Hmmm, interesting idea. I'll be watching this thread for responses....

I think this is great advice. I also went with a dedicated 200A panel. While I don't currently use all the power that's available to me, I don't think I will ever need more.

You should be able to locate a dealer near you and get everything you need thru them.

I used 3/4 Rapid Air in my 40 X 60 shop. It works great and is very easy to install.

Not a bad idea. I use my air hammer to drive out and drive in, depending on clearance.

I have a full bathroom in my shop. I takes up very little space and when you gotta go, it's really nice. I hardly use it now, but my time is coming. My dad, who is approaching 70, does not have a shop bathroom. For 30 years he's been talking about putting one in. I don't think it'll happen...

My dad and I used to rig all of our equipment. It was always nerve racking, but we managed to be successful. Today, I hire a crane service. I just watch, and if they drop the equipment, they deal w insurance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No question, add insulation as others have said.

I bought a Quincy 5HP 80 gallon QT5. It was $2K. It is a great compressor for my application (home shop).

Just throwing this out, would the height of the motor make any difference? Meaning that if you had both the pump shaft and motor shaft in the same plane. That would make the angle of the belt equal as it rolls on and off both sheaves.

Not too much to add, but I'll confirm with others that have posted that these heaters work good, but they are just too loud and create too much moisture for me. Vented propane heat is the cat's meow IMHO.

I have a Quincy 5HP 80 gallon 2 stage. Its really a great compressor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Suburban propane kept screwing with our pricing for years. Switched to Ferrell Gas and couldn't be happier.

Nice work OP. I might steal a few ideas from you. Thanks.

Like others have said, Lagun is a great quality machine. We still have three in our shop. The one you have pictured probably needs to be scrapped or maybe parted out. $1500 is too much.

I bought the big brother (14K) to the lift you are looking at. So far I'm very happy with it.

Snap-On mid length chrome box end wrenches. They are just the right length and feel so nice in my hands. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hardened tool steel close to 60RC is tough to cut. You could torch anneal the edge of the hole, and use a tapered bridge reamer to open the hole up... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FCNS3Y4/?tag=atomicindus08-20
