Thank you all for responses to my air compressor questions of the past few weeks. Now it's time to build a parts list and put it all together as I wait for my qt54.

(Interestingly, I didn't know there was a newer version til after I ordered through Lowes. I'm assuming mine will be the older version given the Lowes description indicates 21 amps vs the newer 24 amps.)

My ac will be in a small cabinet attached to back of the building which will have cool air piped in from the small room (11x5') at rear of building which has a window ac unit.

I want to use a flexible air line back into the small room where I plan to use the partition wall between the larger (11x14') and smaller room for a couple vertical runs of iron or copper with water release valves at bottom of runs. The pipe will then go up and over the partition wall to the larger room where I'll plan a small blast cabinet run on one side of the room and another run for tools on the other. ***I'd also like to use the second run to eventually blast out of doors.

If you feel so inclined, please respond with a list of items that you'd put in place from ac to actual tools. I could form a list. But then I'd be asking about variations (high flow?, 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2", etc.) and what's diff between these filters, where do you guys buy from- TPTools, Amazon, Ebay, etc. I don't know what I don't know. :confused:

I really appreciate what I've learned here on GJ. And while I'm weary of my build project this year, I'm excited since I know I'm close to having my workspace escape place nearly finished :beer:

Thank you.
John

Don't ask.
I'd put regulators at each drop. And a basket or shelf to keep oil or accessories. I also have a couple self winding hoses from HF that have held up fine. I keep a 100' hose hanging near the door for when I need to reach down the driveway.
