hey this is my second pneumatic, as far as i know it is an original design and have not seen anything like it before hope there isnt any good reason that no one has made one like this would like to know your concerns and or feedback, thanks
sorry about leaving lots out when i posted this hopefully now you can get a better picture of how it works now, still got some stuff to do one the grip befer i get a pic of the whole thing but hopefully i can do that today

Nice! Is that your own type of pilot that you built there? I'm a lil confused. i see the schrader...but what is the pipe in front of it for?

As confused as the above posters, can we have a diagram of what the inner workings will look like?

I am assuming that is probably the chamber that has another Schrader valve on the bottom for fill purposes.
Need a better overall picture.

... but that would make the chamber behind the piston.

Then may be it is just a structural support for it to fit on the handle?
Don't you like speculation and assumptions?

You're going to solder the two pipes together? That makes the "downward pipe" the fill.
Excess pilot volume with a tiny pilot valve...might create an issue.

Maybe its a three way valve?

I'm pretty sure it's just a tee like thing for the pilot.

well that possible but the idea got me thinking, I dunno if this is the design he is using but it could make for a fairly compact easy to build small calibre three way valve. If you you dont mind about a slight leak into the chamber this could be built with pretty much just telescoping brass tubing and one floating oring.
edit: added slightly better picture

Aha. I understand how it works. very nice!

dose anyone know what would be the most psi something of this design could handle? thanks

It depends on what everything is made of and the quality of build. but by the looks of it maybe 400psi if you're lucky.

thanks yea im just not to sure bout that fill tube connection (still not that sure how much punishment epoxy can take) but now you said that, when i get a shock pump it will make me feel a bit better about maybe 300psi (still much better than the 80psi i am limited to atm)
thanks
