My New Shop!! Yiippeee!

Marland,

I use the big (80 Gallon) vertical compressor from Lowe's. Has been great. I installed a station to dry air and add oil for tools off the outlet of the compressor. Put in a "T" fitting with hand valves first, and one leg is used for blow down air (keeps you from using oil while cleaning parts or sweeping the floor with air). Other leg feeds the air/oil station, then the outlet from the air station goes to the two pull down air kits hung from bottom of rafters (my shop does not have a sheetrock ceiling. Debated about adding water also, but use it so seldom, that it was not worth the hassle.

If you are a retired veteran, or know a retired vet or current military person, Lowe's and Home Depot gives 10% off when they show their ID Card. Would save you $60 or $75.

Bought the pull down air and electrical stuff from Norhern Tool. Their quality looked better than Harbor Freight's.
