    Homemade compressor

    I like it! I've always thought of converting a old motorbike motor into a cheap compressor, I would think it would be fairly reliable

    Show off your tubular projects here.

    Here's a tailpipe a guy made up at my old work, he was employed as a TIG welder, unbelievable, and no one who worked there could see anything wrong. I don't work there anymore.
