Divers Helmet

[paulm]

I was fortunate enough to meet David (JimJam) on the weekend and his lovely family who popped in for a cuppa and it reminded me of some blanks I had from him a while ago. One of them was a divers helmet which I've dressed in a Sedona diving suit and given it 10 coats of ca gas. The body wood is walnut I think and the rest I'm not sure.

A lovely job done there by both participants init?
A good choice of kit too, the domed head of the cap and pen suit the helmet logo very well.
Nicely turned and beautifully finished with excellent pictures to show it in all its glory.
You both have something to be rightly proud of, go to the top of the class today.

{LOOKING KNOWLEDGABLE} it's a Siebe-Gorman six-bolt model ... Did I get that right, Paul/Rowdy?

Hi, Paul,

I love the pen but would have put the helmet on summat plainer.

Heck a living masterpiece certainly very fitting design, correct choice of kit and collaboration a great conversation between you guys and our total so far admiration of the finished pen and the way these thoughts were aired in depth. The clausterphobia thought of being bolted into a helmet terrifies me as does the thought of trying this without such assistance. Just doing a simple turn over in the water used to cause pain to me swimming was great.with phobias.

Superb result all round.

Kind regards Peter.
