- I was inspired to make this video and do my own air compressor build by the channel @fix206 who made a video on this a few months prior, click this link to see his version of this video.

You’re really talented, man. I can only imagine the TH-cam grind is a long and uncertain one, but I just wanted to encourage you to keep making content and doing your thing, because you clearly have a knack for this kind of work. Mad respect and appreciation for what you’re doing.
I appreciate that a lot! There are times for sure where it would be a lot faster to do the work and not film it, but comments like this are a great reminder there are some people out there that appreciate it.
@@HardAngle Dang fantastic, got a new subscriber for sure!
@@xx-vk5ol love to hear it!
You should hydro test that tank.
This tank ended up having a pin hole in the bottom, I got an upright 60 gallon tank and hydro tested it to 230 psi and all went well. Has been running flawlessly for 7 months now. I agree with hydrotesting your compressors every few years, takes an hour or so and could save your life.
Great build! I like when things are built and restored vs bought. I am building a 5 hp w/ a vertical 30 gallon used tank.
Oh and a tip when soldering, use flux on the pipe and fitting and apply heat to the fitting and the solder will run into the fitting and coat the entire surface between the fitting and the pipe. This will give the strongest and leak free join.
Thanks for the tip! System is still running with no leaks or issues, changed to a 60 gallon vertical once I noticed this smaller tank had pinholes in the bottom and I didn't want to risk my safety. But that tank was also used and restored just like this one.
@@HardAngledoes the generator work good with the 60 gallon tank ? If so how long does it run with a full gas tank in the generator
@@user-yq3rn5cq2o I've gotten over 12 hours of run time with a full tank, but the generator was also running my lights, the sandblaster vacuum, and a wood stove blower fan at the same time as the compressor.
@@HardAngle an that’s with your 60 gallon compressor runs good with it ?
@@user-yq3rn5cq2o Yes, that is with the 60 gallon tank, since it is the compressor body and electric motor just on a different tank it runs just like before, just takes a little longer to fill up now.
If you wanna save on fittings sweat the joints everywhere you can. I did this my second go around building one of these cooling loops and it saved me 120 on fittings vs my similar 200 the last time. Now if your sweating joints and creative you can make some interesting parts for very little. I know one step was gonna run me 70 the first go and sweating it it was closer to 20.
Looks good !! I approve :)
Turns out, this tank had a pin hole in it and I had to get a new tank. Bought a 60 gallon and the new setup is even more similar to what you did! Lol
@@HardAngle Very nice... I personally like the upright compressors more since they take up less floor space 👍
@@fix206 Less floor space AND they are easier to drain due to the shape of the bottom vs a horizontal where it pools along the entire bottom, I am now a firm believer that vertical is the way to go.
speedair compressor
What size pulley you use for the Electric motor ?
Go online you can get the size you need
What generator would I need just for the air compressor it’s sell I have same exact setup but with a 60 gallon tank
Generator wpuld be the same its running the same power at the start as it would the emd maybe just runs a few extra minutes.
I built a similar sized compressor with a used 3hp motor, used tank, used switch, used electrical disconnect and a used Devilbiss pump that was in like-new condition...way way less than $972.
Again.... $400 in copper and fittings, literally half of the cost is for the cold dry air, the compressor was around $570, couldn't buy this kinda of air output for that low anywhere these days. But I do still respect someone that can build something out of used parts for as cheap as possible.
@@HardAngle I'm good at not adding up cost for home copper plumbing jobs.
It is definitely not my area of expertise
The pedal stool?
That was an impressive restoration.
