If you have an old Compressor sitting in the workshop, especially one that has been around for years quietly doing its job, it is worth asking a slightly uncomfortable question: what does the inside of the tank actually look like?
And is it still safe to use?
My workshop doesn’t have any built in lighting, and working by lamp light was really hard work due to all the shadows created by the lamps.
I couldn’t find any information about whether you could use LED strip lights to effectively light a workshop, so I made a video all about it.

Part 2 of a 4 part series where I show you how to make your very own CS:GO C4 Prop…
In this series I will walk you through how to 3D print a CS:GO C4 game prop, including download links for all the 3D files as well as the full source code for the Arduino software that makes it work.
In this episode we look at the 3D model for the prop in Fusion 360, talk about the hardware, how to 3D print it and how to put it all together.
