Step 17Prepare End-stop for Moving Rail
Mark the ends of the dowel pins with a Sharpie or a dab of paint. Close the moving rail against the moulding on the left-hand end panel. The dowel pins should leave marks where they hit the moulding.
If not, mark the locations with a pen on either side of the dowel pin, and use them to identify the center for drilling.
Drill 5/16" holes into the moulding at those centerss, deep enough for the dowel pins to fit all the way in (at least 1/2"; use a drill-stop to avoid going too far). The moving rail should now close the crib completely, and the dowel pins should slide in and out without resistance. If the pins are tight, open up the holes with a 3/8" bit.
The upper corner of the moving rail isn't stable. Position the dowel pin centered on the end-panel moulding as shown in the picture.
