I had an empty fridge keg lying around and I thought, "what the heck, why not recycle?" Tosses golf balls nice and hard at 80psi.

Did this to some 3/8" Particle board I had lying around. Not really that impressive but I just like the novel pressure chamber.

Pretty cool, its basic but at least it works decently well, as lond as you have those parts, why not make a 2 inch piston valve, you can keep the chamber and use the sprinkler valve to pilot it
That is all.
