I put brushed on a coat of Water based Deft Clear wood finish. Waited an hour, then applied a coat on the other side. While I was waiting between coats I had to sand all the slats flush with the sides.

Now a 2nd coat on each side After a day of drying my assistant and I sanded with 220/320 to get out my sloppy drip and sag marks and flatten out any nibs. Today I decided I would use my HVLP to put on that last coat.

I also put on 3 coats on the slats (The first was with the rattle spray can of the same product, this is where I decided to try my HVLP sprayer) Spraying more pieces And spraying the last piece. Everything needs to dry and we will have final assembly.

07/14/2007DavidWhat I ended up using was a couple rollerblade bearings, steel rod and some rare earth magnets. In the Cradle side I drilled a hole with a forsner bit the right size for the outer diameter of the bearing. then without moving anything I changed the bit to the size of the rare earth magnet (3/8 or 1/2 i forget which) I then glued the magnet into the hole. On the mating tower I drilled a hole to fit the steel rod (3/8” I think). I did some testing to make sure the rods were long enough so that when assembled you couldn’t pull out the rods without unbolting to towers from the bottom streatcher. I glued the rods in the tower side and the magnet would pull it though the bearing and hold it tight. I also put 2 nylon washers in between to prevent the towers from rubbing on the sides of the cradle.
07/14/2007RonI'm going to attempt a similar cradle for my sister, how do you join the cradle to the base for the pivots?
