Saw this, looks kinda cool except I have yet to master welding thin steel.

Watch solid flat metal sheets being inflated like water balloons

I did that one time. When I lived in town, I had a 2-story house, with the garage downstairs. I built a gas tank. Just as I went to turn the compressor on to test for leaks the phone rang. I tuned the compressor on, and went up stairs to answer the phone. Got to gabbing with an old friend, then I remembered the gas tank. Ran down stairs opened the door to the garage:shocked:. The gas tank didn't look quite that bad, but bad enough I really didn't want to go over and turn the compressor off!:laughing:

I did not realize Air was so much more dangerous than H20

A pressure washer is safer.

That's the same guy who turned a turbo charger into a jet engine, then into a bbq grill.

same story when using a grease gun to push stuck pistons out of calipers instead of air ( the air shoots them across the shop, grease just goes plop )

Experiences come with age. The longer we live, the more experience we gain. If I live long enough, I might just write a book. Might call it Murphys Law, since my last name is Murphy and a lot of my experiences seem to fit
