Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Greetings
I am a new subscriber to this
group. I am currently a Civil Engineer with a minimum of 20 years of
experience as a welder and machinist with an emphasis in exotic welding
techniques and shipfitting/fabrication. I'm also a certified SCUBA diver (ex
Navy Diver) and I have committed to building my own personal submarine and
find most of what I have been reading from others on this site extremely
enlightening and useful. I believe that with my background in
construction and recent degree in Engineering that I shouldn't have much
trouble with designing and building my own system. At the same time, I am
definitely open to suggestions and/or comments. And don't laugh but, I
live in Arizona. Ha ha, yes, a scuba diver building a submarine in the
Arizona desert. Hey, we have lakes here too ya know and San Diego isn't really
all that far away... :-) At any rate, I'm just in the beginning phases,
i.e., making my list of specifications, finding a design,
etc..
Would enjoy hearing from any of you
with experiences and/or comments.
Sincerely
Eric Shawd
