I love that your dealing with air compressor while using the battery powered nailer. I understand the dichotomy of it. Still funny
I can’t lie. Don’t like the look overall due to rainfall thoughts. But I don’t know too much for your area. You gave me a couple ideas for my dust collector. You could brand this concept mostly in same way for woodworkers. Many of the small nailers we own are battery now. Lol. Nice job. Ty
Thanks for sharing! You're likely going to want to add more air venting (up high & down low for convective flow) to keep from overheating the compressor. If you live in an area that has freezing weather in the winter, an auto-drain with heat tape on the drain line are in order. If your drain line bursts and your compressor is left on, and you're not home, the compressor may catch fire... I saw a pole barn that burnt to the ground because an air line ruptured while the owner was not there, and the compressor ran continuously and got so hot it caught fire. The manual, twist type rotary timer switches are a nice safety feature to add to compressors so that you don't accidentally leave them "on" & unattended... and the neighbors might enjoy NOT hearing your compressor cycle in the wee hours of the morning.
Thanks for the tips!
You should never leave a compressor on if you are not using air. Just safety common sense practices.
Supper envious of your skills, not only are you a hands on tools and fabrication ninja, but your also a Solid Digital Design Wizard! skills skills skills...
Appreciate the kind words!
Turned out so good, looks great on the side of the house! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks!
If you really want to soundproof your shed, they sell rolls of soundproofing lead the studs and cover with drywall, you will be able to stand next to the shed and hardly hear it. Many years ago we used it an office building where offices were next to a print shop with several noisy printing presses, upon completion you could stand next to wall and hardly hear the presses.
Also I would install a vent at the bottom of the shed and a small exhaust fan at the top to draw air into the shed for cooling the compressor
Thansk did the tips
You do such a great job with your videos Ratha! Clear descriptions at the appropriate level of detail. This was a very practical, useful project. I like the idea of limiting size and scope to just the air compressor.
Take care.
Thanks!
Te quedo super bien.
Wish you made more videos man. Great job.
Yeah I agree I wish I made more videos too. I need to get a video editing team one day so I can push out more vids. Thanks agian for watching
What a great build. Nice job! And thanks for sharing.
Your welcome!
Amazing Build! Thanks for sharing your process!
Well done.,
Glad you like it🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hella impressive Ratha! It looks so cool in person too
🙏🏽
Great video. I especially like the cameo walk by your cat did. ;-)
Thank you! 😊
Nice work! Looks like it belongs there (my wife would approve 🙂). Next projects: electrical supply to compressor, air lines to the shop, tank water drain, possibly sound insulation and more ventilation. It never ends my friend 👍
Thanks
You do really quality craftsmanship. Nice job!
Thank you!
Great video! I've been thinking about building one of those ever since I bought my CNC Plasma about 15 years ago.
It sure helps keep that noise out!
Nice job my man
Thank you!
I realize this is an older video, but I have to say you built a very nice shed/encloser. I have plans to do pretty much the same thing with going from a portable in shop compressor, to a stand up fixed compressor out behind my shop in a similar encloser. I also been looking at Quincy compressors and like the 60 gallon stand up and think it will supply all my pneumatic hand tool needs. However, I am looking at building more of a screened in shed to house the compressor. While not totally weather proof, I think it will offer what I need...and pretty much shed any rain from the compressor...
That’s a good idea
I'd say it turned out really dang good!!!
Thanks and it works great too!
Nice build!
Thanks!
@@RathaSochenda A thought, plumb the water drain from the compressor to the outside so you don't have to clean up that mess when you need to empty it.
@@Boosted98gsx Great tip.. I'll make sure to do that when I install the autodrain valve.
Another tip, and how I manage my AC compressor. I use a zwave 220V contactor, which is turned on when my garage lights. I have two switches for lights, it it tied (wirelessly) to the "far side" of the garage. So that way if you flick on the near side lights you dont get the compressor (just grabbing something, etc) but if you turn on the far side lights the compressor turns on. I also have a zwave water shut off motor on a ball valve which operates at the same time so that the compressor tank doesn't leak down with inevitable small leaks.
Great tips thanks!
Looks so good brother, keep up with maintenance on the shed to prevent decay to the bottom edges of your outer walls.
Thanks for the tips
Holy smokes!You got a panther?? 06:17

Just started to watch the video. I had the same problem. I have a CNC plasma table and piston air compressor (will upgrade to screw type in the future). Since where I live we have winters with negative temperatures, I opted to build compressor box for my horizontal 100 liter, 5hp compressor. Built it with 18mm OSB sheets and lined it inside with 20mm thick foam sheets. Added 3 150mm fans for cooling, with temperature sensor on a compressor cylinders itself to turn on/off the fans. The box works amazing! Before you had to have hearing protection to be near the compressor, not you can pretty comfortably speak on a phone near it.
Phil, those are some great ideas and tips. I may need to incorporated those after I plumb out the air and electrical lines to the shed.
That shed is framed better than most houses. Honestly, it's built like it was going to be 3 stories tall.
🙏🏽
Another way to prevent the air compressor from being left on is to get a 12volt door bell transformer and some 12volt LED indicator lights for a trailer and take a leg from the compressor side of the 220 or 120volt input to power the transformer, and run bell wire from the transformer output side to wherever you want to mount the indicator lights.(in the shop, in your house, wherever)This has the advantage that a timer on the compressor might shut off at inopportune times while the transformer never shuts off until you manually shut the compressor down at the end of the work day. Very inexpensive to do. Completely safe. Had / have my compressor and hidden from view lighting, set up this way for decades.
Cool thanks for the tips
Don't forget all hard surfaces reflect sound and act as a secondary speaker for noise. Almost anything soft will help, such as rubber sheet or Roxul Safe and Sound insulation to attenuate unwanted sound. I want to get a Milwaukee nail gun like you have.
👍🏾
And while you are at it, and if you have a sawdust collector because you do wood working, build a similar shed for your sawdust collector and put it in there. Those things howl like a banshee. I made mine on top of a raised platform to prevent it from sitting on the ground, insulated it, and put a filtered return air duct through the wall to my wood shop so that I do not lose heated air in winter or cool air in summer. It also keeps all of the mess when you empty it out of the shop.
This is assuming you plan or have, a ducted exhaust system to each woodworking machine or a way of hooking up each machine in turn inside your shop.
👍🏾
A few questions: Do your neighbors still hear the compressor? Could/should you add insulation to make it quieter? Should you add small vents down low on the walls so that air can flow in and out? Without air-flow will your compressor create enough heat to affect operation or life of it? In some locales any structure built that stands over 7 feet tall requires a Building Permit...I assume you're not in Los Angeles County? I didn't see how you plumbed the air into your work-shop. It's a good-looking, very professional build.
So far my neighbors have been very please. They said they don’t even notice it. You could definitely add some sound reading insulation to make it even quieter similar to what they use for diy home generators. In my area I’m fine but yeah I would check your local coded/requirements. Check out my clean air system video I’ll break down how I plumbed it inside to the shop. Extra vents and a fan would definitely help with cooling especially in warm climate areas. I probably should out one eventually. Especially if you have your air compressor running all the time.
Nice build!
I’d be interested to know the dB level with the shed door open and closed while standing 10 ft from it.
Also, can you still hear it when you’re in your shop?
Thanks. Once I get it all plumb out I’m hoping I can make another video to show it all working and seeing what the noise level is. 🤞
Really enjoy your channel and would like to know what solidworks are you using don't know much about it but would like a program like it thanks
Thanks. Solidworks is my opinion is a professional CAD modeling program. I learn it in school but you can pretty much learn how to get by started watching RUclips videos

👍
I can’t believe you moved that heavy compressor by yourself
🦾
what version of solidworks do you use?
2018
How close is your neighbors house? Does the noise bother them? Not sure where you're located ... do you have cold winters?
I’m about 20ft away. They say then don’t even hear it at all when they’re in their house. You can slightly hear it outside and ask my neighbor if it ever bug them when there outside and they said it was nothing. The barely notice it. We do have cold winters here in the Pacific Northwest but nothing extreme
What was the software you used to design your shed?
Solidworks
@@RathaSochenda Much appreciated
Whoo, first!
Niice!
🥰😍🥰
Bought a new quincy and was ready to do what you did, until I found that not h😢aving it in a heated building would void the warrenty.
Make sense, any water in the after cooler etc.,could freeze and cause damage, plus starts on cold oil is not good.
That makes sense. I’ve own my Quincy for 10 years now and it’s been through some extreme temps and abuse honestly I feel like it didn’t even phase it. I try not to over think these scenarios but I do take care of my equipment
@@RathaSochenda I think you're right. I've had many compressors outside with no covering at all, but I hated to lose a warrenty on a new machine.
I got the Quincy 7.5 hp 2-stage and I've really been happy with it.
bro the measure of this shed is 3 ft deep and 4 ft wide? how tall is this shed?
About 8ft tall
@@RathaSochenda thanx alot buddy pretty awesome job bro
Love the shed. I was just watching "This Old House" the other day and they talked about drip edge installation. They mentioned something that I didn't even realize. They say you need to pull that bottom kicker on the drip edge away from the kicker. It will save your facia boards from water. Found the video here....ruclips.net/video/sDTCTbyyg1s/видео.html Just interesting and figured I would share.
1. Since you made a "Building" that is more or less permanent, doesn't that require a build permit or some kind of approval from the city? (heard this somewhere when something permanent is added to land)
2. Why not add sound insulation on the inside of the shed to dampen the noise more (for the rooms just inside the house from it, and your neighbors)?
Depend on you local laws. I did add insulation down the road and an extra fan to bring help with flow during the summer months
This video is a year old and I imagine the compressor is shot? Bad idea.
Why would it be shot. Still works
Plenty of compressors reside outside, just covered by a lean-to roof. What do you think would cause this compressor to fail?
I can’t lie. Don’t like the look overall due to rainfall thoughts. But I don’t know too much for your area. You gave me a couple ideas for my dust collector. You could brand this concept mostly in same way for woodworkers. Many of the small nailers we own are battery now. Lol. Nice job. Ty
