[PSUBS-MAILIST] 1ATM construction Q?

["Patrick" <pat_man_ta@hotmail.com>]

It seems that steel and acrylic cylindrical/spherical construction is the 
predominant method of making 1ATM subs.
Can or has it been done in other ways?

for instance, could I theoretically build my octagonal hull out of steel or 
another material and use it as a 1ATM vessel? has anyone build 1ATM vessels 
out of something other that steel? (regardless of dive depth)
