Well we have everything here from the shop in Texas so it's time to outfit a new
shop.
As most know, AIR in the shop is a must. With the sale of the Texas
home, I sold my compressor to the new owner, a TriFive owner with several
projects.
The new shop has a good size shop with two other attached
structures, one of which is now the compressor room. The old owner had used this
space for storage of his cabinet lumber and other items. Sadly, the PO had
passed several years back and this portion of the shop didn't receive a lot of
care. After an hour or so of cleaning and disposing of several old oak cabinet
skeletons, it has become a nice usable space for the compressor.

I
purchased a new Eaton from Polar Air Compressors. I decided on a horizontal
eighty gallon with 7.5 HP Four Cylinder that puts out 35 cfm. It should do
anything I need to do relative to air powered tools. My Glass Blast cabinet will
be in the same room saving valuable floor space in the main shop.

In
Texas, I had used a combination of PVC pipe, black pipe and some new 1/2"
plastic system. Here, I opted for the 3/4" Max Line. Presently, I'm in the
process of running the lines and fittings to all sections of the
shop.
