I'm not one of the Master Craftsmen that most of you are but I do have some fun with wood. My daugheter asked me to make a submarine bed for my 2+ grandson. Having slept in sub bunks for a couple of decades, and knowing the short life of a novelty bed, I talked her into me making a pier. Started with a couple of scrap fence posts from Lowe's and used #1 pine for the outside and cut up scraps for the slats. (There's a rumor that a sub will surface on the outboard side at Christmas!
