Yeah, a lot of us too poor for our hobbies do this trick. Remember that the weakest part will fail first. Also hoses can put the dangerous bits on the other side of a wall...
@@MeleeTiger if you mean the nut on the side, that is greasing port, probably already ground down. mechanics press in the grease through there so the joint doesnt wear out too quickly.
At a sheet metal shop I worked at they had 4 compressors working in tandem, all with their own reservoirs, pumping into another larger reservoir. It was all done in black pipe, but the same concept. As the electrician at the shop, I staged them so they wouldn't all turn on and off at the same time, causing a voltage drop in the shop. Your concept is sound and safe, as long as your hose is rated for the PSI of the maximum set-point of your pressure switch and PRV (Pressure Relief Valve). If both those fail.... Good luck.
Reverse threading is often found in automotive applications, because of the rotation of the axle. Viewed from one side, screwing a thread in the usual direction works just fine, but on the other side it's a mirror image, and if you used the standard conventions, the damn thing would unscrew itself as the vehicle rolls down the road. It was amusing to listen to you explaining how you cross-connected the air compressors, while the chickens complained in the background.
Its aheim jointed adjustable linkage arm. You loosen the clamping bolts on both ends on an installed linkage arm then spin the barrel to adjust it's length before locking it down again.

I swear the funniest thing about watching Micheal is realizing that if we ever got invaded by 40K orks , they'd likely spare us and everything we know if he agreed to go make them Choppa's and hacka's and smasha's
HE'S AT 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS? I've been subbed to him before he had 40,000 subscribers and i love that he's gotten recognition he has. I love watching these and I remember just staying up all night watching an hour and 40 minute video of him building a final fantasy sword
Micheal remember to pack an equal amount of knives and spoons! You don't want to run out of options in a game of knifey-spoony! -They'll take all your dollarie-doos!
At my mechanic shop, I have a 5ft tall tank and another tank with the compressor on it. With that, we've doubled our available air volume and kept the same pressure. This allows us to run multiple pneumatic tools at once for a time without the pump starting up again. :)
Me: Gets random video on suggest list "Spledgehammer you say?" Also Me afterwatching: "This is dude is awesome, literally just found my favorite my RUclipsr/weapon Smith.''
I have done that compressor trick for years, and I even added an extra expansion tank in with a 10 gallon portable tank. Also, if you have compressors that are rated to different ratings, you can still do it, you just have to put a regulator in the system between them set for the pressure of the lower rating. In my case both my compressors are 150psi, but my expansion tank is 125, so I have a regulator going into the tank. Been running it that way for about 4 years with no issues.
Welding tip, if you put a tac on one side as the tac cools it will pull the metal to that side, which means you may not have needed to use a wedge. Also if you pick up some tig rod you can use that for spacing and it can be welded over without issue.
I could absolutely use something like that as The Ultimate Turbo Log Splitter. It's going on my project list. But I'll need the one half of it to be plain flat sledge hammer. Love it! Micro.... nuttin micro about this brother.
Ganging compressors is fairly common. I have done exactly this around 15 years ago for sandblasting a bunch of truck parts and was having a slow time with just 1 compressor, so I manifolded a second one of the same size and put it on a separate circuit.
If i had the knowledge i have now as a child, when grownups ask me what i want to be when i grow up.... I would show them this video. and smiled... wide :DDDD

Hey Mike, to make your life a little easier, you can put a little quarter turn valve on your jumper hose there, so you're not blasting your pressure out the other end while plugging it in. I also see zero reason that it might be a bad call, since you're essentially just using two tanks.
Did he just craft a torch using a stick/wax and fire whilst explaining his sponsored game? I felt like i learned something at least unlike other channels.
First-time viewer here. I like how around the 20-minute mark, you're testing the hammer on that pile of lumber and the chickens in the background just don't give a damn. Like, "Oh yeah, the big one. Nah, he does that all the time. No big deal."

Great spike hammer. I really miss the old builds that were part 1 of 1, I know you mentioned that it's good for more views to split the build into multiple parts, just miss watching a single video where the end result was the complete weapon
It is completely fine, normally you would just hook the tanks together when they are empty. We do this all the time to float wagons on stage with pneumatic when one tank isn't enough capacity. OSHA inspectors haven't told us not to so I figure it is probably fine.
"If you die, get one of your family members to write in.."
You sir got a subscriber for that hilarious line :D
"I haven't been able to think of a reason why this would get me killed..." line of the year
it's true tho, doing that can't kill you, provided you haven't messed with the pressure switches of the compressors and the connections are strong.
