Just a little update, I also had a bucket issue with mine and did the same thing as above. I just modified the lid that came on the solvent bucket. Should be able to swap buckets in the future and keep the lid. Also, I put it up on a modified pallet and lagged it down so it can be moved...

Sorry, just saw the questions and comments. Thanks a lot for the positive feedback! Here is an Amazon link to the pump. It seems to be great so far!https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WQYGQG/?tag=atomicindus08-20

This started out as a $20 Craigslist parts washer. It happens to be a Performance Tool brand but I think its just like the Harbor Freight and all the rest. I don't think it had seen much use but had been sitting around all apart for quite a few years. I wanted to use regular Stoddard solvent...

Like some others have stated, I used Stanley in various designs my entire life until recently picking up a Milwaukee. I LOVE it! Not planning to go back any time soon.

I did use a 240v hour meter, although it never occurred to me to fuse it. As cheap as the meter was it just never hit the radar. As far as the valve at the tank...I thought of it, then just forgot when I put it all together. The first time the compressor comes out for some sort of service...

Thanks. I've been trying to do everything in the shop as clean as I possibly can. At the expense of a BUNCH of extra time. My goal for the shop is to not only have a very functional, multipurpose shop, but to also have a place that looks and feels clean and interesting inside.

Nice!:beer:

Just for fun I thought I would post some pics of parts of the air system that runs throughout the shop. There is more that isn't pictured like the drops into the paint booth and blast cabinet with regulators, dryers, filters, etc. and the other hose reels but this gives everyone an idea of how...

Thanks, I appreciate the help. This is just one part of my overall air system. I have an after cooler on the compressor, a copper condenser, a primary cyclonic/ coalescing filter, and this desiccant dryer is also a cyclonic filter. Here is a pic of the condenser and primary filter in the...

Roger! I'll keep an eye on it but as I said, it really doesn't serve a purpose except to keep track for fun.

I finally got around to plumbing the air into the paint booth and getting the dryer/filter/regulator put together. I added an air fitting prior to the dryer so I could run tools and such without using up my desiccant beads. The orange board is simply a way to span the studs and still mount the...

How do you mean? So far it has logged about 18hrs of compressor run time. Seems to be accurate, or at least close enough to get a general idea rather than just guessing.:thumbup:

Compressor has been running well for a while now. I still haven't gotten around to finishing the door or installing fans. I completed this condenser setup some time ago but just haven't posted it yet. I also have drains at all my drop locations but I have yet to get any water out of them. In...

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks RJ. The plan I had was to install a door due to the need for sound deadening. Because of this I was going to install a pair of fans near the top of the enclosure and some intakes near the bottom and baffle both to keep the sound down. I was already planning to combine it with a...
