Looks good Steve, I've seen several DIY solid rockers and that is bar far
the cleanest looking! When my rockers rot out again (and they will) or start
getting beat up, I will be doing the same. I have a few projects planned
ahead of that however.

Re: PING - Snow
By the air supply (not the band) are you pumping air in to the rockers and
using them as a pressurized reservoir??

Re: PING - Snow
Hi Steve,
The air supply is actually my Sanden 508 air conditioning compressor. I
tore out all the AC components I could get at (system was screwed anyway
and I don't really need AC much where I live) and connected the
compressor to a pressure switch, filter, oil separator, relief valve,
check valve, air chuck, regulator, locker switch, etc. The whole system
is connected to the two tanks. They're not as much a reservoir as they
are a cushion to keep the compressor from running continuously when
inflating tires or running air tools.

Re: PING - Snow
Yes. Everything past the check valve, including tanks, is air tight and
holds 110 psi indefinitely. Okay, you could call it a reservoir, but it
doesn't hold enough to reinflate a tire without cycling the compressor.
