Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: hatch 

Here is the efforts of the xmas holliday.  This is the hatch for my deep diver, the shell  is 15\16 thick  and the ring is 2 inches thick.  I machined a notch for the shell to sit on and then welded it in place.  I then machined the weld down to make it nice and even and it looks better than grinding.  The hatch weighs quite a bit, I am guessing 100 lbs.  I had the land ring machined and then cut the hole in the hull to big,  :-(  so I am having a new ring water jet cut.  I made a real nice rig to hold the torch with bearings and tilt feature.  I had the angle wrong, so the hole ended up 3\8 to big.Hank
