    Considering moving, looking for ideas.

    Hadn't heard much about greers ferry lake, quick google search, it looks nice. Lake Jocassee looks like a good option too. Is there much for deep lakes/quarries in Virginia?

Durring that time a cold snap hit -30°, and she had to deal with cattle waters and hydrants freezing. She is now willing to move where the winters arent as harsh(dont mind...

    Compressor I'd help

    Well long story short, I decided the simplest solution so far was to install a single phase to 3 phase rotary converter (so I dont have to mess with any of the auto shutoff wiring), it works great. Coltri does have some fantastic diy videos on how to maintain the compressor. I found a company...

    Compressor I'd help

    I bought a compressor from a shop that was closing down due to the owner passing away. Got a good deal on it(I hope). Wasnt a great deal, but wanted to help out the family with their loss.

    titanium backplate

    This winter I'm going to try and make one more like a halcyon and maybe a small halcyon. My kids are getting into diving and would be nice to have a couple small backplates.

    titanium backplate

    Thanks but to be honest it wasn't completely DIY, my father-in-law and his company precision metal works did most of it.

    titanium backplate

    130ish with shipping. regular one weighs 2 pounds, lightweight one weighs 1.5 pounds. I also had enough titanium to make a single tank adapter I didn't weigh it though. Weight pockets are dive rite Velcro, the straps slip through the slots in the backplate and Velcro together. Very nice idea how...

    titanium backplate

    Nothing against helium dive backplates but I just couldn't spend that much for a titanium backplate and to ship it from Russia, so I decided to make my own. Its amazing what one can do with a sheet of titanium, a father in-law with a machine shop company, with a lazar cutting table, hydraulic...
