found it...my son had it...

IMHO, more than likely the tank was made by Trageser Copper Works out of NY since they made hot water tanks and would have the certifications to make pressure vessels. They were probably a supplier to how ever put the compressor together. Its a cool little compressor and would make a neat...

I have a welder, but since the plug is cast iron, I am not real sure the welding of a nut will work real well since the impact wrench I used was what broke off the hex part of the plug. Plus, the welder is inside the shop and the compressor is outside where I cannot get the welder close enough...

Thanks for checking in. I will update as I get things done, so be patient. :lol: I mostly do cars, but I have some other interests right now that I will be working on before getting back on my '65 C10 that I have has since I was 16. First up will be a dresser for my wife that belonged to her...

Thanks for the feedback. That is along the lines of one of my thoughts. I just need to get my hands on a saws all.

While setting up my new shop, I plan on mounting the compressor outside under a lean-to that will keep the rain off, but still provide good airflow for cooling. Last time I used the compressor before putting it in storage for my move, I attempted to drain it and it spit some water out before...

I worked on one project Sunday after lunch. My engine hoist is one of those fold up units and I have never been happy about the way the legs fold up and lean making it some what unbalanced when folded up. I have a couple pieces of sheet metal angle with some holes in it that seemed like it...

Finally had a free weekend not committed to something to do with football. By the end of September, I had completely moved out of my storage units and all the stuff was just crammed into my new shop. So Saturday morning, the weather was nice and I got started on get things in order, or at...

I'm interested in building one of these in the future. I will probably do a 4'x4' version. Nice work so far.

We had beautiful weather this weekend for outside work. I got the back yard mowed and started picking up rocks and concrete that was around the shop. Waited on my son's buddy to come over with a trencher. He finally showed up at about 4;30 pm after I was told in would be 9am when they should...

Glad you found your answer Todd. That price is just the building and the slab. I have about $400 in the dirt work before they started and so far about $1000 in the electrical stuff. My budget for this building is $12k. I should meet that, but I am stopping short of finishing out the inside...

The building passed its final inspection, so now I have a certificate of completion. The last couple of evenings, we have been working on getting some lights hung in the shop. I bought 6 - 8' long T8 Fluorescent fixtures. Each one has 4 - 4' bulbs. I got the 6500K color bulbs with 2850 lumens...

Here are a few pictures that Korbin took this past weekend of the finished building: This one has the Patio Cover leading up to the door like it was a driveway, I thought it was a neat shot from up on the roof. Called the city for the Final Inspection. If I get a green tag, then it is...

They were still working when I got home that afternoon. They finished up at about 5:00pm, cleaned up their mess and off they went. I locked up the house and headed to the High School's home opener for the evening. Looks like our dog Brodie got in this picture!

Here is the gapped area after the fix:
