I don't have the exact measurements written down anywhere, but I'd guesstimate that the side rail tenons were 1" long and the front/back rail tenons somewhere around 2", long enough to contain a t-nut and to give the furniture bolt head sufficient room on the mortise section. Tenon thickness is 12mm, same as my mortise chisel, and I used the same resulting shoulder depth around the sides and top/bottom of the tenon for easy setup.
Thanks for posting your experience. I am building this crib also for my soon to be born grandson. How long and wide were the tenons on the front and rear rails and the side rails? The "traditional" calculations seem too long.
