    Another 120 Gallon Compressor Tank RF Build. Appreciate any help.

    Changed the door handle today and gave it a brush coat of paint  to halt rusting.  Still waiting on thermometers and a decision on counterweight design, so more welding ahead.  Added two gaskets I salvaged from a GE double oven we had to replace.  Used high temp red gasket silicone as adhesive...

    Just for the fun of it, from dimensions, I have a retired school and college friend (engineer type) working on geometry and physics of it to arrive at a 15 lbs lift weight for the door with minimal protrusion off the back of the unit.  Will advise.  Ran out of wire so exchanged bottles today (60...

    No suggestions on counterbalance design?

    Counterbalance.  What is a simple way to determine what is needed?  The way my hinges are made, they act as the stop so no need to plan the counterweight as a stop mechanism.  I'm just awfully rusty on the physics needed to figure out a simple counterweight.  Available is 1" box tubing 1/8" wall...

     I suspect that very high pressure tanks likely have testing/re-certification requirements but most common shop tanks are about 200 psi and do not.

    Dave, I made this axle on my lathe but damaged it putting the smoker back on the frame by too much downward pressure from my tractor forks.  Straightened it as best I could using torch and anvil. Jerry

    Spent time today tuning the CC door with pretty good results.  Welded on 2 clamps but didn't care for them so cut the welds.  Looking for a different design for cc hold down clamps.  Also straightened bent axle. Jerry

    Another 120 Gallon Compressor Tank RF Build. Appreciate any help.

    Lots of new pictures including grates, chimney damper, new larger wheels, handle for the CC door.  I had lifted the smoker off the frame 2  days ago to be able to install 12" 350# wheels from Northern tool.  Their 10", 250# wheels couldn't cut it.  Had fabricated the axle for the 10" wheels from...
