My wife had a 2.5 CFM very portable compressor, several nail guns and a battery powered compound, sliding miter saw when I met her. She was a finish/cabinet carpenter.

Now she's doing resin/silicone casting which requires a vacuum pot (and pump which is the same as one for AC work) and a pressure pot.

Gotta love a mechanically inclined (even semi-) woman!

You still running the magnum ac compressor?

Yes---had to cut one of the back bolt housing's off the compressor(interference with radiator hose)--also had to bend one of the aluminum Freon lines approximately 180 degrees to make it work with the 73 system(used a map gas burner to heat it, stayed as far away from the rubber hose ends as possible and made the bend as slowly as possible(also wrapped the rubber crimp ends with a wet towel to dissipate any heat from the aluminum tube)----works great

Thanks! There’s currently a thread going here in the magnum section about running the magnum compressor with the crosswind intake. If you could post some pics in there that’d be great!
