Here's a few more. Very similar other than the man door placement.

Some. Here's a pic of the rear center wall after I framed it.

Oh, I didn't answer your question about 2x6's on each side of every post. No, my posts were 6x6. Are yours 4x4? If so, then you'd probably have to nail a 6x6 to at least one side of each post. Or go with 2x4 studs.

Yes. I framed it up 1 stick at a time by myself. Start by screwing a pressure treated 2x6 to the concrete all the way around the shop with tap cons. Caulk those to the floor to prevent a draft. On the side walls with beam on top, you slide the 2x6 stud right up in between the beams and nail...

I have almost the same size/construction building. Mines 26x36. I framed in the walls with 2x6's on 2' centers. I used unfaced, 2' wide, R19 batts. All of the walls and ceiling were wrapped with vapor barrier, with all of the seams and edges taped. I had drywall installed for the walls, 5/8...

I countersunk my bolts the same way using a spade bit. The best part is the smell of burning rubber while drilling them.

Anyone use Boeshield? http://www.boeshield.com/ I bought some to use on misc. plated fasteners on a car I'm restoring, but haven't used it yet, or finished the car.

I've got one. It's Craftsman branded, but exactly the same. It works well. Kind of cheaply made. It's almost entirely plastic. The main air inlet/swivel started leaking after a couple years of light use. I ordered a replacement swivel from Legacy and it's working fine again. I expect in a...

r6100mph, I do not know what the duty cycle is, I don't remember seeing it in any specs I've seen. I would assume it is not 100% as that seems to be the realm of the high dollar compressors. I've had it since this thread started about a year ago. I probably use the bead blast cabinet every...

I'm happy with my 5hp 60gal. It's a little noisier than I'd like, but not deafening. I was just using it today with my blast cabinet. I can blast all day if I'd like, but the compressor will never shut off. Blasting at 80 or 90 psi, the compressor never falls behind. I blasted for about...

I framed in the walls with 2x6's on 24" centers with R19 unfaced fiberglass batts. The 2x6's are flush with the 6x6 posts, so drywalling was easy. Vapor barrier between the fiberglass and drywall, all seams taped. Menards had good pricing on the 24" R19 batts from Johns Manville. It really...

No sweating here. Mine's heated to 50F year round. The ceiling fans run on low 24/7 to keep the air moving. R38 blown in over the ceiling. Vapor barrier between the ceiling steel and insulation.

The motor is rated at 22A @ 3450rpm. I rough measured the pulleys and it looks like 3:1. That spins the pump at 1150rpm. On the side of the tank is a sticker stating 1400rpm max.

Yep, real 5HP, 22amps, A.O.Smith motor. I've had one for awhile now. Fine compressor. Not a Quincy or IR, but, alot of compressor for the money.

I was in there Sunday also. Nothing compelling at 10%. How many of us are in Delaware, Ohio? Sheesh.

I've got one, got it for around 600 also. I'm pretty happy with it. It keeps up with my blast cabinet, but doesn't stop running until I stop blasting. Not very quiet. I'd buy it again vs. the cost alternatives.

The HF motor is 22amps running. I believe that's a true 5HP.

I've got the Harbor Freight unit you show. I would pick it. Two stage, higher pressure in the tank and lines, will make up for the smaller tank size. I bought mine for $600. It was on sale for $799, then I had a 25% off coupon. Look for a coupon, 20% off is pretty common.

I have a pair of Dayton 1/2" filter/regulators that I'm using. They're working fine. I run full compressor pressure to them, 165psi, and keep them set at 90psi out. I bought them through Grainger. Had to buy the pressure gauge separately, also from Grainger. Like most things, I think there...

I recently picked up this compressor from Harbor Freight for $600. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93274 5 HP, 60 Gallon, 165 PSI Two Stage Air Compressor Air delivery: 13.5 CFM @ 165 PSI, 15.8 CFM @ 90 PSI, 16.4 CFM @ 40 PSI Cast-iron cylinders and stainless...
