Popular Mechanics dive sled 1952

I made a simpler one, I think from Popular Science in the early / mid '60's. A better design is better but the concept is not new.

OK
But why reinvent the wheel?

I'm not sure what you mean, the wheel was never invented and available..

It is an interesting design with some features that I have not seen before.

$2,000 makes it a pretty limited market. I can see that is more expensive to make than the plywood and plexiglass DIY models that I have used: https://www.divesled.com/
