Ideas for a Broken Pancake Air Compressor

Featured Replies

I found this in the dumpster today. Normally I would scrap this kind of stuff, but before I did I wanted to see if it would be work keeping for something else.

IFI member TwistedWillow makes rivet forges out of them.

Twisted Willow (Billy) makes nice little coal forges from dead pancake compressor tanks.

Look who's typing at the same time I am!

You all beat me to it!

Here’s a few I got settin around, one finished and a couple started on, Ive made a few here an there for other people too

there actually kinda handy for a portable kit cause they are so light, they are really durable easy to make, an customize, 

you can make em to where to legs are solid welded or to where they are detachable,

That's a great idea! We'll see if I get around to it, but thank you for getting my thoughts going!

I also thought about using it as a dishing block? I'm not sure how well it would hold up though.

do you clay those

Chad J.

sorry just now saw your question,

yes I clay them with local red dirt out of the bar ditch

that bein said they are steel and you really don’t have to unless you want too,

I believe the pans should hold up quite awhile,

they are just as thick as those pressed steel pans that Buffalo an champion used to use for some of their rivet forges and table forges,
