<DIV style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;"><DIV>Got to straighten this hatch thing out. Emile suggested that it would be possible to grind/ sand down to get flat, sounds a bit harsh, not sure how I would go about doing that. I need to get a flat surface, like a granite surface plate or a piece of glass so I can determine flatness. I knew I shouldn't have welded those hinge flanges on after welding, but I had assurances that it wouldn't deform anything ! Last time I take advice like that ! That side pulled up just slightly so I would have to turn or grind down about 2/3 rds of the hatch by about 75 thousandths to make everything level.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian <BR><BR>--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<BR><BR>From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Got vacuum !<BR>Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 23:18:46 +0000 (UTC)<BR><BR></DIV><DIV style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><DIV><SPAN>Any idea when your going to test her?</SPAN></DIV><DIV><SPAN>Hank</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><BR><BR></DIV><DIV style="display: block;"> <DIV style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <DIV style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <DIV dir="ltr"><FONT face="Arial" size="2"> On Monday, February 1, 2016 4:18 PM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<BR></FONT></DIV> <BR><BR> <DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><DIV>Thanks Hank, Good feeling !</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian<BR><BR>--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<BR><BR>From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Got vacuum !<BR>Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 22:45:04 +0000 (UTC)<BR><BR></DIV><DIV><DIV style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><DIV><SPAN>Brian </SPAN></DIV><DIV><SPAN>A big satisfying mile stone, congratulations!</SPAN></DIV><DIV><SPAN>Hank</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><BR><BR></DIV><DIV style="display: block;"> <DIV style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <DIV style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <DIV dir="ltr"><FONT face="Arial" size="2"> On Monday, February 1, 2016 1:40 PM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<BR></FONT></DIV> <BR><BR> <DIV><DIV><DIV style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><DIV>That's encouraging !</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian<BR><BR>--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<BR><BR>From: Emile van Essen via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>To: "'Personal Submersibles General Discussion'" <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Got vacuum !<BR>Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 21:18:33 +0100<BR><BR>

All, My subs sitting with
26" of Hg over at my shop !! Did have a bit
of a problem however, I had to clamp the hatch down because I have a
slight warp, probably from a couple of welds done after machining, should be
able to remedy that with another trip to the big lathe.</SPAN></FONT>
