I really, really enjoy these videos. Your lengthy explanations and demonstrations take me back to a time when people took great pride in their creations, and had great skill making them. Thank you!
Pressure regulation might be improved by having a spring just barely strong enough on the relief valve (flexing that spring adds extra pressure to the bellows). Love the holding a magnifying glass in front for detailed shots!
I agree, pressure could be regulated a little smoother with a screw adjustable spring relief type setup, without the catch against the case. It would also be less affected by changes to motor speed, not sure if it is supposed to be or not in one of these. excellent craftsmanship.
Wow, I am really lovin your videos. 5 inches of water is almost a fifth of a pound per square inch (0.18 or so), 11 inches is really close to half a pound per square inch (0.398). That is pretty great with leather and wood. I can't wait for the next one...
Ok, dumb question: how much air do you need to operate the organ you plan to build? Is it possible to run one off a 2-5hp belt driven single or dual stage air compressor...obviously in a different room? I'd like to build a bottle organ.
Nicholas Smerk Probably would be more along the line of a roots-blower (screw or lobe compressor - Google it) or a CPAP machine. I think a CPAP would be a good air supply as they are designed to deliver more of a constant pressure rather than a given volume.

I agree also, put the pressure regulator on the outlet using an adjustable spring. You don't need the catch.
I really like this series. So many pieces of knowledge have to fall in for it to operate at optimal levels. Can't wait for the next part.

I'm not familiar with CPAC, I'll have to look that up.
