Title: another spring compressor
Post by: chet on August 26, 2014, 12:07:43 PM
  Been thinking of a spring compressor for a bit, so a few months ago i designed one up and went to work, this is what it looks like and it works pretty slick, fully adj for length and adj for comp tube dia's

Hard drive crash?  I resemble that comment.

I'd love a pdf version of your drawings if you can resurrect the dwg files.  I lost my version of autocad when my XP crashed, and can't justify the expense of a W7 upgrade.

 HI Richard

 Unistrut is a useful item in the shop,   I am working on my 2nd spring compressor, this one will be  using aluminum unistrut, very light.

I like the infinite adjustable-ness! 
I thought of using the bunch of 80/20 that I had laying around but I'm not that inventive :-)
Plus, I don't have a metal band saw here at home. I think I'm stealing some of your design !  ::)

You should make them and sell them. I wanted a B-Square, but alas they do not make them any more.

Hi Booger

  If i get in the mood to make a few over a period of time i may sell one here and there, the one in the pic might go in the yellow after i complete my new aluminum one, if my nephew is not interested, he is getting into air rifles and having fun too.

Smart plan, make a few bucks for a few pellets. :)
