Nice; good job containing primer, and pretty nice design overall.

It's worth noting, however, that you are using DWV fittings on the air chamber. I'd reccomend re-builing that part if you can, just for saftey reasons.

Yeah i'm in Australia. The sizes and types of pipe that i can buy around me are very limited. Very expensive here too.

The highest pressure i went to with this thing was about 1400 kpa. The battery i was using with tape wraped around it was destroyed. Now i am using a large screw/bolt/something with tape wraped around it.

At 130 Psi the bolt thingy did a quater turn and broke a 3/4" thick piece of pine about 2 feet long and one foot wide into two halfs. Hooray!

Why complicate when you can go the easy way?
