    How to find old topics

    I just rejoined today. I have email from this group going back to 2012. In the past I have seen articles on how to build Air Dries to remove water from Air Compressors. Can someone tell me a quick way to search old threads about this topic?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jim Ouimet

    If the site search, or the forum search, or the advanced forum search aren't doing it for you, here's a trick that usually works for me. Use Google search, but restrict your results to a single website. Type the bold text into Google below to give it a try:

    site:homemadetools.net dryer

    Let me know if that does it.

    There are many ways to tailor Google searches. See here...

    https://support.google.com/websearch.../2466433?hl=en

    For instance, here's a quote from that source...

    Exclude words from your search:
    Enter - in front of a word that you want to leave out.
    For example, [jaguar speed -car].
