I built one of those 15 years ago and it worked for 10 years occasional use I built mine into a milk crate, it would pump up to over 200 psi I used a old propane bottle as my air pig this is a very cheep homemade compressor design for lubrication you drip some air tool oil into the suction line of the Freon compressor only down fall cannot start with much pressure in the tank and in freezing tempters the unit would not start up but over all a fun built I will post mine.

Looks nice and neat mate you've given me an idea with a broken compressor I have

[ozzirt]

@billtsig96 I suggest you use an ELCB in a compressor that uses it's oil supply to cool the motor.

@acomputer8me because it made from a fridge compressor

u simply muted it there

Only snag with this setup is that you won't be able to run it for too long as the refrigerant would have been used to cool the motor.

@billtsig96 I give you my questions: "What's the secret? How's it work so quietly?"
