One of my biggest projects, literally and figuratively speaking. In late summer 2022 my wife and I had just found out we were expecting a baby. Filled with all sorts of happiness and excitement, my head was flooded with ideas. I was certain that I needed to build the crib for my first child myself.

After gathering inspiration I began the journey of building, which would last quite a while. Mainly because I was missing some additional tools to be able to do what I had planned, but also because, you know, babies take some time until they are ready to be born and sleep in their own bed.

Building an entire crib out of recycled skateboards seemed a bit unnecessary and wasteful, as it would have taken dozens of decks. My own childhood bed was made from pine, so that’s what I went for as well to form the base of the crib. However, my bed was never as colorful as this was going to be.

Many moons, a lot of pine and 18 skateboards later, I had done it. The crib for my little one, unique and colorful.

Dedicated with all my heart to my daughter, who currently finally sleeps…
