oddball stuff

[westernkansas]

wiilowbilly3's homemade drill press gave me the idea to start a topic to show off everyones odd tools and creations to start I'll show off an aircompressor that my dad made before i came along, 35+ years ago. all I know is the tank came from an oil field pipe supply yard, the mottor came from a heating/cooling unit, and the rest came from sears when sears sold usefull things. (my opinion on sears although I am a craftsman nut) I'll post better pics later once i get the bench off the top of it and drag it out so i can get a good pic of it and invite willow to repost his drill press here.

is that bottom pic a missle launcher? i've seen hotwater tanks made into compressor tanks.

I took an old "kirby" bag type vacum that was being thrown away and made a leaf blower out of it. I try to get some pics.

my motor/compressor is the same except i use a 5 gallon propane tank that doubles as a portable air tank sounds crazy eh
