Cody, You might consider going the route of a traditional styled
ribbed, rolled-steel cylinder with formed heads over the use of a propane
cylinder for safety, strength, and economical reasons. While a
shallow-water submersible could probably be constructed safely, there are always
questions about its safety. Plus it is much easier to install your ribs
and other welded in objects within the hull with an end cap off. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas As scarce as the truth is, the supply has always been in excess of
the demand. -Josh Billings From:

ShellyDalg@aol.com Hi Cody. Welcome to the group. It's very difficult to build a sub
from a completed tank. Generally a lot of the work is done before the ends are
attached. If you're considering building a sub. You'll need to know how to
weld, or your building costs will be very high. I started with mock-ups and
found it very helpful and almost free. Good luck! Frank D.
