Homemade Reel Mounted On Top Of Air Compressor
Mark Burrow, 11221 N. 100th St., Altamont, Ill. 62411 ph 618 483-5598: Mark mounted a homemade reel on top of his air compressor, providing fast payout of the pressure hose and equally fast winding back up. He used a pair of old discs to make the reel, fashioning them into a spool which he bolted onto the tank. "The reel is ready for use whenever and wherever I need air pressure in my shop," says Mark.
He also came up with a unique way to transport gas welding tanks that makes use of an ordinary hand truck. He constructed a metal stand for the welding tank, leaving a bit of extra space below the base. It allows him to slip the hand truck under the base. Now he can move the tank and welding torch anywhere, even if it's in a close place, and then remove the transport wheels by simply removing the hand truck.
