First, it should be noted (ha) that the name is derived from a borrowed major three chord of the minor sixth tonality... i'm a music major ... anyway there's been an update! what has recently been accomplished: purchased 75% of the pvc body of the sub cut all necessary parts of the pvc built main body purchased second bilge pump and two more propellers ate a box of poptarts while working ... i'm also toying with the idea of adding an electronic compass on "the dash" or controls of the sub.
| AS OF... 3 - 17 - 09 there will be new pictures here soon! what's remarkable is how much the actual body of the sub looks like the original and detailed sketches i just sort of pulled out of thin air, i'm very pleased. this of course does not mean that she will swim very well, i've noticed a few leak-prone areas and some things that i'm sure can only hinder my hydrodynamics, but i'll figure a way around it. i developed a super-no-brainer way to cut good ol'fashioned straight lines on round pvc and am in the process of making a DIY and HOW TO page. the big empty space below will be filled with pictures, including an exploded and piced together view of J'SFR III / vi, just as soon as i upload all of the photos from a spur of the moment trip to disney world. |
