I needed a blower in the garage but don’t have an air compressor so I made this
I was very pleased with it and it felt good to hold
It has a standard air line blower
I can fill it using a car compressor
The first fail is the weld failed, I am fairly sure because I didn’t grind any of the chrome off the bolt before welding it so the weld didn’t penetrate correctly so there are a few small air holes in the bolt side of the weld, the bottle side of the weld is perfect
The second fail is my car compressor, advertised as a 225psi compressor it could only push in 140psi, 2nd time 120psi, 3rd time 80psi, 4th time 40psi, its now f****d
Third fail even with 140psi I only got 1 second of useful air from it then it needs refilling
Did anyone else make anything like this and did you have more luck
For my next project I need your help I need more Disposable Gas Canisters like the one I used in this project, I would be willing to pay through paypal for postage if you live far away but it would only be worth posting if you have 4 or more, I am able to collect if you live close to Doncaster
Thank you for your help
