    Air connector question

    Beginning to pipe my 40x50 shop for air. Using copper, 3/4 with 1/2 drops. I decided to use I/M 3/8 x 1/4 npt connectors. The "hole" is even bigger than the Milton V and I had them on hand. The question is what size copper fitting should I use at the end of the drops? I could use 1/2 x 3/8...

    Speakers for a large garage space?

    So I finished my speaker project pretty much. I still need to make a shelf for the receiver and speaker switch and hide the wires. Below is the speaker switch. THE SOUND IS AWESOME! 2 pairs of Klipsch Heresy and a pair of Polk Monitor 5s in the middle. I was worried the speaker switch would...

    I'm in the middle of the same project. Putting speakers in my 40x50 shop. I mounted 2 pairs of Klipsch Heresy, one in each corner and a set of Polk Monitor 5s in the middle of the long walls. Just got done running the wire this weekend. Ran 400+ ft of 12 Guage (overkill). Had to rent a...

    Copper Air Piping & corrosion

    so using copper straps to mount the pipe to a red iron h-beam will not cause corrosion? Most of my piping will be strapped to plywood but I want to mount some on the underside of a ceiling beam.

    Copper Air Piping & corrosion

    Question for the hive: Do I need to insulate the mounts/hangers for my copper air piping from the the red iron & metal building purlins? The air piping will be connected to the compressor via a rubber hose if that helps. Thanks!

    Another Shop air piping question....

    So, I'm going to do copper for my 40x50 shop. Most of the drops will be on one 50ft side with one reel on the other 50 ft side. I have a 5hp, 60 gal CH compressor. ~10cfm @90psi For the big pipe, is 3/4 good enough or do i need 1 inch? For drops, I was thinking 1/2 pipe with high flow chuck and...

    Started interior walls

    Mine was b/c for $32/sheet. I have 25 outlets in my 40x50 shop so I'm cutting lots of holes. I am basically copying the Chet Wilkins youtube video minus the top shelf. Gonna paint with a roller.

    Started interior walls

    aalleexx, what color did you paint? Oil or latex? Spray or roll? I let mine run long so I could hide Comm wiring and Air piping behind it. I also noticed my girts had some variation so I figured it would save some labor letting it stay 8 foot.

    Started interior walls

    Been analyzing the interior wall thing to death. I finally decided to go with 3/4 T&G plywood. Chose to Tapcon the base angle rather than drive anchors. I'm doing it by myself so it's going slow.

    More socket organizers

    So I read and read and read about socket organization. I got totally wrapped around the axle on this. At the end of the day, I wanted to be able to put a set of sockets (3/8 or 1/4 in drive) in my rolling cart so that meant some type of rail or magnetic holders. I finally decided on Hansens for...

    Work Table Question

    Thanks. I'm not sure that glue would pull the bow out. I designed it to have a 1.5 inch overhang so I can clamp stuff to the table for welding.
