General consensus of family members who have been around when I've done some testing at different stages of the build has been "what the hell have you got running in the shed and hope you're wearing ear protection".

On air 20 psi starts to really get going, 40 psi starts to REALLY get going and making a sound like a 747 jumbo gunning the jets, 60 psi is pretty ear piercing (and scary speeds) and sound like a military fighter jet :)

😂😂

Haha, hope you’ve built it well if running it at 60 psi  :D

Gave dad a fidget spinner for Christmas as a joke last year. We took it down to the basement and shot some air through it... well, it started smoking, then pieces went flying everywhere  :D
