Forgot to mention:  A natural follow-on to building your own hose is an article that appeared in the old LNN (Lancair Network News).  It showed how to build a hose tester using basic plumbing parts from the hardware store.  It allowed for flow testing with a garden hose and pressure testing using a grease gun.  My copy is buried in storage somewhere.  Perhaps someone else has a copy handy.  It is comforting to know the home-made hose can withstand rated pressure.
