Got a lot done on the doll cradle project last night.
I used a solid panel bottom, and attached the rockers with sliding dovetails:
More detail pics in my album.
Now all that's left to do is a little more paring to clean up the corners of the bottom panel groove, and sand out the machine marks/ease the corners. I'm interested in what you guys think of this design (I mostly made it up as I went along). I think the weakest point is the top (dovetailed) part of the rockers - I tried to make that as wide as I could. Any feedback appreciated.
