    I can't say that quickly and I have not had anything to drink today. It does sound funny though.

    So I was thinking of starting D.A.D.D. That is Divers Against Drunk Diving.

    Our slogan could be "DUI, You Can't Afford It", boy that may get someone's feathers ruffled. And how true it is.

    Default DIY Projects

    Here are some of the things I've made in the past two years.
    The lamps are made from condemned cylinders. The neat thing about them is that you turn the valve knob to turn the light on. The white one is a cookie jar. To open the jar you have to turn the valve knob.
    The gizmo to the right of the lamp is my attempt at modern art. It's a sphere of sorts. Don't know what it is but everyone that see's it wants one.
    Also built a small booster for filling my argon bottle to 3000 psi. No picture though.
    The flow bench panel was put together from instrumentation that I got from Peterbuilt.
    The collection of odds and end tools are for the regs that I use. The white thing to the left of the scooter video mount is a dummy cap for my canister light. I had a small leak in the cable grommet and needed away to test it in my pressure pot and the regular battery canister would not fit in the pot so I made a short one to allow testing.
    I didn't make the pressure pot, just the stand for it to put it at a morecomfortable work height.
    I've got several other things but no pictures at this time. Bench top tank vise, pivoting tank cradle for that mounts to a counter for dumping water and tumbling media out and then holds it while rinsing. Tank dryer that was fabricated from a hair dryer and uses air from a scuba tank to dry the cylinder.
    The beauty of scuba is that it can keep you occupied above and below the water. Especially if your totally addicted.

    RCS, I used to be a prototype aerospace machinist. I still have a brand new 16"x60" lathe and vertical mill in the garage, both machines with electronic digital readouts on all axis. I just picked up a new mig welder.

    Looking at your whimsical gizmos, I think we'd get along just great!
