Vessel 350 Classic Wood series. Stock image: Additional numbers on mine: I have this one single driver, a 6x100mm, and I'd really like to find the full set. This one came out of the bottom of some forgotten box while doing spring cleaning at my shop, no idea where it came from first...

Ok, so it seems I was getting worked up over the thread for nothing. Just haven't experienced NPSM/NPSC before. Turns out, NPT threads right into it. Added a drain on the vertical leg from the compressor, with the rest of the system sloping back to it (helped by my house being built in a...

What's your tolerance? Need to establish that first. In the last week or so I've levelled two things... my motorcycle lift in my garage to within 1/16", and a thing at work to within 2.5 microns. The job is effectively the same, but one was done with a $15 tape measure and the other with a...

So my dog ate my tray. Yes, really. Was rearranging some drawers and my dog got a hold of the tray for my 7pc snap ring pliers set, and now they're just sitting in the drawer. There's ONE on eBay right now and the guy wants $20 for it, plus $10 to ship it. For a flimsy piece of vacuum formed...

Well, **** it. Didn't have much to do today other than swapping brake pads in my mom's car, and that took all of an hour, so I made a run to Tractor Supply and the big orange shitshow. 3/4" hydraulic jumper to 3/4" galvanized. Put a couple T's with plugs in there so I can add more legs later...

Thanks for the info guys, I think I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do now. I took another look at the outlet on the compressor tank, and it didn't look right. So I measured. Turns out it's 3/4x14 NPSM (or maybe NPSC)... minor diameter of the thread measures .930" with 14 TPI. WTF...

So I WILL need a regulator then? If so I think I'll put it on the hose reel, with a jumper hose from tank to the reg inlet. Nice and simple.

Getting there... Need to come up with an excuse to ditch my fractional stuff for good. Never use any of it. Then I can get the 3 row trays to make up for the space. Just a homegamer these days though, need to come up with creative ways to justify Snappy purchase to the wife.

Hey guys. I finally got power ran in my garage, so now I need to set up all the equipment I've been procrastinating on. Trying to get the compressor up and going and it seems there's so many different ways and options that I'm not really sure what I should be doing. What I'm working with: The...

$4,000 wrench set, anyone? https://www.ebay.com/itm/McLaren-F1-Titanium-Spanners-Set/162737476604?hash=item25e3e8d3fc:g:onMAAOSwP8BZqyNs

Good enough price that I bought one of each even though don't need any. https://www.wihatools.com/3k-anti-camout-slotted-screwdrivers

Hey guys, wanted to give some follow-on info on this for the random Google searcher that'll read this in 4 months. Turns out, we're both right.... The SO website does, as I said, list the red touch up can under REP12A, and does state that the product is no longer available. HOWEVER, if you...

The website does show it (link), it just says it's no longer available. I'll check out that Sunrise Red, thanks!

Wow, more responses than I would have expected. Here it is after a good cleaning. Went over it all with engine degreaser, hit the paint afterwards with some Honda polish I use on my bikes, and cleaned up the stainless (well... bribed the kid to do it anyway) Now I need to make a jumper...

Near Denver, ish. I see you're in Apex, quite nice out there. I lived about 45 min south of you for a while, I've thought about moving back more than a few times.
