DIY Mini Silent Compressor

After building the first DIY Silent Compressor I had an obsession to build a smaller version using a mini refrigerator motor and some re-purposed tanks for the air reservoir. Unlike the previous build, there was no donor compressor to start with. This would be a complete scratch build that required a bit more fabrication than the previous, and was quite fun to build.

Wolf with Snow

My wife loves wolves, so I decided to put my dagger stroke skills to the test. A billion dagger strokes, some pen and a hand cramp later I finished this Wolf with Snow.

I learned a lot about how to use the different brushes to pull small detail while doing this piece, it was fun but tedious. I still have a cramp in my thumb from it... The project took me about 5-6hrs working 1-2hrs at a time.

My wife Crystal really liked it and that made all the cramps and frustration worth it.

DIY Silent Compressor

I've had a 3 gallon pancake style tank sitting in my garage for about a year or so now after purchasing my SilentAire 20A. The tank was from a Harbor Freight 3 gallon 100psi oil-less compressor. The original configuration of the compressor was VERY loud and refilled constantly during use with only a 15psi differential between the cut-in and cut-out pressure.

Cool New E-Magazine!

There is a new Digital Magazine that came out today in Germany. Put out by by Visual Arts Illustrated, the magazine looks like it will be a hit.

The magazine features lots of articles and full color images and something you don't get from the printed rags out there, Rich Media... That's right, videos right on the page. The ability to download the entire magazine as a PDF is a big bonus. Now you can put the magazine on your Smart Phone or laptop and read on the plane or while travelling without Internet access.
