Twin 45's back from Hydro and valves/manifold rebuilt.

I just finished overhauling my Sherwood valves/manifold and got my twin 45's back from hydro. Added a VDH backplate and now I am learning how to sew webbing with an awl. :)

Although this rig is by no means vintage, it is mid-70's ish and is my daily diver. In an attempt to please the vintage scuba gods I replaced the plastic knobs with metal Sportsways and US Divers knobs. Since the parts come from US Divers, Sportsways and Sherwood my wife says I should call it a "us-divers-sport-wood." I'm not entirely clear what she meant by that. :)

Late, but as I said on SB , very smart classy looking on combining the metal knobs on the Sherwood manifold.
How did the sew job finish off on this project?

Wonder when things return to normal if they do , if we will see a run of those plates again?

Let's just say it's good enough for government work. :)
