Burgie, Love the post and your compressor looks sweet. Good work. I may be dropping you a line shortly because I'm in the middle of "yet another" compressor rebuild. The only difference this time is that there is a magnetic starter involved, and I am in very new and unfamiliar territory...

I finally got the motor and pump placed on top last night. Since it is not the exact same combo that came off of the tank it (of course) did not exactly fit. Doesn't mean that I couldn't bolt them down, but the pully's didn't line up correctly. So, after trying two seperate pre-drilled bolt...

The fact remains he did not ask if this was a wise investment, nor did he ask for anyone's opinion on how to save or invest his money. He likes the thing, and home brew things like it, and that's enough. Bingo. I have no use for something like this. But I'd give $50 for it in a N.Y...

Did you get that lathe? How is it working out?

This is the closest picture that I have of the tank tag.

I haven't scrapped it yet. Everything that I read on-line said to NOT weld the tank. So, I'm either going to 1) hold on to the red tank for years until it becomes an eyesore 2) Hold on to it for years until I make a BBQ grill out of it 3) Take it to the scrap yard and get $10 out of it. Here...

And this is the new one. My friend needed the 5 HP motor from the new compressor for an application that he is currently working on. He kept the pump too. I got the tank and a magnetic starter. Hope you enjoy the pics because I'm still in the process of making it look "pretty".:rocker: I...

I got this compressor for a deal from a friend ($200), but it needed much of the plumbing, wiring, guages, etc...to make it function. I had a tank, pump, and a motor. Took it all apart; tank down to base coat and ordered the regulator and switch, guages and enough wiring and plumbing to make it...

:bowdown::drool:Scott, 1st----COOL. 2nd----WOW. 3rd-----WOW HOW COOL. Love the vises, but more than that I love the wide and varied assortment of tools. Is envy a good or bad thing?

You are right SSCR, the 2nd floor is a mess. But it's your mess in your new garage. SWEET! Love the build, and it looks like you guys will get a bunch of use out of it. I really like the rope lighting. Is that staying? What about direct lighting? Maybe I just wasn't looking close enough...

I LOVE proper planning. That whole "ounce of prevention........" thing can't be stressed enough. Super build. Subscribing........absolutely. Please keep the pictures and commentary coming.

Brilliant idea about the fold up workbench. Brilliant!!! and Motociclista has done a great job with what he had to work with. Well thought out considering the funds and space.

Hey, you took my question.

I would love to have some of the large chunks of granite for border around my landscape. Do you think it would be too much trouble to ship it to me? Gratis?

WOW!!!!!! Love it.
