Because you need too much large diameter pipe to make the chamber. And I was going to maybe make one with my 20 foot piece of 8" but I didn't think it would be safe at 150 psi. All you really need is a motor attached to a pump and check valve, attached to the air tank with a female QC tapped into the air chamber.

Jeez, it's not that hard. I just explained all you have to do. You have 419 posts, you should have picked something up submitting them all.

Yeah because this is an air compressor forum right? No people don't really talk about making compressors here and it would help a lot of people to have one.

*passes out tampons to everyone* Stop argueing about stupid stuff like this. Everyone gets into little pussy fights over a small detail and it clutters the tread and forum. So stop your complaining and say your sorry. NOW!
