: Congrats. This board absolutely amazes me. It doesn't matter where you are in
: a project, there is always, always someone who is doing exactly the same
: thing, and this is no exception. My wife and I just found out that we're
: going to be first time parents and the due date is Feb, 11. AND my wife
: wants me to make a cradle boat. Amazing.

Ditto. And congratulations to all four of you. My wife and I are expecting a miniature kayaker on October 21. And I too was considering a boat-shaped cradle. (I hatched the idea after watching the movie The Secret of Roan Innish.) Since our due date is a bit sooner than yours, I'll have to get cracking. I just went to Amazon's site and bought the book. Mike, if you already have your copy, do you have any comments -- the Amazon customers who reviewed it seemed to have reservations about the plans. Does the book have offsets tables, or just plans that have to be enlarged?
