GeoBruin, thank you. I borrowed a couple of pictures from forum member Imca38 but after looking at them, I realize that the rapid air system comes with valves that you can crack open to drain water but I was thinking of installing them at a lower point like in the pictures?? Here is the...

GeoBruin, thank you for the detailed answer. Truth be told, I left out some key information in my initial ask for help didn't say. I'm going out to the shop today to try and map out what I need my system to do. I do have a small harbor freight blast cabinet for smaller parts that I plan on...

Still looking for advice if anyone has time to walk me thru this. The only thing I know for sure so far is I'll be using the Rapid Air maxline 3/4 garage kit.

Just something that my electric tank drain dumps into instead of venting onto the compressor or the floor.

Thanks to PlaneCrazy's idea of a tank drain, I played around with my version of it today. As usual, I went crazy and overboard on something simple. Found a paint that was very close to my Champion Compressor and changed some of the components based on what I had available and my thoughts on...

Has anyone repurposed a cabinet or a piece of furniture to make a router table? Pics/ideas??

I have a champion 7.5HP Compressor and want to run the rapid air 3/4 garage system in my shop. My use will be mostly air tools and airing up tires, etc. at the 3 drops that come with the rapid air. What are good brands of regulators and air dryers that will work for my use? Most of the...

I am in the process of plumbing my new shop/compressor. Champion 7.5HP. May I ask the brand of drying setup you have and where a fella might acquire something like that? thank you.

Yes sir it is but this winter, we had over a foot of snow. Not the norm here but it's nice to be able to go out and work on stuff when the school is closed due to a 'snow day'...:D

I like Go-Jo as well but that Fast Orange stuff is pretty nice too.

I am in MS. Yes, just something to take the edge off. I need to install brushes on the rollups and maybe something along the edges of the roof. Doing it a little at a time to see what exactly I need to do. Winter is all but gone here so some shop fans and doors up to keep the air moving around.

New compressor.

I've posted on here a couple of times but can't recall a formal intro so here we go. After 30 yrs in the Marines and moving every 3 years, I've finally got my dream shop built to get my 57 and 66 Chevy trucks back on the road. I've got a 40x50 metal building with a garage & wood shop. Just...

Has anyone reversed the slide latch so that the door can be locked/unlocked from the inside of the shop? Is it that simple?

Is this the stuff you mean?
