Have you decided on something?
Favourite movie quote perhaps?

I have not been so active the last time on SF, but I made a video today about my fridgecompressor. Why? Well I guess some people here don't know how a fridgecompressor works, so I made a quick demo.

Oh and uh.. about the letters on the barrel support.. I stamped the year I "finished" it.. Well it's not finished yet but I am sure it will be this year! The reason why I wasn't so active (with my hobby) was becouse of the cold weather.. But nice weather is comming, so more work is comming too 8)

I don't have a cooling fan. And ehh about the timelapse.. It's actually pumping without the gun attached, but I had to film more clips, so I decided to keep it short. Also there were alot of people outside becouse of the nice weather.. I will never shoot when there are people any near. I have to find a place to shoot... :roll:

@c11man
ohh i remember that one... how well does the fan work?? have you added an air reservoir to it?

@jack
hmm you've got a strange QC on it... strange because the hose looks like a hydraulics high pressure hose but the QC looks more like a traditional low pressur QV used on compressors, tools and stuff like that

ohh you might also want to check polyamide tubing & push-to-connect fitting... not very popular here but definitely cool
clicky
it's rated high, it''s light and it's is cheap...

You can get copper ones as well, shark bite fittings are made here in Australia however you can buy them in other parts of the world. Popular in USA now. http://www.sharkbite.com.au/ .

@onewing
well yeah but it isn't exactly the same... polyamide tubing is flexible... you just push one end of the tubing into the fitting and it connects while the thing you linked to uses compression fittings
