lots of really good ideas. Vice just plopped in general area, agree completely to repositioning. This is all before...
I wanted the vice on that corner in case something had to go out the door. Going to put another support under that section plus under the drill press on the other side. Have lots of 4x4's left over from prior garden. Might as well make it sturdy.
never thought of water in the hose lines but yeah...fifty feet of line plus another ten say of various lead in lines and connecting lines. So sixty feet of hose offering a chance to condense, should one blow out the line before connecting a tool?
remember, never used air tools before but if there's moisture in there either trap it or blow it out.
Ok, I'll go blow out the air tank tomorrow, that should make a nice noise, and see how much water comes out since I first installed it. The tank valve is on the very bottom and ok to get at, though i'm not putting my face down there while opening that valve.
If I do build the new garage storage building next door, and needed a good air compressor, like an Ingersoll Rand type 30 or a US made Quincy to power equipment lifts, things I really want to work properly, and also higher air use tools, I would think about installing one of those air filter/drier kits in line. Kind of stuff is standard on rotary screw compressors, clearly the water should be religiously prevented from accumulating or damage will ensue. if the expensive compressors have this stuff standard, says something about the general need on smaller compressors. Even low hour ones.
Point well made and taken.
