Donn build a sand blaster! Those parts would clean up like new and much easier. I use my sand blaster to clean up everything. It’s a bit persnickety in its running but the out come is much better than by hand or wire brush! OH !!!! I did not realize the air compressor was for a sand blaster!!!! Great work!

[@fynbo1007]

Hi Donn you had become the quiet man, I love to hear you talk. Love your project, thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family

Donn very good restoration on the compressor , but i always warn people about wiring , you see the wiring coming out of the motor have to be renew too because the age of the motor , please make sure you pay attention to details take the time it go to be safer for your life and as well when soldering wire together first tide them together by twisting them then soldering and shrinking the plastic sleeves you have put in before this process, Hope you will accept these infos without been upset ,you are a brilliant metal worker , regards Robert in Australia

Nice fix , Iam trying to fix one myself ! Thanks TANK

[@IndustrialScientific]

Thanks for your technical sharing.

[@lestergillis8171]

Looks like some serious aftercoolers on there !

[@gregorydobson4307]

Great build. In the future you could always build two of the wheels on a pivot bar with handle attached to that. Make it easier to steer round corners 😊

[@bartonrobinson4266]

I like those reconditioned tools, always saving the oldies for the future, way good for you Donn !!

[@БетонСК]

да руки растут как надо , но вот не вяжется у меня вид какого то сарая в глуши, и столько денег потрачено на оборудование и ремонт, у него есть прям всё что можно желать, и даже краски дорогой в баллончиках и очистителей ржавчины тратить баллонами не реально , в чём то подвох. может там рядом стоит ультрасовременный сервис по ремонту мерседес, а это так хобби блогера показывать людям что при желании можно всё починить :)

Nice restauration. This is so much better then buying a new one. And in the end you can be proud of what you made! Well done!

[@rorschacht8478]

No it's a terrible idea, you should never restore or diy fix a compressor. If you do it regardless then at the very least store it outside away from any people and inside a blast proof shed or something.

[@ianwilliamtait9909]

You really have to get a drill press! Great video.

[@exwldr6945]

Nice job, as always! Now you have to build a proper wood stove with secondary burn for the shop!

[@exwldr6945]

And a new chimney.

My chest hurt when you painted over the tank. I wish you had used a clear coat and kept the patina... It looked so cool after you cleaned it all up..

[@MatsuYoda]

hahahahah the hotpocket and tea. Love it. Keep up the grade A quality work my friend. Cheers!

[@richardportelli1983]

Very nice, if only we all had 3 phase power. Easier option is to stick with a petrol setup and have good ventilation or have compressor outside.

[@DonnDIY]

Here in Europe it's quite common to have 3 phase.👍

[@randyhager2054]

Well it looks as if you haven't lost your touch doing fabrication work Donn! GOOD SHOW!!!! Can't wait to see the shop in full swing soon!!!!!

Great job Donn this will be a awesome new addition to the shop or just the entire HOMESTEAD thumbs up my friend

[@sweetkellymay]

Great fabrication...... old garden hose, is great for shielding wires.. Your shop is too clean, if I did this, half the tools I own, would be scattered from one end of the shop, to the other. I imagine I'm not alone, in this observation..

[@factsdontcareaboutyourfeel7568]

You COULD say, that the recommissioned electric motor is a nice example of *removes sunglasses* green energy.

[@jt9498]

Excellent job! I didn't notice a drain valve on that tank. Is there one? It's necessary to drain the water from the tank to keep it from rusting internally.

[@DonnDIY]

It's on the bottom on the compressor end of the pressure tank.

[@troyblackburn4522]

Awesome work 👍🏼 and great job on the video. One suggestion though, you might want to consider wearing long sleeves if you weld much and want to avoid skin cancer.

[@parkerbirch9374]

[@wkat950]

Good. You didn't cover up the metal spec plates with paint. I had to remove the paint from the plates on my compressor tank.

[@Crewsy]

I bet you don’t hear “Why are you saving that junk for” too often anymore. Great save on the compressor.

[@DonnDIY]

Using saved up junk. Not deliberately saving up junk anymore though. I have it too much already. 😄

What great question

[@robertmailhos8159]

I Love that color scheme ,😍!!!!! Plus it's probable good for you 😁!!!!!

[@clydebalcom8252]

Awesome restore.

[@calvingreene90]

You really should do a hydraulic pressure test when you reactivate rusty pressure tanks. Incompressible fluids don't scatter parts over the next county if the tank fails.

[@MrBugsier5]

its 8 bar... its not needed under 10 bar. at this pressure, if a leak ocours itts at the most a pinhole, different story above 30 bar or with steam at even 8 bars or lower pressure, indeed, thats dangerois.

[@calvingreene90]

@@MrBugsier5 I have seen a compressed air tank like this one fail catastrophically so I am forced to disagree.

It's so simple to go buy a new compressor that's made in China might only last a year or do what you did and restore a piece of Machinery that's top quality that will last you the rest of your life beautiful job

[@jlucasound]

Great Job! Looks and sounds awesome. I bet that will last for a very long time. (The Motor should be Black. ;-) ) Oh, Ya!! That will definitely run a sand blaster!

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

If you want to save your drill bits, use masonry bits for drilling the steel when you have room to be not exact.

[@georgestyer2153]

Great well organised rebuild. One tiny comment, old motor lead out wires cannot be trusted. If you can't get into the motor to replace them then slide sleeving over the old wires as far as they will go. Enjoyed seeing reuse of old machinery... You are well talented...keep doing it !!!

Does that motor control box unit have some kind of "overload" built inside it?. If not, you should have some kind of closely matched breaker or even a fuse system wired into it.

nice job it looks better than new. I thought you would put a turntable wheels on the front somewhat like a wagon . Cool rework i'm sure it much easier to move.

[@tommylau9936]

I am missing the evolution 355 saw :) love to se more off that 😍 love your video’s

[@alvaroschudeck957]

Just 2 things: 1) try to check electric with a tester first before plug, (the IEEE xxx asign the light blue cable to the neutral, maybe better to keep that standard, than have a special for oneself), the 2nd: there must be a way to test ot ensure that the air container is fine not having rust damage and able to resist the pressure you're going to maintain in that cylinder, because it could be very dangerous if it's no able.

[@JuniorJunison]

Yeah that was my problem too, he goes and uses steel fittings and doesn't have an inline water separator and no noticeable way to drain any water that collects inside the tank

[@pasticceriacordani]

Ottimo lavoro e ottimo video come sempre. Hai veramente un'ottima competenza in molti campi. Io però avrei montato le ruote anteriori su una barra con un cuscinetto al centro per renderla sterzante, e con un piccolo timone snodato in modo da poterlo muovere più agevolmente, ma è solo una mia opinione personale. Guardare i tuoi video è sempre tempo speso bene. Complimenti.

[@yeagerxp]

Well done. 👍👍👍

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

Fantastic rejuvenation of an old compressor. It will probably outlast you now! I am a little surprised you didn't make a steering axle for the front though ;)

[@DonnDIY]

I was going to make a steering axle but then my laziness took over. Besides I'm not gonna roll it around anymore hopefully when it is finally in it's place.

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

@@DonnDIY Ha! I'd never believe you were lazy in 1000 years! If it won't move much the fixed axle does makes sense though.

[@MrScoresby]

@@DonnDIY And with the fixed axles it will be less likely to wander when running and you could use 4 rubber house hold door chokes to further limit the movement. The four rubber tires without a fixed foot will reduce the mechanical noise transfer against the concrete slab.

[@ravindradaundkar9905]

Adding only two wheels and a rubber foot could have reduced the vibrations. Nice Restoration.

[@vansantsam]

You can now take the motor off the old one and use the tank for extra air storage..

When making the motor wires longer you sould have twisted the wires together prior to soldering. Your technique puts the entire joint stress on the solder.

Мотор то надо было вскрыть!! На момент наличия смазки в подшипниках.

[@emjoneshouseDIY]

that tank needs to be hydrostatically test. This can be done with a grease gun, pressure washer, hand pump. This can be life saving. you need to test to at least 1.5 times tank working pressure
