i have one i don't know if i would i would recommend because its a lot of money just buy your power washer and compressor from home depot. I would get plans from snowathome.com and just build it don't buy theirs its not necessary.

i made a t gun a long time ago and rarely ever used it. it only cost like 30 bucks to make but i didnt use a pressure washer. just a hose and an air compressor. if you want to do it right you need a pressure washer. i dont think its worth it because you use a shit load of water and racks up the bill

take a leafblower and a bucket of water, and por the water over the air coming out of the leafblower slowly, and you will learn its the same thing

I made one a few years back, it worked so so. it is hard because you have 90 PSI of air coming out and most houses dont have water pressure to compete with that pressure so you might have to use a pressure washer to get a boost. Also make sure the design you choose the air comes in from behind the water, if you use a y coupling it gets all fucked up. Also you have to use a oil lubricated compressor or you will wreck your shit or in most cases you will wreck your dads shit. But if you really want to make snow get a job as a snowmaker, hand down the most fun job you could ever have.
