Had three compressors like that in the basement of the bowling alley where I and my father-in-law worked in the 70's that had been there since it was built in the 1950's. They were still in use when it closed down in around 2015. Never failed.
In the late 90s, I worked at Sears in the tool department. I was told that the oil free compressors were only designed to run about 25 total hours. Don’t know how true that is, but for the average homeowner who uses his oil free compressor to pump the occasional tire and use the occasional air tool, accumulating 25 hours of run time could take years. The more I see the junk compressors fail, the more I believe what I was told. Great episode as always! Love the old compressor. Should have shouted ‘IT’S ALIVE’ when she started up!
Reusing what you have, and know it works , instead of possibly buying brand new junk? I’m in! Glad you got the dragon breathing fire again. Backyard butchery, hillbilly engineering, what ever it takes to make it work. Thanks Chad! God bless 🙂
I love this. The tank in my compressor rusted out a couple years ago. I tried adapting and expansion tank and it was rusted out too! So I picked up a 30 gallon tank on FB market[lace for $45. Put everything together and I am back up and running. It's smart improvising with that parts you have handy, and saves a LOT of money!
I love your saying. Use what you have. I do the same. Don’t buy anything if I don’t need to. Just love the backyard butchery compressor. Great job, most excellent video. Love your channel!
Ta daaaa! There you are . Nice surprise and a welcome one. Yes sir. To comment on your comment at the end. Using what you have is what makes for a very interesting and satisfying experience. Those that can do so and have the understanding to do so know how you feel when you adapt stuff to make other stuff work. Well done!
We mounted one similarly, but I think we used some squares of an old mud flap and tire to isolate the engine vibration to the tank, and the switch box we had on it was also isolated with rubber. Same thing with the feet being rubber isolated to the ground. Love that new welding table. Gotta save that spensive stuff, no need in it going to waste! Great Job!
Vise is sitting next to the other vise on your work table Chad, I just noticed it there! Don’t worry, I do the same thing myself! lol 😂 😂😂 Expanded metal or grading would be nice for a bottom shelf on your welding table Chad, all the grinding dust wouldn’t accumulate on the shelf! All the grinding dust would fall through! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That was a fun sound dragging that big ol' table across the garage. Nice to see you on a Sunday night for a fun little project!! Hope it keep you warm tonight, brrr
I'm not sure your big plan for that welding table Chad, but one thing I did (I build one similar to yours) I did a shelf halfway down but I also welded a bunch of hooks along 2 sides so I hang my grinders and different corded tools from the hooks. Makes finding all my corded stuff pretty easy.. Plus I have some chain hanging on the other side, I use it a lot so I keep it handy, the rest is on the door of my one closet, but point is.. it's a good idea if you want it, hooks under the tabletop on the edges. It's handy as a pocket on a t shirt.
Great way to save money and utilize what you have at hand! Loved the video and look forward to the next one. Keep it up and keep on doing what you do. thank you for the knowledge you share with all of us.
Excellent video Chad :) like how fix on parts needed and make work too! I do same thing too and like tinkering away to also improve impressed myself too! Never give till say fine and dandy it done ✔! LOL
Belt driven compressors are definitely the best longest lasting and quiet compressors you can run. Those direct drive are loud and irritating and don't last. Cudos to you my friend for doing what you did. Best choice
Hey Mr Chad. Really enjoyed your video! The olo' Shop is slowly but surely coming together. Boy that steel table was really screamin' when you pulled it across that concrete. And I know it was heavy! I enjoy watchin' you work on cars or trucks or tractors or shop equipment!! looking forward to your next video. Hope your knee gets to feeling better.
Hi, just watching this video of yours that you were dragging your table. I put two wheels on the end of one end of the table so you can slightly tip it and you can pull it around a lot easier hope this will help you.
How does a man lose a vise? 😂 Love the fact you use what you have on hand, you’re basically heating your house for the cost of electricity to run the blower and a compressor…genius!
Hi Mr. Chad, let me guess, the old compressor was made in America 🇺🇸 by American citizens. The junk they sell today, is junk. Great video thanks for sharing it us.
Need casters on the welding table, so it can be moved around if needed, and not scratch up the concrete etc. Also is the motor on the compressor loose?? Looks like it moved from left to right when you first plugged it in.
I think it's going to probably live longer than any of the new ones that you are going to pay at least $250 for. Heck if you got it and can make it work then why buy a new one anyway!👍👍
Hi chad great video as always i was wondering could u put something on the back of your grinder so that when your using it the sparks will be directed away from u to what ever direction u want them go to go,just thaught ide ask as maybe that would be good for you and i suggested this as ive seen it on other videos and i thaught u mite like the idea anyways stay safe and see you in your next video brother.
Chad tank size won’t make much difference. Small tank the compressor will turn on more often but run a shorter time. Larger tank the compressor will stay off longer but run longer when it does start.
My wife asks me EVERY time I go to workin' on something.. "how long do you think it'll take...?" I always tell her ah give me about an hour babe.. it'll be about an hour. Generally the next day when I finally get it finished she says "why do you ALWYAYS say it'll be an hour and it takes you all day to do it..??" The answer is STOP asking me HOW LONG it's going to take, you already know it'll be about an hour babe!! : )
My favorite line from your channel is " I found it I found it "
Nothing like a visit from Chad on Sunday evening!!!!!

Great episode as always! Love the old compressor. Should have shouted ‘IT’S ALIVE’ when she started up!
I too have to look for tools hidden in plain sight, always enjoy watching what you do I usually learn something new on every show.
Reusing what you have, and know it works , instead of possibly buying brand new junk? I’m in! Glad you got the dragon breathing fire again. Backyard butchery, hillbilly engineering, what ever it takes to make it work. Thanks Chad! God bless 🙂
What a pleasant surprise getting to watch your video on Sunday, thank you Chad Larry and Sandy
Hi Chad, thoroughly enjoyed your video, thank you for posting a second one this week, it is really appreciated, i hope your mum is feeling better
What a pleasant surprise, a little This ‘n That on a Sunday night…all is right with the world. 😎✌🏼

Great work on the air compressor! I learn something about them 😊today! Thanks for sharing!
Nice job, those old compressors are bullet proof, new ones are junk 👍
I've been enjoying the side projects. Hope they keep coming.
Enjoyed the picture show 😊
Take care and thanks for sharing Chad, keep warm brother! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌🏻✌🏻🙋🏼
Ta daaaa! There you are . Nice surprise and a welcome one. Yes sir.

Well done!
As usual nice job Chad! Just a friendly suggestion, try putting wheels on your new table,locking style. It will make life easier for you.
That welding table could use some locking wheels to make it easier to relocate in the shop.
That is the way to get the heat back going. I think you did the best way you could have, always wanted to save a dollar when I could too.
The table scream could be used for some Jurassic Park sound effects.😂😂
Well this video was a pleasant surprise! Thanks Chad!
Nothing better than watching backyard butchery.
We mounted one similarly, but I think we used some squares of an old mud flap and tire to isolate the engine vibration to the tank, and the switch box we had on it was also isolated with rubber. Same thing with the feet being rubber isolated to the ground. Love that new welding table. Gotta save that spensive stuff, no need in it going to waste! Great Job!
Chad that's how we were raised use what you have, always good to see you on your extra channel.
Genius idea on getting your compressor fixed, I approve =)
The clip with you draging table much appreciated! It made me lol! I know how heavy thoses tables can be.
😂
I enjoyed that little project.
Vise is sitting next to the other vise on your work table Chad, I just noticed it there! Don’t worry, I do the same thing myself! lol 😂 😂😂 Expanded metal or grading would be nice for a bottom shelf on your welding table Chad, all the grinding dust wouldn’t accumulate on the shelf! All the grinding dust would fall through! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I built one for work. Used a tank from a semi truck. Had loss control look it over and got it approved. Used it for 15 years!!
Dropping dust thru the hole to mark it is GENIUS 💯
That was a fun sound dragging that big ol' table across the garage. Nice to see you on a Sunday night for a fun little project!! Hope it keep you warm tonight, brrr
That table is a nice addition Chad great video man
"I use what I have." That's it right there.
I'm not sure your big plan for that welding table Chad, but one thing I did (I build one similar to yours) I did a shelf halfway down but I also welded a bunch of hooks along 2 sides so I hang my grinders and different corded tools from the hooks.

It's handy as a pocket on a t shirt.
Good motto 'use what you have'.
chad sir, the hands down best video of the week! awesome engineering.
I used swaglok for decades. Best compression fittings. Sleeve of ferrules is handy for the fittings bucket 👍🏻
i do back yard butchery my self love it works ever time love these videos keepem commin😊
Yes sir! That old compressor will most likely out run any new stuff you can buy! Besides you already have the old one n its paid for! Good choice!
What a nice table Chad. I know you'll get a ton of good work /weldin' done that that there iron table!!
I did the same thing but I mounted it on my portable pressure tank I used to carry for blowing up tires. Still use it.
Great way to save money and utilize what you have at hand! Loved the video and look forward to the next one. Keep it up and keep on doing what you do. thank you for the knowledge you share with all of us.
Sunday shop work with Chad! Awesome treat!
Excellent video Chad :) like how fix on parts needed and make work too! I do same thing too and like tinkering away to also improve impressed myself too! Never give till say fine and dandy it done ✔! LOL
Awesome! You can fix anything I love it.
Belt driven compressors are definitely the best longest lasting and quiet compressors you can run. Those direct drive are loud and irritating and don't last. Cudos to you my friend for doing what you did. Best choice
Like the quote back yard butchery certified.
Great use of what you have and why you never throw away good parts
Lol I was curious if you was gonna mess with this thing I remember you showing me that it was broken😜absolutely awesome dude!
I enjoy seeing these projects thanks for sharing I'd love to see more on the fiery dragon
I really enjoy these videos, thank you.
Hey Mr Chad. Really enjoyed your video! The olo' Shop is slowly but surely coming together. Boy that steel table was really screamin' when you pulled it across that concrete. And I know it was heavy! I enjoy watchin' you work on cars or trucks or tractors or shop equipment!! looking forward to your next video. Hope your knee gets to feeling better.
And good God! You had to drag that table across the floor like that🤦 hahaha still love ya no matter what dude! No scary noise is gonna keep me away😜
I saw your used a punch to guide the drill bit, bravo
Hi, just watching this video of yours that you were dragging your table. I put two wheels on the end of one end of the table so you can slightly tip it and you can pull it around a lot easier hope this will help you.
Everyone needs one of them "Bucket o Fittings"
It's a lifesaver!
How does a man lose a vise? 😂 Love the fact you use what you have on hand, you’re basically heating your house for the cost of electricity to run the blower and a compressor…genius!
I look forward to your videos good way too start the day
I agree Chad the old stuff is better thanks for the video
My fillings fell out when u were dragging that welding table ....nails on a chalk board...yup lol
😁
There’s a lot to be said about the older stuff😁😁👍👍
My favorite line is Go do something. I use it at my job and it makes me laugh every time I say it.
Great ideas. Great video
Hi Mr. Chad, let me guess, the old compressor was made in America 🇺🇸 by American citizens. The junk they sell today, is junk. Great video thanks for sharing it us.
Heya y'all! Hope all's well with you guys and that everyone had a wonderful weekend! See you'uns Wed! 💙🙏🏼
Very nice hay long at work be a good one
Don't worry, spring is just down the block, but with the earth in a cooling period it may be a long block.
I like the enginuity but wont the compressor run constantly with such a small air tank?
that was a great acheivement chad!
Great video Chad I can't wait to see what motor you put in the 40 and will you build the motor and video it?
This is great using what you have to make it work. Question: why didn't you combine the two welding tables. And have a larger work surface?
Good work This N That!
Thanks for another , Brother !
Now that is using the old noggin!!
I MEEN NO DIC WITH MY COMMENT JUST LOOKING OUT FOR YOU PAL, AND THE CONTENT I'V COME TO ENJOY EVERY WEEK,
It works !! Good butchery. What was the knocking noise when you fired up the dragon?
When it comes to air fittings, I have better luck sealing threaded joints with blue thread locker than the tape.
cant wait to see that 40 run n drive been here threw it all u do it ur way its the only way from ky we do it same way lol
I went by Wally world the other day an seen that same good year compressor there , that's explains why the motor committed suicide ....😂
that welding tables like fingernails on a chalkboard
Need casters on the welding table, so it can be moved around if needed, and not scratch up the concrete etc. Also is the motor on the compressor loose?? Looks like it moved from left to right when you first plugged it in.
It breathes again!
Your so funny bro. Where's my vise 😂😂😂
Cheers mate!
I think it's going to probably live longer than any of the new ones that you are going to pay at least $250 for. Heck if you got it and can make it work then why buy a new one anyway!👍👍
Hi chad great video as always i was wondering could u put something on the back of your grinder so that when your using it the sparks will be directed away from u to what ever direction u want them go to go,just thaught ide ask as maybe that would be good for you and i suggested this as ive seen it on other videos and i thaught u mite like the idea anyways stay safe and see you in your next video brother.
It already has a shield there.
Here for support
Thanks for the video sir
It was like finding Waldo I seen it right next to the other vice
I think I heard you move that table from Indiana
Chad tank size won’t make much difference. Small tank the compressor will turn on more often but run a shorter time. Larger tank the compressor will stay off longer but run longer when it does start.
I have been wondering what you were going to do for the fiery dragon
UA-cam some black or red water hose and put it around your welding table to keep you from from stabbing yourself getting cut on
Edge of table
More great content!
My wife asks me EVERY time I go to workin' on something.. "how long do you think it'll take...?" I always tell her ah give me about an hour babe.. it'll be about an hour. Generally the next day when I finally get it finished she says "why do you ALWYAYS say it'll be an hour and it takes you all day to do it..??" The answer is STOP asking me HOW LONG it's going to take, you already know it'll be about an hour babe!! : )
You know if that was me I'd had to redo that Teflon tape every time even though I know witch way it's supposed to go
I would like to have one of those vices for my Rv off of the bumper, where can I get an Old One?...
Marketplace maybe?
Well I'll Be Dipped!☃️☃️
I enjoy the problem solving and fabrication.
