- That's a really beautiful regulator Geoff. Thanks for sharing your project. I have a similar project that I've been procrastinating on and yours is inspiring me to get-r-done!
- I wouldn't mind seeing more pictures of this regulator... :)

Thanks all. Per request are some more pictures. As I said it needs a bit of chrome but that will happen down the line. I have a few other fun regulator projects in progress right now - so glad to say this one is complete for now.

Thanks guys. Not to drone on too much about this Voit, but I finally got it wet. Yesterday, a buddy and I went to a pool in Los Alamos here in NM where they block off the deep end and have scuba time every few weeks. Plus the rest of the pool and kid pool was open at the same time for regular swimming. This meant my wife and kids could have fun while we dove. Not so much the case in the local pools --when they allow divers the whole facility is closed and you have to be with whatever shop has rented it out. This was totally relaxed and fun. I had told my friend I wanted to spend some time in a pool with him trying a new wing he has and a AGA full face mask I built for him before he should use it in open water. I finally got him to use a double hose too!
I got about an hour and a half of use on this Voit. It works just fine, and ease of breathing is not bad at all.

Didnt get many good pics, but have a few:

What a great project. Glad you found a good home for all those tinnermans you had collected. That reg looks amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing, It's was cool watching the whole thing from beginning to end.

I have a Mike Nelson special I've been working on that will be available in the VDH store soon. I won't be quite as nice as yours but it should help some lucky double hoser outfit their Sea Hunt rig.
