    New compressor, any tips for getting it of pallet?

    Garage Door Bottom Weatherseal

    I had an existing garage where the concrete under the garage door was not level. To compensate for the concrete I cut an old garden hose to length and slid it inside the garage door seal to 'stiffen' up the seal. Worked out great, ended up with the door sealing up fine.

    Anyone know about old Mercedes tools

    I picked up a set in a tool buy a few years back... Ended up giving them away to a GJ guy who had an old MB. I do remember him saying that the wooden handle for the screwdriver was had to come by. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56274

    Moving an Air Compressor

    I used a piano mover that I rented from the tool rental joint down the street. I was able to move it by myself from my shop around to the attached lean to where I installed it. Only needed a couple sheets of OSB / plywood to roll it on. Here are some pics from my after cooler thread, scroll...

    Will 3/4'' MDF be durable enough (vs. 3/4 plywood?)

    I've done built-ins out of MDF. It is very easy to work, shape and paints way better then plywood, but it is not recommended to breathe the dust from cutting sanding etc, at least use a dust mask. Be sure to glue and screw the joints, predrilling all holes and use a counter sink for the screw...

    Ordered a Miller 211 w/ spoolgun for christmas

    I have that exact setup and love it. Go ahead and get yourself another spool of wire, not much on the one that ships with the unit. You will also need two bottles, one argon and one 75/25. You will enjoy this machine for sure.

    Compressor

    May want to consider cooling the charge first before you hit the water sep filter. If the charge is cooled first you will drop alot of the water into the water sep. You do not want to put your dessicant dryer that close to the compressor, you will be drying the dessicant out way to often...

    reduce compressor vibration?

    I mounted mine on hockey pucks, they are cheap and they work great for reducing vibration. Just drill a pass through hole in center of puck to match your anchor bolts and you should be set. You should not have any problem finding hockey pucks in Canada :thumbup:

    New Quincy Aircompressor in my barn - mounting pad question

    I have mine on hockey pucks ($1.20ea) Although you will have to drill holes, this solution works well. Holes are easy to fill if you decide to move the unit. Also, you may want to consider building a lean to type shed off the back of your shop to get the compressor out of the work area, you...
