tig welding aluminum

Making your own air tank? It isn’t on the list of good ideas, but for purely educational purposes I had to try. It actually turned out to be air-tight and it didn’t explode so all in all it was a good test. To add onto the success all of its components were made from recylced aluminum. For instance, the main cylinder came from an old umbrella and the end pieces were from scrap plate. All in all, was the project fun? Yes!! it was a blast! If you do attempt to make your own air tank DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!! I am not responsible for what you create so please use your best judgement! With that said, Have a Fantastic Day!
