CurlyGeorge Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Now that's inginuity!! Gotta say that I have seen a blower made from wood, but never one made from paint cans. Good job. As long as it gets the job done, that's what counts. :D Quote
MattBower Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Most homemade blowers I've seen, including the one I made when I first started smithing, have been crude and not very effective. Yours, however, is pretty slick. Nice work. Quote
macbruce Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 This is the kind of inginuity that can't be taught but it can be learned. Most would come here and ask ''how do I do this?'' Your little feat of ad hoc engineering is huge! Quote
