Yeah, not sure how it would perform in just a dedicated shed with no insulation. Mine is in a auxiliary shed that I do other type of work in so it is insulated and marginally climate controlled, as in it doesn't freeze in there. If you did you could change out the oil for a cold weather...

I have the earlier version of that hose reel. Had it for going on 8 years now (original rubber hose too). Love it, best "add on" accessory I have installed for my air system. My compressor, which appears to be the same as yours, lives in a shed outside away from this space. Full review and...

After posting this and making the video I am kicking myself for not putting a probe in the oil. It would have been easy enough to do, but I guess my thought at the time was heat transfer to the cylinder should be a good measure. If significant change higher or lower, then a debate could be had...

I am no expert, but ATF is rated more like a gear oil I thought. However I wouldn't think there would be any harm in using it. Its design characteristics seem like it would be a worthy choice, (anti-foam, high heat tolerance, extreme pressure, corrosion resistance). I use synthetic ATF oil in...

This compressor (the one in the video) is a 3.7hp 230v, but yeah I have experienced the same thing with my small portable 2hp (120v) compressor too.

Well the head temp I didn't expect a change obviously, but the cylinder is where I "wanted" to see change as that is where some (most?) of the friction would be.

I recently upgraded my air compressor and after break in I wanted to change my oil out for a full synthetic, but do they really make a difference? I decided to do some rudimentary testing on my own. I made a 5 minute video about it, see it here. I choose Royal Purple's Recip 100, it had the...

Decided to make a quick video tour of my garage. Showing off some of the updates and things I have added or changed over the years. It had been a while since I shared this. I have some new equipment too that I wanted to show off. Feel free to ask me questions or criticize because I am sure a...

A quick video tour of "The Craft Shed" which is more of a storage space that I can work on small projects in.

I almost made a fake 80's Domino's box for the basement set.

For years, well over 15 years at the time of this posting, I have made various types of content for "the internet" And throughout all this time I have always made this content using what I had laying around and where ever I had space to do it. Over time I decided I wanted to build out some...

Makin' another video.

Did this over several days to create one video. Yeah I know, a little out of the norm for here. And a little WTF, but some people thought it was funny. Watch the completed project here https://www.thejunkmanadv.com/shortfilms.html

Restored a new toy for my son. This was my Dad's, then mine, and now it has new life. Here is a video if you want to see how the sausage was made, the restoration process I mean. More pictures here

Ok, its been a while, but I did a small improvement to increase the functionality to my garage for filming my Youtube videos. I plan to add more to it, but this gives the gist of it.

I have been live streaming a project I am working on in my garage all week. Here is last nights archive

My garage houses "the good car", the other bay is my studio shop for working on my motorcycles and making videos. I have a small shed for crafty, model building, and more wood oriented building as well as material storage for those types of projects. Also an off site equipment shed that half...

I have some ideas in my head building something like this only suspending the rails from the ceiling and have a drop down tube for clamping accessories to. Thus it can slide back and forth maybe right over the bench area or something. I still need to put some more thought into it. I have a...

These are all great suggestions! The dryer sheet thing I had not heard of. I am going to try that. I am no stranger to ADR and audio clean up in post. I am well aware of some of my sound deficiency's. I wish my setup never changed but it does depending on what I am trying to do. A...

A lav mic is something I am looking at investing in. I am trying to think through some type of rigging for my various lighting things I have. I have built some rudimentary softboxes. I am thinking about mounting most of this from the ceiling so it is out of the way. Just wondering if others...
