BTW, got all that lead today, did you know that you can cut lead with a Skill saw ? I just tried it today, works really good. I think I might be able to position all that lead in my ballast area with out having to melt it . I can secure it with some sort of bolted bar arrangement.</div><div> </div><div>Brian<br clear="none"><br clear="none">--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none">From: Alan via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] more Esmae video<br clear="none">Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2016 06:52:21 +1200<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div>Brian,</div><div>so if you add weight you need to add floatation to counter it.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460705663552_3580">When I first saw the video I thought perhaps fill the bottom of</div><div>the cylindrical hull section with lead.
