Never blame the tool or the material for the failings of the craftsman.

LOL! Actually, it was more the tubing's fault the the line. The tubing was crimped from the zip tie. I was just replacing the line with a longer one. I finally succeeded.

Hey, I taught machine shop and welding to Architecture students... you had to keep things in perspective for them. Everyone cussed the machines and they worked pretty near flawlessly. In addition to that, probably the best thing I learned was

Good machinists make very few mistakes.
Great machinists know how to cover them up.

Anybody know what joystershell is using for a pull knob for the dump valve? I can't make out what it is. Looks like the perfect size for when I am wearing drysuit gloves.
Thanks!

Check out the light department in Lowe's / Home Depot . . . Somewhere, usually on an endcap, they have a selection of pulls.

I think I'll get a crystal one!

Just checked with MegaMikey, he thinks he cannibalized it from some old BCD when he lengthened the pull cord.

But, why not give Dive Rite a call and see if they have any suggestions.

Help!

Does anyone have some good pics on slinging your stage or deco bottles? I've seen the couple posted here, but just how do the clips run to put the stages above the main tanks?

You need to use shock cord to give it the flexibility needed to don & doff the cylinder. Place the clamp about 15 inches up from the bottom.
