I hope that people who have made negative comments here come to appreciate the skills and imagination of this guy someday. Those are the hallmarks of any good inventor. If you happen to dislike the project at hand, move on. He's not in the business of pleasing you. He's in the business of finding the limits (if indeed there are any) of what is possible. This person is one of the rare people who not only thinks outside of the box, he doesn't even think there IS a box. I admire him no matter what he works on.

[@mikeoconnell4229]

My friend, when you get off your pulpit stick your suggestion where sun doesn't shine! Everyone should speak their minds without sensor. Just my opinion. Ps. You can get a air pump at Walmart for $10.99.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

@@mikeoconnell4229 Was that directed to me?

[@joewoodchuck3824]

@Brian Schwab Not a crappy build, but I agree with the rest of what you said.

[@cargonomads4947]

air pump walmart= couple uses and straight to trash passing down a handmade air pump made out of an old shock= priceless cant expect everyone to get that though.....

[@WayTruthLife2100]

Yes, Yes, and Yes INFINITY! JOE WOODCHUCK, your comment is Genuine TRUTH! Thank you for posting just the message WE ALL need to be reminded of from time to time. Blessings to everyone watching. May this crafter continue to work with his mind and hands and create only the best and brightest which could only be influenced by God, the one and only Heavenly Father.

[@transformersdecepticondude8597]

Dear HandCraft, The first thing I saw was your hands and I thought this is my dad! No fooling! Both parents raised 9 of us and both had a work commitment. How many 8 y/o's in '67 and today learned how to wash out diapers in the toilet then rinse and ready them for the wash. They really had it tough growing up pretty much like the rest but family stuck together and almost lost dad in the WWII twice. Near misses...A Jap torpedo went under the bow of the gasoline ship he was on as it raised up in rough waters and another time he felt the heat of a Jap snipers bullet pass his head on deck while writing to mom. He decided to finish letter down below...Nother words, I wouldn't be here a writing. But anyway, you sir are amazing! I bet there isn't anything you can't tackle? Dad taught us all but though I'm close to symmetrically equal I do not have full use of my right side. But I can sure think things through and even better when my hands are on it...Remember folks, whether or not it is out of necessity, there's a special love for hands on creating, we all catch up sooner or later in that department. It really is fun! Apprenticeships must come back in every field...Thank you. Sincerely, Don Suiters Clearwater Florida USA

[@curbstalker6577]

Maybe just a pump to some, but has sparked a ton of ideas to use parts from an old shock!!! Creativity at it’s finest

[@HarmonyHollowApiary]

Great skills and innovation! I enjoy watching your transformations. A great way to show others how to re-purpose things - especially where there may not be the retail choices that others have. Thumbs up on your work!

[@van8000]

It is not about $5 or $10 item, it is about a creative ideal. It is about a father, an uncle... who is able to make a bike pump for his son or his niece/nephew... if someone had made me this pump when I was a kid, that would have been one of the best gift of my childhood. Thank you for the video my friend, you are such a skillful person. I wish I have a guy like you in my shop

[@carpentrylover145]

Creative. You definitely have a mind for engineering, and the skills to make it happen.👍

[@delljohnson172]

A true Craftman ..have any of you folks seen the Videos of TOOLS MACHINES APPLIANCE MOTOR VECHILES ETC that CUBANS HAVE HAD TO MAKE..FANTASTIC..

Didn't know where you were going until the end. Sweet.

[@SK-ye8kr]

WAO...verygood..😁😁👍❤

[@randallpachoud1230]

I absolutely did not see that coming. Brilliant use of the materials. I was expecting legs or some kind of cabinet hardware. You might have inadvertently turned me into a parts hoarder, and opened up some creativity in myself.

[@kidphillyorg]

You ever think these videos aren't made to save a few bucks or to get something done quickly and cheap? I think they are made to stir the imagination and innovation of the viewer. To encourage vision which takes time. I can only imagine how many of our greatest inventions started off as "Big wastes of time" to the general public, when something quicker could have been done. Why waste a bunch of time developing the light bulb when you can quickly strike a match? We know the benefits now after the story is complete. Visionaries see the ending at the very beginning.

[@mikeoconnell4229]

Match/lightbulb Cheap airpump/ridiculously expensive air pump Try again pal you make no sense

[@maxcarter3413]

Yes, true but not in this case. Nice try.

[@IldefonsoZanette]

Exactly! I can use the same technique, with small modifications, to make a linear actuator or a pneumatic actuator for example.

[@shafferjoe1962]

Amen brother amen

[@georgegarcia7611]

Brilliant, that pump will outlast all of us, well done. Thanks for posting.

Excellent. Recycling.

Недооцениваеш себя((,может намного больше👍

[@gateway8833]

At first I thought that’s a crazy amount of work to make a simple pump. The more I thought about it, being a pump is immaterial, the Joy is in the making. Beautiful project, and yes I liked it.

[@WayTruthLife2100]

You get it, Abby. Awesome. Yes, time is money but you can't buy happiness.

[@brandyjackson6990]

Abby Babby Yes you would have to consider it a hobby because that is not time well spent.

Abby, its like the old adage, "It is not so much the destination as it is the trip along the way". Always enjoy the ride, no matter where you go.

[@robertfranklin7040]

Grinding away & cutting on a gas-charged strut - a really for real excellent way to end up at the local ER or county morgue. Between removing the highly compressed coilspring & dealing with the gas pressure, it's just a Darwin award in the offing.

[@just_a_guy_doing]

Absolutely amazing. I was actually thinking while watching this, I could adapt the same idea and make a replacement hydraulic ram for my horizontal bandsaw using 90% of the same ideas as you

[@Barzakhi]

Till today i didnt know whats Inside shock absorber. Very creative and I would say delicate work. The way you dealt with small cuts and parts is really creative. I will wait for more videos.

[@jigc23]

Brilliant!😲

[@roadscholar05]

I have been in South Korea and you would not believe what they can make and fix. I had a friend who had a water pump go out on his American Ford car and they pressed out the old bearing and seals, fabricated new ones and reassembled it. My friend had ordered a new one which took six weeks to arrive but he was waiting for the fabricated one to fail before he put the new one on, but it never failed in at least two years!

[@enzochiapet]

I recently discovered your channel - well KZbin A.I. did by putting this in my recommendations - and am super glad because I'm really impressed. Beyond your skills and amazing creativity, I really like that you aren't explaining anything and videos are immediately showing you building something. Not only am I learning things, it's really fun trying to guess what you're creating. This pump blew me away, had no idea what type of pump you were creating until you screwed on the hose! Anyone that dislikes your videos doesn't get the point and frankly are the people that will be first to die when a great apocalypse hits. Yourself and those of us with skills will survive in the under world.

[@OrganDonor2u]

Very fine craftsmanship and terrific attention to detail but I was disappointed at the end product. A steampunk bicycle pump? I am sure it will last generations. Very creative.

[@sheckyfeinstein]

Ok, I’m half-way in, and I have exactly no idea what you’re shootin’ for here. Ah, now I get it. Brilliant.

[@brianw338]

Excellent Respactable Sir.

[@Demosophist]

$500 worth of equipment to make a $30 device. Brilliant!

[@Demosophist]

Ok, if you've already got the equipment it's sort of an interesting thing to do, but the resulting gadget is really too heavy to carry on a bike. A more interesting project would be how do you make something cheaply that is very expensive to buy, which you can't buy because no one has manufactured it yet.

[@Rocky-rk4df]

@@Demosophist He won't understand what you're saying. He thinks he's an intelligent inventor. + abike pump costs 3€ here in France

Your washer+nut+magnet+weld trick -- brilliant!

Nice work, and a good idea! Those who says "you van just buy a pump" has not understood the point. This video is not a "How to aquire a bicycle pump" it is a "How to make one"

[@mikeoconnell4229]

More useless knowledge! Sounds like over priced college degrees.

[@IldefonsoZanette]

Nice work and lots of good ideas (like the usage of the drill as a lathe to make it easier to sand the rust). The same technique can be used to create a pneumatic actuator.

[@timhofstetter5654]

I must admit that I didnt see that coming. About half way in I thought maybe he would convert it to a pneumatic cylinder.

[@lezbriddon]

same here, as the dollar store sells pumps... maybe cost more in electricity

[@cargonomads4947]

I had no idea where this was going...but im glad he is using his skills to make something. Need more people like him in this world to inspire people to build and not just buy. Recycle re-use
