Something that followed me home from an auction!

Now that winter is coming, I'd better start moving stuff that I plan on hauling into the workshop before it's all buried in a drift. Take a look at the compressor I bought for my power mill to run. It ran a water-pressure tank at an old lodge in N. Wisconsin and it still's got terrific compression! Mine's the one with the wooden "pulley-enlarger" (The Google workshop photo is just to show what can be done with it)

Well, I'm hoping to be filling balloons with my wind-powered compressor by the end of summer! Check out this video and conversation from "Smokstak":

That is neat.
I saw the attached today after previously reading this post this morning and this old ad made me think of this post.
