It looks similar to a 120 gallon tank.

I put 1" pex in my shop over a year ago and I don't have a leak or a regret. I ran the pex in the walls and pitched it back to the compressor. Best of luck! Ryan

Nice Ferraris!

Began building last year when I was 32. The shop is 32x44, 2 stories with 2400ft^2. I just finished insulating and drywalling over the summer. Now it's time to work in it, not on it.

Has anyone seen a coupon for the 50' air hose reel? I seem to remember seeing one for $59.99. Thanks

I applied EpoxyCoat last year over concrete with fiber like you're describing. Christine is right, I used this (http://www.harborfreight.com/propane-torch-91033.html) hooked to a 20lb cylinder of propane. I went over the floor multiple times and it worked like a charm.

I've restored a few of these badges for some toolboxes that are awaiting restoration. The first step is to clean/strip the old paint and oxidation from the badge. Next I use gloss black lacquer and paint the entire badge and allow to dry. Then I use a foam nail file and gently sand the raised...
