Just amazing! There is something about American workmanship & perfection
Not as good as German engineering, but it'll do in a pinch I suppose.
I appreciate the effort you took to animate the assembly with stop motion.
Nice to have a full fab shop at your disposal. For the rest of us: Techshop is dead! Long live Techshop...
Hey, I am heading out for a ride and will leave this playlist running for my Puppy Sahara. She doesn't like to be alone, so you can talk to here for the next few hours and she will be happy and calm. Thanks for setting it up... TTYL....
Good luck be safe.
Finally might have a use for a 30 year old tin of STAG.
Awesome! Love the stop-motion animated assembling of the gauges! I'm a fan!
+andras888 check out the Silencer video it has some stop motion in it as well ua-cam.com/video/IrDhcfyM3vE/v-deo.html
Glad you like it, feel free to share on social media.
Nice project, but the opening at the bottom is meant to be a drain, and should be fitted with a plug or a drain valve. The relief valve can be fitted to the outlet using an additional 3-way Tee before the 4-way Tee. You will have condensation at the bottom of the tank when you use it, and that should be drained regularly to avoid corrosion in the tank. Also, you want to avoid letting that water go into the relief valve because it may cause it to fail (therefore fitting the relief valve to the bottom is risky).
+Saeed Abulhusn Glad you liked the project. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. www.botzen.com Check out the Instuctabes for this project here

Eric Strebel Very cool website, thanks for sharing!
Esas retortas ya traen válvula de drenaje en el fondo.
@James DeGray It doesn't make any sense to be doing what you are saying. A auto drain valve is completely different from this. Like Saeed says, it should not be mounted there and should be preferably installed perpendicular so no water collects in it----anyone that lives in a climate that freezes---you sure do not want water to freeze in a safety relief!
Watch my compressor upgrade video.
Nice
i liked the stop-motion magical self-assembly of components
Brilliant project idea!! I would have never thought of using a compressor from a fridge. Maybe in the future I'll build one with multiple compressors so it will fill up the tanks faster??
Fantastic video and audio production as well. Bravo!!
If you can make industrial rated solder joints and follow best engineering practices for high pressure air, you can use those compressors to build 600-2000PSI no problem. Don't though, high pressure is the shadow of death until you really know what you're doing.
Well done video. Clear, well explained and well edited. Unobtrusive music as well.
Nice build, good video. Enjoyed the stop motion segment. OK, now I'm playing the armchair quarterback. Hearing how quiet it ran was crucial, telling how long it took to fill the tank would have been nice. These types of compressors are cooled by the cool returning freon from the evaporator of the frig. Adding a fan to blow on the compressor would seem to be a good idea. The run times of this compressor are going to be long. Using common hand tools would have been more useful for others to mimic your idea. One other thing that you need to address is that the oil will travel along with the air. You need to design and install an oil trap to allow the oil to return to the compressor once it shuts down. Trust me, I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
See my latest video here ua-cam.com/video/JqqLwunF1ZE/v-deo.html and you can hear how quiet it is and learn about the oil, not an issue BTW, but the water is.
LOOKS LIKE YOU WORK IN FABRICATION WORKSHOP!!
MAKES THE JOB BETTER
Mr Eric i realy like how you explain every thing , you tha man bro thanks
Thank you for sharing this very useful tuto!
2nd video I've watched and I enjoy your creative videos. I subscribed! Can't wait to see more awesome ideas!
Excellent workmanship and excellent explanationn. Congratulations
+Aslan Ay Thanks glad you liked it. Hope you liked and subscribed. More fun stuff to follow.
We used to use old compressors in the 80 to air up bicycle tires when I was a kid.. We didn't have a tank we just went straight off the output of the compressor to a tire pump hose that was held on by a hose clamp.
Great video and explanation Eric, I would like to see more detail for the manifold attach point
As your compressor is rubber-mounted for anti-vibration, it would be worth putting a few coil-turns in the tank-line from the comp, to prevent cracking at the joints. Also, less vibration noise gets through the pipe.
You could even use a pressure hose. A bit easier to fit at least without the pipe tools and skills, and even more vibration resistant than a coiled pipe. I have to admit it probably wouldn't look as professional as a a copper tube.
nlo114 use hydraulic hose instead.
Great project and great video. Thanks for uploading
Hi there, Thanks a lot for a great and fast learning video, I liked so much. Good luck and God bless, Mike
Bro, you have all the cool tools and a dream job!
You're finally using CAD. Cardboard Aided Design.
Has thousands of dollars of metal working equipment, Has to borrow a Ten dollar tubing bender-flare kit. LOL
great vidieo lenny would be proud to have the motorhead logo on your compressor. RIP lenny!!!!!!!!
Outstanding. Really. Thank you.
Would be perfect for airbrushing. I hope to try making my own.
Keith Graham Yes, it would work very well for something like that! Thanks for your comment, feel free to share on social media, if you want! thanks
Great project and yes a very quiet compressor but also very slow to fill the tank as a refrigerator compressor has a very low rate of cfm an automotive a/c compressor along with an electric motor is a little louder but has a much higher rate of cfm and can also be used as a vacuum pump.
I like your stop-motion.
Yeah that was really a nice touch
Thanks 😀
That's pretty impressive. Great job.
Thanks Ace Futura glad you enjoyed the content. Feel free to share and thanks for your support!
Nice work!
Thanks
500k views almost. Amazing and congrats eric
Crazy, right 😀
The pseudo silencer on the intake is a nice touch.
Dodgy Brothers Engineering yup, its what makes it ultra quiet, look for a new updated compressor video soon, you can see the new tank on my latest video from this week about making tools with a laser ua-cam.com/video/1w90HFXHTew/v-deo.html
Nice job, thanks.
Excellent video.
VERY NICE, EASY TO UNDERSTAND , THANKS A BUNCH
Glad you liked it! Feel free to share it on Social media. SANG THONG
Very creative project and well produced video. But please spring for a box to put the electrical connections and socket in, and please pick up a pair of quick-connect crimpers.
Very good project and well done. But NOT a typical DIY. Most guy would just get one at the store saved time, money for tools, and etc.
😀
Sorry Eric, I just saw that you upgraded the yellow compressor. And I could see you put the safety valve on top. Great job!! Have a nice day!
Thanks 👍
Normal refrigeration oil can be hygroscopic, that's the only issue with using it for the "air compressor" in this case. Either way that isn't a problem, I would just use regulator air compressor mineral oil, not motor oil since it is rough and not meant for these sensitive refrigeration compressors. It is also cheap and easy to buy. Change it often and you will be fine since refrigeration compressors are designed to work with thin mineral oil/poe/pag/akb etc. but thick motor oil might be a problem over time. It might be fine, but it's cheap to get mineral oil and it will work for years with no problem. Either way, this will make a nice quiet slow air compressor easily.
Thanks for the information, much appreciated
@@EricStrebel No problemo! I have been using a rotary compressor as a vacuum pump for years with the mineral oil it came with and it still works fine. Moisture in the oil is a bad thing when it's in a refrigeration system but the compressor doesn't mind it much. Not only that but since they get quite hot I am sure most excess moisture evaporates when being used as an air compressor or vacuum pump.
1st video of your I've seen so far. Man you sure have some nice fab tools at your disposal!! I'm aroud a lot at work myself, then you come home and always try to make tools to make tools lol. great video. I think I may look into building one of these to replace my homemade air brush compressor. I made one of the $200 ones I see online out of a $60 harbor freight compressor and a throw away 1.5gal tire tank. Works but its been through a house fire so it looks like one of these would do way better
shawng7902 thanks for the comment and support!
Nice job ...Thanks
Well done
Nice! ... like the idea about use these part of old PC!
Arthur Moreira yeah, I save stuff like that. good heavy gauge for stuff like that. rock on!
old towers are great for fabricating.
Great Eric Thanx!
edelmann and other brass suppliers sell a kit that has all the connectors you need to make an air storage bottle. - these kits are also great for this purpose.
well done ....thumb up amigo
Abdulhameed Eid Alabd Thanks man! Don't forget to check out my Kickstarter campaign for the "Alfred" Backpack hanger kck.st/2Yi2Qnd thanks for your comment and support much appreciated.
Wonderful
"Swage" is what you did with the copper tube. Flaring tool forms a taper, or bell to the end of the tube. Nice job on your compressor and video! Looking forward to finding out how long it lasts, I hope that engine oil works out. :)
+ImAdapt73 thanks for the moment. So far so good, no issues with the motor. The electronics, have already been replaced, the relay quit! Thanks for the info. Hope you liked and subscribed, more stuff in the future when I get some free time.
I saw the whole video and you would think after 10 minutes you would at least have the sound of the air compressor. I wanted to hear how quiet it was.
so quiet it's not worth focusing on, really it's that quiet! Most of the time I don't even hear it turn on, I just hear the relay click on and off to start the compressor. You are not missing anything with out the the sound.
exactly!
Around the 9:35 mark you can actually hear the compressor running. Sounds just like a quite fridge. It’s just so quiet that it doesn’t overpower the music and talking, but it’s there.
Yeah, I completely agree with you. Maybe it is ultra-quiet, but I still want to hear what that ultra=quiet compressor sounds like in the real world. It would be better than that music, that is for sure.
Or you could just go listen to your own fridge
muito bom seu video, montei um parecido e gostaria de saber se o seu tem muito cheiro do oleo no ar comprimido ?
Sweet Vermont shirt.
Renting for free is called borrowing.... no?...
Nice build. Definitely going to build one!!!!
There is a deposit involved, so I call it renting.Neonblue Industries but of luck with your build
Coool. I like that Motorhead logo on it :)
great video!
+Nick DeJesus

Very Nice!!!
Very cool, and great job... I so wish this was faster, but like how quiet is it. It would have been nice to have the video listen to the compressor working so we could get an idea how quiet it is. Thanks
Bro do you know what a refrigerator sounds like? Yes? Good.. Well it sounds like that.
O
shafferjoe1962: Like Thomas barlow says wait for your refrigerator to come on and listen. Sounds like pssst on, pssst off. That's it. these compressors were made commercially and sold for $375.00 in 1980. I had one for airbrush art work. I lived in a condo and could run it in my Den and not annoy my next door neighbors. Nice job Eric!
Eric: I still have that old compressor. I haven't used it for many years. I have a garage now so I don't need the silent compressor. I have to take it apart though. Something inside is rattling when I turned it on. It is no longer silent. :O) It has a large clamp similar to a hose clamp around the center of the tank where the weld was, so, opening it will be easy. I am curious and have to attack that project. There is a lot of dis-assembly videos if I have a problem. Maybe I can fix it.
Makes me want proper sheet metal equipment.
excelenteeeeee!!!!!!!
Hi thanks for the useful video. Does the oil inside the compressor not pump out into the tank? I've just tested a fridge compressor I pulled out of an old fridge and the oil inside started spurting out one of the copper pipes hence my question.
Very nice build and very pretty too! ........ probably only useful to run an air brush............
Gary Waters it works well for blowing dust and chips of parts, it would work very well for airbrushing
Brad nail gun would work here. Probably get 100 shots for that tank (more than a upholstered seat's worth), recharge time wouldn't matter as much.
Refrigeration compressors are made to move oil around the system to lubricate the other parts. You will get oil in your compressed air and the compressor will run out of oil and that is it.
Eldon Ashbaugh actually I don't find that to be the case. The compressor is meant to move freon and it moves a bit of oil when it does that. I have not seen any oil or water in my tank thus far after over a year of shop use. I don't see any in my trap either. Quite the reliable unit actually thus far.
Your video is the most explanatory out there!!!At 6:30' there is nothing left out for someones imagination!!! well done....oh and the stop motion video....is this a series of pictures while assemblying everything together?
no he's a magician- the parts dance around on their own...
Nice built and good explaination can you give out the nsme of background music?
Will this work on a 175 psi 20 gal system
Great t shirt!
Here is a update on my comments below Eric. I finally figured out why these compressors do not always start after being switched on immediately after running. Normally you have to wait 1 to 3 minutes for them to restart. This is because they are induction motors. Because of them low torque of them, they need the wait time, for the mags to align properly to start rotation again.
I have cured this in my latest jewelry compressor I built. 3 things you can do. First use a Condor Mr11GC2E pressure switch. This pressure switch has two screws. With these you can set your cut on press. at 60 and your cut in press. at 125. This will give ample wait time usually between run times if your using GRS equipment that runs at about 25 psi. If you need more time, between start and stops, use a 10 gallon tank instead of these 6 gallon ones. These compressors can pump them up to 120 easily. This will also give you more off time between runs. Lastly if you really want to cure the problem of not starting without waiting 1 to 3 minutes......on your compressor, be sure you have a PTC relay, a overload switch, and a 12 - 15 uf run capacitor. Usually your compressor will have these on them. Then, to the run capacitor, hook a Supco SPP-5 hard start kit. This simply hooks piggyback to the run capacitor wires. It increases starting torque by 300%. ( make sure your compressor is at least a 1/3 hp). I used this on mine, and it will immediately start everytime, with no wait time. This sounds like the easiest fix for these induction compressors.....but , I don't not know, over the long time, if it will shorten my compressor windings. I suppose I will know in a yr or two.
Lastly, for those of you, that say these compressor overheat......Always hook a air filter to the suction port, AND the process or service port.....this will let the compressor suck air in both ports and cool it better. Also, only use it in rooms with less than 90 degree air temp. This is all that is required to keep them cooled from what I am told by designers. Good Luck. I hope to post my own You tube video build, once I have better internet.
Great, information! Thanks for posting and sharing with everyone. Look forward to what you post John Nord
There is no unloader in the system. The compressed air can prevent another compression stroke. Get a pressure switch with an unloader, and install it in the system to prevent the compression lockdown. The unloader allows the cylinder compression to bleed off, which allows another compression stroke.
Great video! neat looking piece of machine, i like the motorhead sticker though. I also made an air compressor out of refrigerator compressor and its damn silent compare to may belt type compressor. if you can enlighten me about the refrigerator compressor that i use because it pump a lot of oil out of the compressor through the tank. Don't know what to do about it? Thank you
nice
superb
+Carlos Canales Nieto Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been looking for years for some way to do this, now I know thanks to you! Greetings from Mexico.
Best of luck, post back here if you were successful and what you put together, look forward to hearing about it.
Did you left the starter relay and overload protection ? of the refrigerator compressor ?
Nice video. Good editing.
How many cfm do you figure you get from it? What tools can you use more or less continuously without having to wait.
FWIW: Friend did this but used a 30 gallon water tank as the reservoir. Would take 45 minutes to fill, but that gave him 10 minutes of 40-60 two-inch crown staples per minute for 10 mintues. (Building bee hives.) Since it took about 45 mintues to set up all the jigs for the next 50 frames it was a good match. In general I suspect that a larger tank would be useful if you hve room for it.
Hey Eric, I wonder, What about the oil you swapped out? Those compressors pump out their oil eventually and burn out. How do you keep it from doing that and does'nt oil travel through the air line into the things you're pumping air into? Thanks. I have used these as a vacuum but now want to do it for a compressor for a project I have going on. Would really appreciate a reply as I'm a bit perplexed to the oil issue. Great work
Just how quiet do you need an under performing compressor to be? You can afford all of that metal shop equipment, but you use an unmounted hack saw blade to cut copper tubing? You can get a 2HP 4 gallon oil lubricated compressor from Harbor Freight Tools for $150 regular price. I have had one for at least 12 years and it still works great and is very quiet especially compared to oil free compressors. While most of the work looks well done, it seems like a lot of work for little reward, especially scrounging all of the parts!
This was a really good video, the only thing you didn't explain is how you threaded the barbasol bottle to the compressor to make the muffler?
I do heating and cooling what if I put a 5-ton compressor from an AC unit
Hearing the actual compressor and a DB test instead of music and the voice over would of been nice
Yeah, it would, but there is really nothing to hear any way.
Would have** not "would of"....
Would of, would of, would of!!! Get a life.
@@CorbinAce "would of" literally makes no sense. An idiot says "would of", a person who doesn't know how to speak properly. Speak intelligently so that others understand what you're saying. ESPECIALLY on an online forum such as this.
GET A LIFE!!!
Two thing of note in this video: , use a refrigerator compressor, and change out the oil. Oh, it helps if you have a metal working shop.
How does the refrigeration compressor keep its cool? It’s obviously not designed to be air cooled from what little know I’m assuming that the returning Freon gas from the evaporator is still cool enough to keep the compressor cool, seeing as the compressor is now drawing in air at ambient temperature I would have thought it would overheat.
Also as you put the relief valve in the tank water drain how do you drain the water from the tank?
Do you happen to know the CFM measurements from this build? Looking at other options for metal engraving need a certain CFM value and PSI to operate a tool. This appears to be a much cheaper alternative.
Putting the relief valve at the bottom is not "risky" but outright dangerous, you have bought a tank which used to be part of a compressor similar to what you have build, that means it is probably rated @ 11-12 bar(160-175 psi) which the old refrigerator compressor can pump easily, if the pressure switch fails you have a bom in your garage.
The relief valve will fail after a year or so because of rust build up in the valve, the vessel is made of steel that will rust due to condensation in the vessel.
The bottom connection is meant for draining, you will need to add another tee to th top connection to provide for the safety valve.
Otherwise, nicejob :-)
robber576 check out the update to the build ua-cam.com/video/JqqLwunF1ZE/v-deo.html relief valve moved, thanks for your comment, much appreciated, feel free to share on social media
Hello Eric, it's a beautiful creation that must be usefull to you, it's beautifully done. One thing bothers me, and it's not the tin solder. The bottom of the tank must be equipped with a drain to let the condensation out and it's a kind of muddy water. However, you installed the safety valve, at a low point. It may therefore not work if it is reached by this water when moving the compressor for example.
I advise you to replace it with a small drain valve and install it on the top of the tank.
Thanks for your comment and support. Check out the follow up video, this should address your concerns ua-cam.com/video/JqqLwunF1ZE/v-deo.html cheers!
How do you start up the compressor? It has 3 connections, but you only connect 2 cables (plus PE of course). How are you starting the compressor as it has these three power/start/run terminals?
Not bad!
+Ovais Saand Glad you like it. Make sure you like and subscribe. Thanks!
I would have added cable ties between the mains IDC socket and the plate above to hold it as well as the epoxy. drill a couple of holes in the plate above and thread them through making a loop. For a bit more safety, you can also get an IDC socket with a fuse built in.
Just a couple of questions: Where does the water collect (in the tank probably) and how do you evacuate it? Did it take long to fill the tank? The fridge compressor isn't a fast mechanism.
You can, see my latest video here ua-cam.com/video/JqqLwunF1ZE/v-deo.html and you can hear how quiet it is and learn about the water issue.
Hi Eric . just viewed this . looks good ,if you wanted a quicker fill possibly 2 compressors on top ?? What sort of Amps is that compressor using 3 or 4 Amps ?? hope to hear from you ,Don
I looked to see if there is a rating in the motor for the amps, nothing is listed on the label, sorry
Hi, what do you use as background music.. very nice
great video. just getting into metal work...what kind of hole punch is that?
minskmade sorry, I have no idea, it's what was accessible to me at the time of making the video. Definitely a handy tool if you have access to one, otherwise a drill press should work just fine as well.
Hi Eric,
Great instructional video. Thanks in large part to your video, I’ve made 15+ compressors for others (from different brand tanks and from dehumidifier, refrigerator, room AC compressors) and all worked fine. I’ve recently come across a problem I can’t seem to resolve.
Using AC compressor, Porter Cable 6 gal compressor, new 4way pressure switch with unloader valve,
After filling the tank, with no leaks, etc. when the unit shuts down oil vapor (smoke) comes out of the unloader switch…..just for a minute or so. Then it stops. I’ve tried this with the compressor cold (so no thermal issue) and from either, Empty to full pressure OR from cut in to full pressure.
Still get the vapor (which does smell a bit).
So I put a different compressor (from a dehumidifier) on it and still same problem.
These were from a working AC and dehumidifier. This is nothing different than I’ve done in the past, except now I get the oil vapor. (YET….”something must be” different to cause this.
Any suggestions as to Why this is happening and How to remedy it, would be really appreciated.
I’m stumped !!
(as an aside…..on the others I’ve built, on purpose, I ran them from empty to full repeatedly till the thermal switch would stop it……and no vapor !!!!)
Do you have a one way check valve in the system? You need that so the compressor can start with out being under pressure and it should prevent vapor going to to the compressor
@@EricStrebel Thanks Eric; yes I have a one way check valve and I believe it’s functioning OK. The tank holds pressure long after it’s shut off.
I’m just baffled on this. I’ve built so many in the past and they’ve all worked fine. Again thanks for your reply.
Dunno, definitely sounds like and odd situation
@@EricStrebel That's what I think too. It's frustrating for sure. But at 78, I'll keep at it being a stick-to-it kinda' guy.
Best of luck
What is the flow rate on a system like this? How difficult would it be to adjust the design to be switchable between compressor and vacuum pump modes, or just vacuum mode? It looks like alls you'd need to do is switch a couple pipes around. Has anyone tried this?
I laughed at how they put the check valve on the tank. When all fridge compressors has a built in check valve on the discharge line 😂
I laughed because I don't know what my tank is rated for, probably less than the compressor would be my guess.....
Is it still operating? I'm making one myself, was the 10-40 oil a good swap? Any oil changes so far? I read all about the problems with moisture and etc etc etc.....you read up yourself. And lastly was your compressor running pretty warm mine is staying steady at 150 f and I'm not sure if thats normal or too high.
Yes, still running, there is a follow up video with a new tank and some adjusts, oil is the same oil, unit never really runs long enough to get more than warm, works flawlessly and very silent!
Good day, just wanted to ask how would you unstick a stuck up ref compressor? It was repurposed to inflate car tires but when I used it to inflate an inflatable pool, it was running for about 30 mins then it got stuck up. Thank you very much!
It sounds like it seized, I don't know how to unstick it. Good luck
@@EricStrebel thank you!
Flaaare!!!! Heeat!!
Thanks it a great video tutorial Eric! This video is one of my references when i builded my own air compressor out of a fridge compressor, its a two 1/2hp fridge comp and a 20kg propane tank. i noticed that you replaced the factory oil with 10w40 synthetic motor oil, right? and before putting new oil did you flush it with solvent (ac flush, isoprophyl alcohol, lacquer/paint thinner)?
Thanks again.
Good luck, I just changed the oil, I did not flush it with anything, watch the follow up video as well.
hi. great. will it be suitable as air compressor for dusting off dust in carpentry for example? will it also be possible to use it as power source to release car wheel screws?
just for dusting off stuff.
@@EricStrebel many thanks
I want to use the vacuum side to suck up some biogas can I still keep it quiet?
Sure, don't see why not, just put the silencer on the other side
can I still use a compressor that I've grinded open? I understand that it needs the oil for lubrication but If i have it sitting in its casing in oil will it still function properly?
I have no idea Easter Bunny, try it and see what happens. Make a video and share it with the world so we can find out the answer. Good luck. Thanks for your support and comment. Feel free to share on social media!
hallo sir,
how to make a product logo writing like you, what materials used thank you
