I like the rifle by the air compressor. Very handy.

I noticed that too but I thought it was a shotgun.

It's a shotgun. I'll give you shell and buy you a beer after you shoot it if you want.

It looks rough. I'll let @Curious Hound try it.

I ain't 'fraid of no boom stick.

Turned out great. If you do hard pipe the air over by the door, make sure you put a water separator on there. All the drops by the doors at the shop get full of water during the summer.

Good point. I don't have fancy water separaters on my drops. But each one ends with a tee. My hose connection comes off the side. The bottom of the tee drops a bit further and has a valve. So the condensate colke ts down by the valve under the tee. I just go by periodically and hold a bucket underneath and crack the valve to let the water out.

Braver man than I am. I don't remember where that thing came from, but I think it came from my aunts, so it probably belonged to one of my grandfathers. It's a 12 ga double barrel shotgun. I don't see a name on it, but the markings under the barrel indicate it was from Belgium and made sometime between 1898 – 1924. My grandparents were all poor, so I'm sure it was cheap and probably purchased at the local hardware store.

It was probably made with paper shot cartridges in mind then. If you ever wanted to try it, I would only use low power, low brass in it.

It's got quite a bit of surface rust. I doubt it has any value other than it's been in the family. Someday I'd like to do something with it and just display it. The stock is broken and someone wrapped what looks like black electrical tape around it decades ago.

Please do not be tempted to run your air lines with PVC pipe. If you want to get technical, OSHA forbids using it for compressed air. I thought you could use PEX, but they do not like you using that either.

Georgia is frequently humid, so when I ran my PVC airlines around the shop, I have a little tiny bit of fall on all the horizontal runs, and I put a T on the bottom of all the turns instead of an elbow.

On the leg that points down, I just put a cap over it. I drilled the caps and put a tire valve in, so I can bleed all those spots quickly.

Just a thought

I would never use PVC. It actually amazes me that people have used it for air lines, and even more shocking that businesses have done it. I'd use black pipe.
