Yet another good reason to build a saucer shaped sub.

[PSUBS-MAILIST] Funny Story
Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 12:38:44 -0500
I would imagine all who have built a sub have
some funny stories of the process.
Yesterday as I was putting the finishing
touches on the hatch cover hinge/spring assembly I had a bit of an incident.
My sub is sitting on a set of heavy rollers to assist rotating the hull to
weld most things in position. With the conning tower and hatch on top I
moved around the tower and it started to roll. I went to the other side to
try to stop it, but was to late. To keep form hitting the floor, I needed to
turn around and run the other way much as a lumberjack in a log rolling
contest. I only wish I had video for America's funniest!
I hope you all enjoy,
Best Regards,
Jim K
