DIY Mid Century Bassinet

This diy midcentury bassinet build was extremely fun. It was easily one of the more challenging designs and builds I’ve taken on to date, but I really enjoyed the work, and can’t wait for the shop to arrive in Africa to jump back in to more builds like this one! I made this mid century bassinet for my soon-to-be twin nephews as and extra pair of cradling arms for my brother and sister-in law. I can’t wait to meet you, little guys!

In this DIY Bassinet Build we tackle the How-to — or how-I-did — on:

  • jointing and planing
  • dowel joints
  • mitered corners
  • tongue and groove
  • angular dowel joints
  • mechanic anchor points
