

[@26possum]

I am interested in your assembly table. Do you have a video on that build?

[@remonkaldas5936]

Scott Spaw that’s a festool mft table. It’s runs about $650-$750

[@kevinriddle9829]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqHPcpyso8Rmn5I Feddie built that table

[@adamquincey4371]

Very nice...! Cheers...

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Adam!

[@farrahmuhammad5689]

What is the name of that tool that makes the square hole in the wood?

[@hinduspl]

[@casecanine9768]

gracias desearia saber las medidas de la cuan reclaimed barnwood bassinet

[@semawood7077]

Отличная кроватка! Супер!

[@longbranch100]

I paid for the plans and I can’t find them

[@drgailver]

Help - I want to build but can't find any links that provide dimensions or board thickness... Can anybody help?

[@GotItMade]

+drgailver there is a link in the video description box to the sketchup file for this project.

[@ceciliacalvillo1143]
