Wow you were really tired of waiting for that compressor werent you? lol

[Ryan Gee]

When it is just me in the garage it wasn't to bad. However get a pack of fellas in there and they are all waiting on something. Not no mo!!!!

[Alpine Spirit]

Ok after you are through cutting up all your spare metal stay away FROM THE HOUSE!!!! That thing is gonna cut forever now.

[Ryan Gee]

There is a line of rigs waiting to be cut up! :torch:

[Ditchfinder]

now im hut that compressor is bigger than my snap-on tird I will cal you soon been a little busy trying to scrounge you up some cash later.

[DamnHippie]

Kewl, that looks a lot like my compressor, only more orange. Go to Grainger and get some of the mini-waffle vibration pads to set it on, makes a big noise difference. This is the kind I got (need 2 packages): http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/itemDetailsRender.shtml?ItemId=1611769362

Also, if it's anything like mine, it has a flow rate around 10-12 cfm, but came with a tiny plastic filter that's only rated for about 5 cfm. Grainger has a good 12 cfm filter/silencer that reduces noise pretty nicely: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/itemDetailsRender.shtml?ItemId=1613546371

Got the lines run. Ran some black pipe back and forth down the wall 10 feet in order to help collect the moisture. There is also a filter/water trap before the outlet. While I was at it a couple more 220V plugs were added for the welder and plasma (no more musical plugs).

Ian it came with some rubber footys... I will have to check out your setup sometime! The intake on this is a big square hole.

A big square hole? No threads or anything? That sounds a bit odd, in a place where you're using grinders and stuff an intake filter seems like a must.

[Ryan Gee]

Here you can see it on the head. It has some muffling/filter material in it. I need to take that cover off to see what is underneath.

[Alpine Spirit]

The whole setup looks awesome!!

[NissanNut]

Nice. I just use PVC 3/4 for around the garage. sch40.

[Ryan Gee]

I guess the metal makes it condense. The plasma requires clean dry air. I bet Aluminum tubing would do wonders!

One of my buds has a pvc system. It has worked without any probs for years.

[Ryan Gee]

Tyler came over and helped organize a bit.

Looks great except for the bag of grass fertilizer.:D Your tools are bigger than mine.:cut: :saw: :weld: :grind:

When are you putting the engine in the truck? or are you taking the pathy to gone?

[Ryan Gee]

The engine just got a part it has been waiting for. So some new build pics of the engine will probably show up after Gone Moab.

The Pathy is going to do Gone Moab again. She will be getting all the bruises from last year fixed here soon.

The Hardbody project has grown beyond getting done in time. What the heck, it will give us something to talk about next winter.

[NissanNut]

Sounds good. I hope to take My pathy next year.:D

[Ryan Gee]

I guess I had better book that cabin for next year already!!! :crazy:

[ChefTyler]

I stopped by Ryan's last night with dinner and this is what I put together (sorry for the crappy nighttime camera phone pic)


Going to be some fun stuff made with this bad boy!
