Thanks gentlemen for your kind comments and continued support during this build.  :praise2:  I am just trying to emulate the masters on the forum.

Hopefully tomorrow I will get the video done.  I did not do it today because, as a professional would say, I lost the light. :)

Thanks again guys.

As promised, here is the video.

[youtube1]https://youtu.be/Kcvwx0ARmMA[/youtube1]

It is running with about 20 psi which a bit more than the previous runs and for some reason that annoying knocking sound which I had in the previous video has lessened.

Vince, a super job.

Hoping that i have the workshop ready in a couple off months an can build again.
By looking what members are doing these days my fingers are itching to go in the shop.
Did you find the source off the knocking?

Vince,

I've been following this and it's great to see it completed. It looks great and it runs well. In this latest version in the new video I have to say "What Knocking?" It sounds great.

I especially liked your build because you kept coming back to it during a period where you had a lot of interruptions. You are inspiring me as I have very little time for the shop lately but try to keep at it when I can in hopes that more work will eventually get done.

I look forward to whatever you do next.

Awesome Vince! Something to be very proud of...and to show off every chance you get.

I apologize for not having kept up as much as I should have.

Now you got me thinking about the one I mothballed some time ago. It's hard to believe it's been two years!!!
But now I have another excellent reference thread.  ;D

Again...Nice Job!!!  :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:
