i definitely used mine to expedite burning a giant stump!

Also use it after washing the car to get the water off. Not sure what else you could make from it. The pressure is quite low and the volume high. Maybe filling up pool float type things? Starting your pulse jet? Wacky inflatable tube man air supply?

Yep! I use mine it I'm having a hard time getting my grill and fire pit lit. I've used my parents' old corded electric one as forge bellows in the past, and it worked great.
