DIY Affordable Air Cannon for arborist. (Please see items on description for more details)

[@mikeramsey9747]

Definitely one of the better builds that I have seen, I like a larger pressure tank 3" schedule 40 and using a springer control valve for the release, but you made probably one of the nicer launchers.

[@unboxingsynapses9261]

yes Sir. I did see that cannon with a springer control valve as a trigger release and it is sweet. In my application it all went down to how much would I be using the cannon (turned out to be once in a blue moon) and lastly, I wanted to spend very little as possible.

[@mvblitzyo]

wow what an most excellent how to if you had want thanks for the education ..

[@BlackHamRadioUniversity]

Thank you so much for taking your time to provide us with these links. I know you didnt have to do it but you did and I am grateful. I was look at the video and the links and it looks like the 1 in. x 2 in. MIP Red Brass Nipple Fitting that you provided in your links look a lot longer that the 1 in. x 2 in. MIP Red Brass Nipple Fitting in the 8:36 mark of this video. Take a look and tell me if they look the same. one looks longer than the other.

[@unboxingsynapses9261]

Not a problem at all Sir. The good thing about those parts is that you can interchange with different parts as you desire. On the brass nipples as long as they are not too long nor too short and you can tightly screw both ends to the 2 Pieces of 1-1/2 in. x 1 in. PVC Schedule 40 SPG x Hub Reducer Bushing Fitting. That's what matters. On the side note. While I was at Home Depot or Lowe's I pre fitted most of the parts just to make sure they all align together.

[@ssyoumans]

Wish you could put links to the parts @ Lowes, HomeDepot or Ace. I spent about 1 hour at lowes and couldn't find matches. Left frustrated :(

[@unboxingsynapses9261]

Thank you for the input. I will definitely start putting up links to make it easier for our viewers. And I hope you finally found what you were looking for.

[@BlackHamRadioUniversity]

Can you provide a list of all the stuff you used. I went to Lowes and Home Depot and couldnt find any of this stuff in its proper size.

[@unboxingsynapses9261]

I will be providing all the list on the description shortly to make it easier for everyone. Sorry it's giving you a little trouble looking for all those items. Please be mindful that sometimes it depends on the location where you at. In my area I had to drive to 3 different Home Depot or Lowe's to get what I needed.

[@BlackHamRadioUniversity]

Can you tell me where you got the 1 - 1/2 inch x 1/2 SCH 40 PVC Reducer Bushing . I looked at Home Depot and Lowes but I could not find it. Where did you get it from?

I have been looking for almost two weeks for the 1 - 1/2 inch x 1 in PVC Reducer Bushing ($2.95) and cannot find it at all. Can you do me a HUGE favor and send me a direct link. I really cant find this bushing. Also the 1 - 1/2 inch x 1 - 1/2 inch SCH40 Coupling is missing in action also. I went to home Depot but they dont have these exact kind. The ones they have only allow the PVC to go into the coupling about 1/4 in. Please help LOL Also when I went to get the 1- 1/2 SCH40 PVC piping for the air tank and the barrel they did not fit any of the other items that you listed.

Hey man thank you for this video. I just wanted to let you know that I finished the project and have posted a 4 part video series of the start to finished product topped off with a video of the launch. Here is the link to the video series. kzbin.info/door/PMx1VPM5t7ntR2e7xEc6EQ

Yes Sir. I did watch all of your videos and enjoyed the process. Thank you Sir.

[@BlackHamRadioUniversity]

@@unboxingsynapses9261 I ment to give you a shot out on the first and final video but I forgot to add it in. I will do a video specifically giving you a shot out.

[@pnmacdonald]

Wondering why you chose not to narrate the video.

[@unboxingsynapses9261]

I am not really good at narrating, I'm also pretty awkward in front of a camera and so I decided since my content is not really about me but mostly DIY, unboxing stuff, and everything in between, I decided to just focus it on the subject without much talking. I also figured out how to use text to speech app. Maybe someday when I gain a little more confidence, I'd start narrating it myself. Thanks for asking
