Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Wooden subs: my contribution to the history



Hi All,

I live in Alameda, CA which is about 45 minutes from Sunnyvale (on those few days 
that the Nimitz Freeway permits freeway speeds). I have had a few thoughts on 
wooden subs in the past, and would also be eager to see this design if it is in fact 
some kind of serious design. (If the sub is plywood over 2 x 4's with taped edges 
then forget it!). I've got a decent digital camera that could make getting pictures on 
the web one step faster.
