Hi
A compressor in the workshop is a very handy thing to have. It can be used to test run engines, power a small air brush and of course blow the car tyres up. Not wanting anything big and noisy I made my own. Basically it's a pump from an old fridge and a fire extinguisher as a tank. Most of the parts needed to connect it all together came from the useful bits and pieces box. The gauge and the standard air line connector I bought from a local stockist (MACHINE MART). I made a simple one way valve and a pressure relief valve that blows off at 50 psi. Maximum pressure is reached in under a minute and extremely quietly. Julian has also built one, slightly different to mine, I'll get him to post some pics of his. Any questions just ask.
Cheers
