Couldn’t tell you how many “workbench build” videos I’ve watched and half way skipped through, but I can honestly tell you I have watched every single second of this serious and I’m blown away. Amazing work
Nice-ass bench. My friend, Armando made my bench. I have a vice and have overhauled engines and motors on it. It is still as sturdy as the day he nailed it together, 30 years ago.
Decibel level seems to be reduced. I doubt negative commenters don’t have a system as nice. A lot of hard work went into your station. You can be proud.
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
I like the idea of having air onboard the bench, it’s a nice accompaniment. I’d monitor the air temp when working that for bigger nailup projects. I plumbed my entire workshops (3) for air including outside access when I separated my compressor to an insulated closet. I added both a fresh air intake from outside and also a low voltage fan that kicks on exhausting the closet air only when the compressor kicks. It’s an upright 60 gallon tank so I also vented the filters outside to draw cooler air in than the closet ventilation would provide and it’s run flat out for hours during a shed build, but I could touch it and it was only warm. You’re right to warn others about the electrical. I too am a retired sparky so I worry about others learning curves. You know, as in going to a home where “Harry the homeowner” tried to wire an entire addition himself with a single 15a circuit lol. He’s lucky he didn’t burn down the place. Wire nutted splices floating in walls and such, was scary enough for 110v wiring, luckily I learned of all this mess when he asked me to do a couple of 220 circuits for range, dryer and forced hot water! 😉 Thanks for the great ideas on the bench overall, I’ve already built mine years ago and it has the table saw, miter saw, planer and router already. I use an industrial blower ceiling mounted then vented outdoors and one cyclone barrel lid that ties in the benches and individual tools with sweeps down. I even use it to vent exhaust from small engines and cars too when working with running engines indoors during the winter. Great stuff, thanks for taking us along!✌🏼
When I started watching your project here. I just wanted to tell you, woodworker, to woodworker, "Your bench is just way too big for your space. But after seeing what you did with it, I have to admit, "I was truly impressed" And that's hard to do with me. Ok, it's still too large for your space, but you build a beautiful and very well-crafted workstation! Congratulation, you're a true and very good woodworker. Congratz!
I feel as if I am being lead to the promise land because what you have done is amazing. May you have the same success here in all aspects of your life.

Great Workbench... I also enclosed my compressor, To get rid of the normal heat of the compressor, I used a natural force, I added several small holes in the floor panel so fresh air could get to the "box" and the heated air will travel to the top and go out trough the door vent holes in the top (heat travels up and pulls cool air from below the workbench... Hope this helps.
Like your videos and soulutions 🙂. If you make a filter box on the inside of the door you will protect your compressor from the dust in the workshop and dampen the sound even further. A friend had a similar design (he used hinges instead of bars for the "hiding" of machines instead of pipes) he converted the table to 3 tables (that he could link up how ever he pleased) a couple of years ago when he began replacing all Ikea furniture with home built stuff. The reason was that he needed to use his tools and have a assembly area for the furniture at the same time. Greetings from Sweden and keep up the good work.
Pretty sure I saw a comment he made in another video (from this same series) saying that he was an electrician by trade (in his day job). But even so, I completely agree with your comment, and I've also been enjoying this series immensely.
I've watched your series and I am definitely impressed with your skills and your ingenuity. You have solved a lot of issues I have with my own work station, and I definitely plan on using a lot of your techniques on my own projects. Insulating the air compressor is a great idea. However, isolating it from the plywood will definitely help with noise control. I'm an audio snob in addition to being a wood worker, so I know a little bit about the subject. If you place the compressor on some thick rubber feet or insulate the bottom panel to help isolate the sound, it will make a difference. Really, glueing and screwing another piece of plywood with the soundproofing to the bottom of your floor panel and mounting the compressor to that will make a big difference. Eliminating vibration and resonance is the key. I thought I knew about electricity until I watched your setup. It really impressed me and you know a lot about wiring, which makes your setup really impressive. Great build and awesome videos. Keep them coming.
I really like this guy..he only have a small shop but still can manage nicely..I've been followed this guy video from the start until the last one..nice job man..i like it
I purchased a California Air compressor 8 gallon, which is very quiet. The compressor comes in very handy with my pneumatic power tools and of course the air gun. I love your compact working station. Thank you for sharing.
Hello, I have seen every episode of the series and I am very impressed with your work. Congratulations! ... except for some details this very good installation of the compressor! ... but there is something important that I want to mention to you: generally the manufacturer recommends to empty the remaining air once the compressor is occupied to avoid internal corrosion caused by humidity and thus lengthens its useful life
Not to diminish from your efforts but I believe the largest sound transference comes from the compressor feet/wheels on the plywood. I suggest a layer of floor mat (foam) and then soundproofing material there. The plywood becomes like a boombox with that compressor setting on it.
Just to add onto that, for the compressor housing it's best if you use the same MDF board you used for the top surface. It tends to dampen sound much better the solid wood and plywood.
Whenever a person starts a sentence with, ” not to diminish.., not be negative.., in addition to...,” get ready to be diminished, added to, or hear negativity. Just enjoy his hard work.

Love this build. Watching a bunch of these to come up some ideas for my own build. The only change I think I would have made was to fix an coupler/adapter for the compressor on the outside of the table instead of the hole with the hose fed through. You could use the feeder hole to store the hose or add storage for the hose inside the cabinet.
Now add something to automatically open the drain plug on the bottom of the air tank when you turn it off! It's good to drain the condensation and water from the tank to mitigate rust.
correct, why not change your air dump valve to do the condensate as well, connect drain to valve with quick coupler to aid removing compressor .. great videos John !. I'm about to start building my own workbench along the same lines..
I watched all of your videos on making your All-In-One-Workbench and I gotta tell you, it is an amazing design and I intend to do the same thing, since I am limited on space as well! Thanks for all the tremendous ideas!
awesome build...watched all 5 parts in one day...waiting for 6...very thoughtful placement of your tools. I think even Matthias would be impressed haha
wow, thanks, Matthew. I'm a bit far off from Matthias's work still. He's like a woodworking rock star. I am working on PART 6 though. Hope to have it out soon.
I know you did this awhile ago but did you consider heat build up during heavy use? Compressors create heat. You dont want it over heating. You should monitor the temp during heavy use and have some way for fresh air to enter and escape the box.
You might be able to improve the sound dampening even more if you add some 'decoupling' between the compressor and that piece of plywood it sits on. That should help reduce the amount of vibration being transferred to that panel.
Man great job, I love the concept. I built a multipurpose workbench a little while back but nowhere near as efficiently compact! I really like the control panel located outside of the compartment for easy access/control.
Wow! I love this bench. I’ve been looking at different ones, this is THE one! I loved the fact you put drawers in this. I would have never thought of that,.

I'm still trying to detect your accent, and I think it is German. Regardless, I still enjoy your videos. They are very explanatory and well shot. I think I could replicate your projects without any need to reference detailed drawings. So keep up the good work. Your camera man seems to really know how to capture the best shots.
Love this build. I'm going to take a lot from this build for mine. But if I could make a suggestion. I would make that's PVC proud of the cabinet face and add a cap. Might make transfer of the hose back inside easier from working height.
I know you said that you were going to do more, but... you at least want to put a couple of chunks of the sound isolation or anything which will absorb vibrations under the wheels and the front supports to stop vibration transmitting into the work table and all the flat panels acting as sound boards - love it so far, time for next vids!
I am really enjoying this series. I have a tiny 2 car garage where I have half of it for a workshop. I built something similar, but not as well done as yours. Looking forward to redoing it! Subscribed!
Wow... I just watched the whole series... this is something I would love to do. Im going to watch again and see if I can write down most of the part list...
Interesting! That looks like it should work well! I might have used a plastic tube for the hose storage. Get a piece big enough that you can fit the coil inside, round out the inner edge at one end, and install it through the wood panel. Now you have storage that somewhat excludes sound, keeps the hose separate and protected, and there's no wear at the point where it comes out of the cabinet.
I think I might have used a split door for the cabinet, with air inlet on the bottom. But then again, someone would have said "one door with vent in the door". Just different design philosophies, I suppose. Great video, good looking workbench.
This is becoming a very much wanted system for a small workshop.. sadly the size of my workshop would never be able to accommodate such a fantastic workstation but tol notch job mate. I love it
Love you work and it has inspired me to build a similar bench as I don't have a workshop and work out of my garage when it is not raining. I may have different considerations, but the concept is the same. Fit as many tools as compactly as possible without restricting the use. Only thing I want to suggest, is your air hose access hole letting a lot of the sound out? Would you be better off putting another wall between the compressor and your electrical control panel and sound proofing that also? Love your videos. Please keep them coming.
Loved this build.It's a pity I only stumbled across your channel today. What a breath of fresh air to watch a video from a fellow saffa (I assume). Hou die kamera aan die rol.....Subbed.
You just earned yourself one subscriber. Interesting project. I really like the way you utilized the limited work space. I will be buying most of your ideas for my small garage too.
really enjoying watching this build. the first 4 parts I'm like "yeah...I can do this. Nothing too difficult". Then, part 5 ....I'm like...."oh snap! Dude just took this shit to DEFCON level 5 mode!!" Uh, yeah...about that whole electrical stuff?!! LOL !! Well...I guess my "all in one workstation" doesn't HAVE to have the same level of compressor complexity.
It’s a great idea man looks like something my grandpa would’ve made. What if you put a magnet just outside the hose hole so your adapter always has a place that it sticks to.
Awesome video you went pretty ambititious with the features on your enclosure. Much of the stuff you did I don't really have the knowledge to do but I was wondering if I could rig up one of those automatic air/water valve releases. I also wanted to do gauages and a power button on the outside but not sure how you can do all that without disasembling the main pressure regulator of the unit. Was the red hose you use better for these sort of permanent purposes and is it stronger than the bulkier rubber 3/8" air hose? The compressor uses a combination of braided and copper piping so i'm not sure which is ideal when i'm rerouting stuff.
Great job my friend. My father was an electrician/ NC technician for 37 years. I will be seeking his help for this portion of the build for my own work bench. Great idea and I love your cabinet. One question I have is will overheating be an issue for the compressor since it’s enclosed? I live in a very warm climate. Thanks for the videos my friend. Take care
Except you've added a place for air to get into the compartment for the air compressor, you need another vent to allow the hot air escape that same compartment. If not, you'll eventually, overheat and burn out the motor on the compressor. It's called air flow for a reason and in an enclosed compartment, heat will kill your tools faster than anything. Otherwise, great build and yes, this is an old video.
The louvre in the door is hurting your soundproofing. I'd suggest adding a baffle behind it, on the inside of the cabinet. It won't take much and a quick look at some speaker inclosure baffles will give some good ideas. It's a small easy mod that can give a big payoff..
Yep, you need to decouple the compressor feet from the plywood around it. You can tell by how it sounds, it still sounds quite crisp (high frequencies are being transmitted) instead of muffled. This means the vibrations are being propagated through a hard material. The most effective decoupling would be to hang it with string but that comes with some downsides when moved of course. 1-2cm rubber foam mat would also do fine, but might compress (haha) over time and start to transmit vibrations more later.
Also Rockwool is a really efficient sound dampener. Probably more so than that foam you have (looks like acoustic tuning foam rather than acoustic dampening foam?)
To add to that, I've just built a box for my 2hp dust collector which makes a right racket. 18mm MDF all round with rockwool, frame decoupled from the box by hanging on 4 wire cords.
12:58 that one louver you installed to" let air in to fill the tank" pretty much nullifies all the sound insulation. The box is no where's near airtight, so plenty of air could "leak in" to fill the tank.
Half of the sound is being transmitted through the vibration of the compressor to the box. You have to place the parts of the compressor that sit on the box, on something that absorbs vibrations, something like soft silicone or even a simple soft cloth.
Use steel plate for sound barrier. For air intake use a maze just like car silencer. These recommendations will improve the sound reduction of your compressor emission.
nice build but instead putting the air hose around the pipe I would use a pipe with a bigger diameter and store it inside that's for sure easier to handle especially when putting it back
SUBSCRIBED!!! AWESOME workstation brother! binge watching the series plus your other videos. I would love to see an in depth video breaking down the interface you built it's brilliant. I think a lot of us that are not "engineers" or very knowledgeable in that area would learn a lot. Keep up the great. PS. I will most definitely "TRY" to build this, as best as a beginner can anyways :D
Sweet set up! I have two questions. What about heat dissipation from the compressor, if the demand is high? Also, what about the condensate from the compressor, when the dumping valve is engaged?
I don't think it'd get that hot from constant use( then again I had to watercool mine but it is filling two extra tanks) as for to moisture I think he made it dump outside the box directly onto the floor
Very nice and neat installation! I'm wondering if the compressor would be even quieter if you somehow isolated it from the cabinet which might actually be amplifying the vibrations of the compressor. Hey, I'm no expert on this. Just an idea. Again, fantastic job. Congratulations.
Quite sophisticated electronics for a little compressor that will run a blow gun or an air tool every once in a while. Unless you are going to put an air ram on your chop saw to raise and lower it...😸 And push your tool doors open. Should have put a blower vent system incorporated into the whole top to blow off dust. And have your vac system run around the floor like a Roomba Put some rubber on the bottom where the compressor sit to take away the wood echoing the vibration. Doesn't the compressor move around while it running?
Heat was/is a concern so I had two panel cooling fans that I was going to install into the box to help with airflow. I figured I would add them when I do the power layout for the bench which ended up taking longer than expected. I haven't used to compressor much since installing it but the few times I have I haven't had issues but like I said, I haven't used it much. I am still planning on adding the two fans to help with cooling.
I am working on part 6 but there are some small delays. I am planning on posting a short update in the week to give people that are following the build a bit more info on what to expect.
Like your idea and how I wish I have something similar as collecting tools as and when needed (and of course you don't get when you look for the particular darn thing) !! But in reality I lived in much smaller space, so I have to be even more inventive. But nonetheless ,great idea ,subbed !!
This is the video I've been waiting for. I just wanted to see how you were going to setup the compressor and hoses, but you went far beyond my imagination. The automatic decompression switch is fantastic! Not something I'm able to do, but I love it. Do you happen to know if there's a pre-built module available to buy somewhere, because that is just awesome.
I did the same as you with pancake compressor labeled low noise. Still loud for my metal shop. After listening to ultra quiet compressor from (California Air) I sold my older compressor for this one. I paid I think about $140US for it. Well worth the money. Watch YOU TUBE video for sound demo. It will change your mind as it did for me.

I know I'm late to the party, and I'm not gonna read the comments. However, your tank drain is ineffective. You should connect your dump valve to the drain port on the bottom of the tank. This is to dump condensate. You can actually obtain solenoid valves that plug into yours mains and operate at selectable time intervals. Dumping from this valve will also dump the entire system, achieving the same result, only better 😁
Yup, I am an electrician by day. I'd imagine the components to be very similar as many of our higher quality stuff comes from Europe, or at least the ones I've worked with.

wow, thanks, Matthew. I'm a bit far off from Matthias's work still. He's like a woodworking rock star. I am working on PART 6 though. Hope to have it out soon.
I knew you were good but then you just busted out electronics and pressurized air control like it was nothing ;-) great content man!
Most impressed with your work table build......I enjoy following you channel.
My best result for keeping my air compressor suppressed was putting it in a different shed than the one i was working in.
I know you did this awhile ago but did you consider heat build up during heavy use? Compressors create heat. You dont want it over heating. You should monitor the temp during heavy use and have some way for fresh air to enter and escape the box.

Hi Jean .. Great designs and videos!! Why the air dump valve? Why not just leave air/pressure in the receiver? Cheers GF
Very nicely done! I keep a small compressor in my shop and it's invaluable.

Only thing I want to suggest, is your air hose access hole letting a lot of the sound out? Would you be better off putting another wall between the compressor and your electrical control panel and sound proofing that also? Love your videos. Please keep them coming.
I still can't comprehend other lefties wearing watches on the left hand. Nice series thus far.
Loved this build.It's a pity I only stumbled across your channel today. What a breath of fresh air to watch a video from a fellow saffa (I assume). Hou die kamera aan die rol.....Subbed.
Indeed. Cape Town local. Thanks for the support!
Me too. Keep it up.
You just earned yourself one subscriber.
Interesting project. I really like the way you utilized the limited work space. I will be buying most of your ideas for my small garage too.
really enjoying watching this build. the first 4 parts I'm like "yeah...I can do this. Nothing too difficult". Then, part 5 ....I'm like...."oh snap! Dude just took this shit to DEFCON level 5 mode!!" Uh, yeah...about that whole electrical stuff?!! LOL !! Well...I guess my "all in one workstation" doesn't HAVE to have the same level of compressor complexity.
Awesome build my friend, you are one clever fellow. Thanks for sharing your Talents with us all. All the very best, Ricky
Thanks friend. Happy to hear you enjoyed it.
You the best man.... Will make your design for my workbench too... Thqnks
Damn man I love the quality of your work and how neat everything is ! Great video
Really enjoying this workbench series. Thanks :-)
u should make those boxes to sell for people to hook up to their compressor if they wanted something like this. great idea
It’s a great idea man looks like something my grandpa would’ve made. What if you put a magnet just outside the hose hole so your adapter always has a place that it sticks to.
Wow. This is awesome. I'm in the middle of my own work station. Too bad I didn't see this before I began. Amazing job.
I don't know how you expect people to take you seriously. No face piercings or tattoos. You are wearing proper footwear. 😄
Great project but I would have those electrical components in a high IP XX rating enclosures to protect it from fine dust and the potential of fire.
Excellent, now come over to my shop and do the same thing,,,,Ha! Great video!!!
Awesome video you went pretty ambititious with the features on your enclosure. Much of the stuff you did I don't really have the knowledge to do but I was wondering if I could rig up one of those automatic air/water valve releases. I also wanted to do gauages and a power button on the outside but not sure how you can do all that without disasembling the main pressure regulator of the unit. Was the red hose you use better for these sort of permanent purposes and is it stronger than the bulkier rubber 3/8" air hose? The compressor uses a combination of braided and copper piping so i'm not sure which is ideal when i'm rerouting stuff.
Great job my friend. My father was an electrician/ NC technician for 37 years. I will be seeking his help for this portion of the build for my own work bench. Great idea and I love your cabinet. One question I have is will overheating be an issue for the compressor since it’s enclosed? I live in a very warm climate. Thanks for the videos my friend. Take care
Except you've added a place for air to get into the compartment for the air compressor, you need another vent to allow the hot air escape that same compartment. If not, you'll eventually, overheat and burn out the motor on the compressor. It's called air flow for a reason and in an enclosed compartment, heat will kill your tools faster than anything. Otherwise, great build and yes, this is an old video.
Really cool build. Love all the great ideas!
The louvre in the door is hurting your soundproofing. I'd suggest adding a baffle behind it, on the inside of the cabinet. It won't take much and a quick look at some speaker inclosure baffles will give some good ideas. It's a small easy mod that can give a big payoff..
This is a work of art!!!
Yep, you need to decouple the compressor feet from the plywood around it. You can tell by how it sounds, it still sounds quite crisp (high frequencies are being transmitted) instead of muffled. This means the vibrations are being propagated through a hard material. The most effective decoupling would be to hang it with string but that comes with some downsides when moved of course. 1-2cm rubber foam mat would also do fine, but might compress (haha) over time and start to transmit vibrations more later.
Also Rockwool is a really efficient sound dampener. Probably more so than that foam you have (looks like acoustic tuning foam rather than acoustic dampening foam?)
To add to that, I've just built a box for my 2hp dust collector which makes a right racket. 18mm MDF all round with rockwool, frame decoupled from the box by hanging on 4 wire cords.
12:58 that one louver you installed to" let air in to fill the tank" pretty much nullifies all the sound insulation. The box is no where's near airtight, so plenty of air could "leak in" to fill the tank.
Wow your super talented man jack of all trades 👍
I've watched all the videos I'm impressed . great job!
Half of the sound is being transmitted through the vibration of the compressor to the box. You have to place the parts of the compressor that sit on the box, on something that absorbs vibrations, something like soft silicone or even a simple soft cloth.
Great work on this project lots of really good ideas Friend! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP
Love your channel. i just want to know where did you get the black insulation you used for your compressor compartment
thanks and keep it up
Everything with a place and everything in its place, love ya work bro. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Looks pretty neat....a good job...👍🏻
Very clever!! I love the house cool idea!!
Use steel plate for sound barrier. For air intake use a maze just like car silencer. These recommendations will improve the sound reduction of your compressor emission.
Inspiraton job.
Congratulations
nice build but instead putting the air hose around the pipe I would use a pipe with a bigger diameter and store it inside that's for sure easier to handle especially when putting it back
Also, it allows a stronger mount, attaching both ends of the tube to the cabinet wall.
Or a combination of both.
SUBSCRIBED!!! AWESOME workstation brother! binge watching the series plus your other videos. I would love to see an in depth video breaking down the interface you built it's brilliant. I think a lot of us that are not "engineers" or very knowledgeable in that area would learn a lot.
Keep up the great.
PS. I will most definitely "TRY" to build this, as best as a beginner can anyways :D
Good work. Don't know if you will see this post. But on the air hose. If it was on an angle it would stow better?
Sweet set up! I have two questions. What about heat dissipation from the compressor, if the demand is high? Also, what about the condensate from the compressor, when the dumping valve is engaged?
I don't think it'd get that hot from constant use( then again I had to watercool mine but it is filling two extra tanks) as for to moisture I think he made it dump outside the box directly onto the floor
Very nice and neat installation! I'm wondering if the compressor would be even quieter if you somehow isolated it from the cabinet which might actually be amplifying the vibrations of the compressor. Hey, I'm no expert on this. Just an idea. Again, fantastic job. Congratulations.
Larson Bennett I'm no expert either haha but it seems you are spot on in your assumption as a few people have pointed it out.
Quite sophisticated electronics for a little compressor that will run a blow gun or an air tool every once in a while.
Unless you are going to put an air ram on your chop saw to raise and lower it...😸
And push your tool doors open.
Should have put a blower vent system incorporated into the whole top to blow off dust.
And have your vac system run around the floor like a Roomba
Put some rubber on the bottom where the compressor sit to take away the wood echoing the vibration.
Doesn't the compressor move around while it running?
You should do a separate video that shows us how to wire up the stuff for the compressor
I can do that. I didn't go into it too much originally because every country's standards are different and I didn't want people getting hurt.
Amazing work. If I can ask one question...is the build up of heat in the enclosure a concern and if so how did you take care of it?
Heat was/is a concern so I had two panel cooling fans that I was going to install into the box to help with airflow. I figured I would add them when I do the power layout for the bench which ended up taking longer than expected. I haven't used to compressor much since installing it but the few times I have I haven't had issues but like I said, I haven't used it much. I am still planning on adding the two fans to help with cooling.
Thanks for the reply. Again, fantastic job and thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge.
When's part 6 coming out? The table build is awesome!
I am working on part 6 but there are some small delays. I am planning on posting a short update in the week to give people that are following the build a bit more info on what to expect.
Wish I was as smart as this dude
Me too I think I'm stupid now lol dude is a genius great work
My man has the coolest mobile bench I’ve seen, and has the worst drill/driver ever haha
Haha, I love my tiny Bosch.
Like your idea and how I wish I have something similar as collecting tools as and when needed (and of course you don't get when you look for the particular darn thing) !! But in reality I lived in much smaller space, so I have to be even more inventive. But nonetheless ,great idea ,subbed !!
This is the video I've been waiting for. I just wanted to see how you were going to setup the compressor and hoses, but you went far beyond my imagination. The automatic decompression switch is fantastic! Not something I'm able to do, but I love it. Do you happen to know if there's a pre-built module available to buy somewhere, because that is just awesome.
Nevermind, I googled "automatic compressor drain" and got a TON of hits! lol. I still love yours with the indicator light though.
Great video. A lot of work. It would have been cheaper and quieter by buying a wisper quiet compressor. I did and i love it.
Paul I bought that compressor from a older man when he retired. Barely paid anything for it. So, you know, I had it.
I did the same as you with pancake compressor labeled low noise. Still loud for my metal shop. After listening to ultra quiet compressor from (California Air) I sold my older compressor for this one. I paid I think about $140US for it. Well worth the money. Watch YOU TUBE video for sound demo. It will change your mind as it did for me.

I know I'm late to the party, and I'm not gonna read the comments.
However, your tank drain is ineffective. You should connect your dump valve to the drain port on the bottom of the tank. This is to dump condensate. You can actually obtain solenoid valves that plug into yours mains and operate at selectable time intervals. Dumping from this valve will also dump the entire system, achieving the same result, only better 😁
Looks to me that the kit you have used is that your day job is a sparks? And looks like the stuff we use here in the UK
Yup, I am an electrician by day. I'd imagine the components to be very similar as many of our higher quality stuff comes from Europe, or at least the ones I've worked with.
baaarbaro te esta quedando!
Does dumping the contents of tank eliminate (Greatly reduce) the need to drain water from the tank?
Just curious, couldn't you just run a hose directly to the outside, or from the compressor to a filter then to a hose? Thanks in advance!
