Hand crafted SCUBA Tank BBQ

This is a project that I had been toying with in my mind for years, finally getting around to actually making one.
I have been SCUBA diving for 35 years and this project came about when I had three of my original SCUBA tanks fail their 5 year hydrostatic test.
I was offered the option of leaving them at the test facility and they would dispose of them for me.
Being the pack rat that I am, I took them home, knowing I could find a new use for them. In these pictures, you will find that "repurposing".

I am offering to build you one (or more) for $300 each (US) if you supply the tank or $350 if I have to find one for you.
If you have questions please feel free to email me at Chevy427z@intrstar.net
