Salvage Workshop mostly added drawers and shelves in places that had the space. My default seems to be to pile stuff on my workbench until there is no room, then build shelves/drawers to hold all the stuff that used to be on the workbench. It’s a constant struggle!
Don't try to fit 10 gallons of shit in a quart jug. The biggest problem you have is using your shop as a work area and a storage space, you can't do both at the same time and area. You had to spend several hours just moving junk to install the compressor, that should tell you something. Stop pack ratting and start tossing stuff you don't need, start with the 7 old suitcases, what good are they??? the older garden tools you don't use stuffed in the milk can and in buckets, if you don't plan on refinishing them in the near future, find somewhere else to store this stuff besides your shop, they are only taking up valuable shop space. You also have too many cabinets and filing cabinets in such a small area. Way too much clutter, unless you have a good memory better than most, you can spend half the day looking for something.
@rockislandrides The SUIT CASES are GONE!!! LOL (I still think they are pretty cool!) I AGREE!! I need an entire building dedicated to storage of materials and planned projects! Now, I do know where just about EVERYTHING in my shop is located, but the problem sometimes becomes moving things to get to it, and that's a HUGE reason for all the changes I have planned! One thing about me is that I am very good at getting awesome materials, tools, or equipment for free or very cheap that they tend to clog up the work space in the shop because I don't want to store things out in the rain. The other reason I keep many things is because I don't always have the money to just go buy whatever I need for projects, so having things in the shop has saved me A LOT of money throughout the years! It's also made it possible to do many projects when I otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford to complete, so it's a double edge sword and I've been walking it for many many years!!. Now I will say that I have a woodshop, machine shop, metal fab area, general workbench area and still room to pull a huge truck into it for work, all in one building, so in this shop, things will ALWAYS be a bit tight, but that's the reason for all the updates/ changes I plan to make! You make some very good points, and I appreciate the comment! As always, thanks for watching & commenting!
The people who can do many things perfectly and easily at the same times are genius, and you are one of them, I like your ideas and thinking way to solve problems the perfect way, now I'm addicted to watch you and your work almost every day of my spare times.
IDK about that! I'm just a guy that only knows enough to be dangerous! I do appreciate the compliment though! Thanks for watching & commenting! Lot's more to come!
A really nice job. I too worked for years with an undersized compressor. This spring I built a dedicated compressor shed out by my barn and piped air back to my shop underground. The compressor is a new Campbell Hausfeld 80 gallon with a 25CFM pump. Its so nice to have unlimited air and no compressor noise. I also have my parts blasting cabinet in the compressor house. It's so awesome to have ample air to properly run air tools, especially the air hogs like sanders and blasting cabinets. I'm sure you really love it.
You are certainly a craftsman> I am sure nothing is insurmountable to you. What a fascinating series of videos to restore a compressor unit, install it and make many outlets about your working areas. Well done, I am rather jealous, if only I could ........!
Thank you my friend! I try not to let anything get in my way, but I'm ALWAYS learning! If you enjoyed this video series, I'll bet you'll enjoy some of my others! Thanks for watching & supporting the channel! Lots more to come!
Besides holding my breath as you worked under an unsecured load, good project. I believe you are required and its a good idea , to either cable or chain the elevated compressor to the roof joists and wall. The vibration will be intense, so check your fasteners at least quarterly if moderate use, mire often if use is daily or weekly. Yes. A tour, planning stages, construction and installation, as well as all the rebuild/redtorations. I'm never bored by your accomplishments. I hope your wife understands your fan base.
The lord blessed you, I got blessed with one and have been wondering, what to do and how to fix this thing, and here I find a good channel and a place to get info and parts for the Pacific people, he comes through every time for me, thank you Jesus
Love your videos. That's what I use to do at one time was to set up shop, make tools run, and make use of these tools to do things with. If I lived close to you, I'd be there every day to help you get this shop set up. Excellent entertainment videos as well. Hope you can get that loader cat up and running again.
Another great series. This is inspiring me to upgrade my similar 110V freebie compressor to the 220V worn out unit I can have. If/when you add another tank and/or compressor at floor level you could run the upper compressors drain into the lower tank then drain the water from both at floor level. My suggestion to space and ease of cleanup would be some $80 Tractor Supply hose reels at each drop. Did that in my tiny garage and it helps so much. It just takes seconds to put a hose away and it's not a fight to get it to hang neatly. On your compressor if your shop gets hot maybe plumb the air intake out through the wall and down to where you can reach the filter for service. This would give it cooler intake air and also help silence the compressor. Another idea. Attach a ratchet or pull strap to that hand truck at handle level then you can strap bulky things down and they don't fight you when you try to tip it back.
Awesome work! This looks so much better than a cluttered corner! Space saving ideas: using overhead space (which you did)...ruthlessly REDUCE the stuff you have (it is easy to become a packrat)...create a standardized container system (labelled bins on scaffolding, this will reduce clutter bigtime).
Any shop work is cool with me, I do not watch TV and this computer is in my shop, I watch videos while welds are cooling or paint is drying.. love the channel.
Oh now I recognize you. I remember following this compressor build quite a while back. I didn't subscribe back then as I was going through at bit of a compressor phase. Oddly enough I'm going back through a compressor phase after just subscribing and saw the tank. Love all the lathes you picked up. I have not finished watching this video yet, but have mounted quite a few very heavy compressors in rafters before. Looking forward to seeing how you go about it. Every situation is different. Every situation is sketchy at some point, but with calculated risks we get it done.
As far as I'm concerned, it's your shop, it's your channel, so yes, do what you want to do. I'm along for the ride because you tackle some interesting projects, and your workmanship is simple, straight forward and *right*. Keep up the good work ... :-)
Very true, but I created this channel to share Salvage Workshop with you and the rest of the world, and for that reason it helps me to know what kind of content everyone will enjoy!

Excellent job on the puffer, you are to be commended for saving a quality manufactured item and bringing it back to life. Properly maintained it will see you and your children out! However, I'm not convinced with locating it where you have! In summer, the temperature in the roof space will be considerably higher than at ground level, so it's going to run much hotter. May be an issue depending on how long it runs for. Tank condensation will also be higher. Also, servicing and repairs aren't going to be convenient. It would look better at ground level to!
Absolutely the most satisfying thing I’ve seen all week! You can’t have enough air in the workshop and this is industrial grade superb! Nice work brother, love the snarl too!
Enjoyed this series. You certainly have a valuable asset in that compressor. It makes my 5hp 60gal look puny by comparison, but my 5hp 60gal is twice the machine I used for over 40 years... :-)
Yes, it turned out alright! If I had to but it new, there is no way I would want to afford it, but now it's a workhorse with a bit of value!! My old compressor wasn't in the same ball park either, so don't feel too bad! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Would love to see the other upgrades! My wife doesn’t want you to publish them she says I’m good enough at hauling scrap “projects” home all by myself and I don’t need anymore ideas....... I say I need all the ideas you care to part with and video! Thanks!
LOL... If you're anything like me, I'm sure you could come up with all kinds of projects either way, so I'll just go with what YOU have to say on this one! LOL Thanks for the feedback!
I repaired a compressor as well not quite as old mine was a champion from the 80s. They definitely don't make stuff like they used too. Love the paint job on your tank
It turned out pretty nice!! Thank you! I will definitely put it to good use here at the shop!! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lot's more to come!
The compressor series was pretty impressive you did a really nice job one day I hope my shop looks as good as that. I would love to see what you do with the rest of the place because me inspiration and ideas.
I truly appreciate that!! Until I recently started shooting these videos, I didn't realize people would actually enjoy watching me do the things I do out in the shop!! Thank you for the feedback, it helps a lot!
You know you are working too hard when even your tripod gets tired. :) Very cool shop setup. Eventually I hope to have somewhere I could so something like that. For now I will try and enjoy my existing garage and enjoy yours as well. :)
LOL.. ya that was a long day, and apparently I had more energy that the tripod that day! My shop didn't start out looking the way it does now, so dont worry, just keep at it, and dont be afraid to take an educated risk or 2!! I have taken more than I can count, and it's allowed Salvage Workshop to grow into what it is today! My latest video is a tour of the shop before a bunch of changes if you'd like to take a look! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Hi! I have started binging your videos, and thoroughly enjoy your content :D This compressor series was really nice. I must say I am impressed with the order you have your stuff in. I always thought drawers is where stuff goes to die, but you have given me some inspiration. Looking forward to seeing more of the skid steer. Cheers.
I definitely tried to think of every need I might have for air in the shop... I'm the kind of person that likes to do things ALL the way ONCE if time & money allow, because the chances of going back and changing things in the near future is extremely low (unless I mess something up lol). I'm glad you'd be interested in watching the shop change, lots to come!
totally agree! Other than adding a few breakers for certain things, that panel has been that way since Ive owned the property I I actually have a need to upgrade the panel... Here's the situation:I am considering trading some construction work for a VERY nice Lincoln Power Wave welder with wire feeder. This will give me actual mig & tig, with the option for pulse welding, but the problem is that this unit needs a dedicated 125 Amp breaker, but I only have a 100 amp panel in the shop. The main building has a 200 amp panel that feeds the shop's 100 amp panel approx 150 feet away with 2awg / gauge wire (I'm pretty sure)... My question: Can I upgrade the panel to a 150 amp or even 200 amp panel without needing to change anything in the main building other than the breaker? Also is the wiring able to handle the increased load without needing to be upgraded to a larger size wire? I would REALLY like to upgrade to this welder, but I don't want to do it unsafely either! Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
@@SalvageWorkshop You could probably do 150 amp if your main is 200 amp. I wouldn't try and go 200 amp without upgrading your main to more. If it was me, I'd up my main to 300 amp, and then up the sub panel to 200. 150 amp will have issues, if your running the welder and it's really pulling 125 amps and the compressor comes on that should trip the breaker. I don't believe the welder will pull 125 amps, I can see 60 amps. Would need to see nameplate or to know the model # to know for sure. As for the wire, yes you would need a bigger wire, 200 amp would be a #2/0 AWG while 150 is a #1 AWG. You could run it in Aluminum wire. Can get a triplex direct bury service entry wire. Normally runs about $1 a foot. As for the wire to the main, if that is your service feed, it might be able to go to 300 amp without needing to upgrade it. If your not wanting to up the main, can put a load on it (most everything that will run at once) and use a amp clamp to check how much amps are being pulled.
@@whocares6698 It's not always immediate, but I appreciate that you watch, comment, and support Salvage workshop, so it's the lease I can do! I will try my best to keep it up as the channel grows, I enjoy interacting with everyone! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Oh the joy of moving heavy things by yourself 😁 I've pent the last few weeks reorganising the shed to accomodate some new equipment so I guess it wont hurt me to see someone else doing it 😏
LOL... Yes it can be difficult, but it's awesome when people tell me there's no way to move something, and then I figure out a way to do it! Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
Much appreciated!! definitely one of those solutions driven by a problem, and my problem was lack of free floor space! As always, thanks for watching & commenting!
I THOUGHT about cutting corners SOOO many times, but I am a firm believer in doing something right the first time if time and money allow, because the chances of changing things in the near future are slim, so I'd rather put the work in up front! I also enjoy watching machinery being brought back to life just as much as I like doing it! As always, thanks for watching & commenting!
Glad to see that you didn't cheap out and use PVC. Doing the job right the first time will pay off down the road. Always like to see other ideas on how a shop should be set up. It will for sure be better than my clusterfu** . lol
I totally agree! The only other thing I considered is one of those premade high pressure pex kits, but the cost for one of those plus all the extra fittings I needed was insane! My shop is a bit of a cluster right now as well!! I plan to change that!
You sure did!! I was there back in 2013!! You have a BEAUTIFUL country!! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lot's more to come!
Personally I would have made an inclosure for the compressor and used the flex hose to go through the walls and have rubber padding underneath to make it a bit quieter, since long exposures to the loud noises can make you irritated, and may cause damage to the hearing, but over all it is very well and good done job!!! And cant wait for the shop lay out.
I considered building an enclosure for it, but the problem with putting an air compressor in an enclosed space can be the fact that additional heat builds up much faster, and that's the enemy of all equipment, especially compressor pumps. When it kicks on to refill the tank, it only runs for like 2 minutes or so, and it's not very loud. You and I could easily have a normal conversation standing next to it while it's running! That's not to mention that the fact that I wouldn't be able to enjoy my custom paint job!
People make compressor enclosures because they buy crappy foreign compressors that are spun too quickly and make way too much noise. Buy a good industrial compressor like Saylor, Quincy, or Champion and you wont need to find ways to quiet it. The pumps are much heavier and have such a high output they can be spun at insanely low rpm and still meet your air requirements. I can barely hear my quincy 325 from my sidewalk with the garage door open. Salvage Workshops Saylor Beall is probably quieter than two people talking
@@robertvalente8217 These types of compressors even have more of a pleasant thump thump thump sound. I have several Quincy compressors, and a Champion that came used with a motor I wanted. This Saylor Beall is also a prized brand.
Me too!! That's part of the reason I put the compressor in such a prominent place in the shop, It's out of my way, but I can still enjoy how Bad A** it looks! As always, thanks for watching & commenting!
Nice job, I would install an exhaust hood with fan above the compressor, given the space where its located next to the pitched roof, looks like a spot where a lot of heat will generate. An exhaust fan to the outside will take heat away from the compressor and give it a longer life. You don't see many people use black iron pipe any more for compressors, they do tend to sweat and create condensation and collect water in the lower joints, unions and elbows even when the compressor isn't running. I did notice the inline water filter and also bleeder valve you installed on the bottom of the tank, a very good idea but unless you have a water separator on all your drops, you will continue to see water, this will ruin air tools and paint guns over time. While the black iron pipe is overkill, its looks like you went from 1-1/2''. 1-3/4, to 2'', used reducer nipples back down to 1/2'' npt ??? Whats the reason for this? Was this a plan or did you get the materials for free?
Not a bad thought, I do have plans to install a whole house fan on that wall of the shop to help deal with heat and other fumes, but it would also help the compressor as well! The cost of buying one of those high pressure pex airline kits plus the additional fittings was insane, and black pipe may be overkill, but it will outlast most any setup, plus the way i laid everything out, it will be easy to adjust. If you look at the last part of the video, you will see a water filter / separator at every drop for that very reason, tools are expensive! All the black pipe is 3/4" pipe then I reduced to 1/2" for the water filters, and then the air line quick connects I had were all 3/8". So the main reason was using what I had, but all of the supply is 3/4".
@@SalvageWorkshop That's all good and yes the pipe certainly should last 10 lifetimes, my apologies, I missed the part where you showed all drops. Good job indeed
No need for apologies!! I don't take offense to much of anything! You were just giving your thoughts, and I'm cool with that!! As always, thanks for watching & commenting!
Nice work. I have a huge 80 gallon Kellog American to restore. It runs and works but I would like to rebuild it soon before it quits in the middle of a project. Will have to look into the hydraulic pressurized tank test a little more and see if I can figure out what fitting you used to connect your pressure washer to the tank. Nice work.
Question of the video: What space saving ideas have you used in your garage or shop?
Hanging things always works. I noticed you use buckets and drums, those are the best. Any jars or cylinders make great storage.
If it can go on castors...do it
Salvage Workshop mostly added drawers and shelves in places that had the space. My default seems to be to pile stuff on my workbench until there is no room, then build shelves/drawers to hold all the stuff that used to be on the workbench. It’s a constant struggle!

Fabulous work on the air system for your shop. Totally jealous!
Nice job! I built a room for my compressor with a window a/c to keep it cool but mostly to dry out the air.
I repaired a compressor as well not quite as old mine was a champion from the 80s. They definitely don't make stuff like they used too. Love the paint job on your tank
That compressor is the best! You do magnificent work. Ya I think shop layout is important!
Thank you I truly appreciate it! I enjoy bringing old beasts back to life!! I have quite a few more massive projects planned, so stay tuned!
I'm soooooo jealous, that compressor looks awesome! I hope you get loads of use out of her 🙂👍👍👍👍
It turned out pretty nice!! Thank you! I will definitely put it to good use here at the shop!! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lot's more to come!
Did an awesome job rebuilding it. Color is great as well....
I appreciate that! I Enjoy the color as well!! Thanks for watching and commenting! Lot's more to come!
wow!...a lot of hard work right there!!!...great job....love to see the new shop layout!!!
Sir ... most excellent job on that ol' girl !!!
Great job of plumbing. Love the paint job.
That turned out awesome! Absolutely would love to see future shop upgrades.
Thank you!! I'm glad you'd enjoy watching the shop change, because its underway!!
The compressor series was pretty impressive you did a really nice job one day I hope my shop looks as good as that. I would love to see what you do with the rest of the place because me inspiration and ideas.
I truly appreciate that!! Until I recently started shooting these videos, I didn't realize people would actually enjoy watching me do the things I do out in the shop!! Thank you for the feedback, it helps a lot!
Looking forward to all of your future videos.
Wonderful! Thanks for the support!
Keep it up and..high with your amazing ideas and projects! Anxious to see more!!!
Awesome! I'm glad you are enjoying them!! As always, thanks for watching & commenting! Lot's more to come!
Like tha old skool bomber look on main tank bud it blew my mind I knew it would work again lol needed some tlc from the right hands 👍
You know you are working too hard when even your tripod gets tired. :) Very cool shop setup. Eventually I hope to have somewhere I could so something like that. For now I will try and enjoy my existing garage and enjoy yours as well. :)
LOL.. ya that was a long day, and apparently I had more energy that the tripod that day! My shop didn't start out looking the way it does now, so dont worry, just keep at it, and dont be afraid to take an educated risk or 2!! I have taken more than I can count, and it's allowed Salvage Workshop to grow into what it is today! My latest video is a tour of the shop before a bunch of changes if you'd like to take a look! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Hi!
I have started binging your videos, and thoroughly enjoy your content :D This compressor series was really nice. I must say I am impressed with the order you have your stuff in. I always thought drawers is where stuff goes to die, but you have given me some inspiration.
Looking forward to seeing more of the skid steer.
Cheers.
Would be great to see a video of the shop reorganisation, air system looks great with a lot of forethought to future needs
I definitely tried to think of every need I might have for air in the shop... I'm the kind of person that likes to do things ALL the way ONCE if time & money allow, because the chances of going back and changing things in the near future is extremely low (unless I mess something up lol). I'm glad you'd be interested in watching the shop change, lots to come!
Great job!! Hard fought and well won !!
Lol... Heck ya!!!
Gorgeous !!! I had high hopes to see another fighter plane design on the add on tank. Great job.
That is an awesome compressor. You did it justice.
As an electrician, my only complaint was that panel. Made me want to come and redo the panel.
totally agree! Other than adding a few breakers for certain things, that panel has been that way since Ive owned the property I I actually have a need to upgrade the panel... Here's the situation:I am considering trading some construction work for a VERY nice Lincoln Power Wave welder with wire feeder. This will give me actual mig & tig, with the option for pulse welding, but the problem is that this unit needs a dedicated 125 Amp breaker, but I only have a 100 amp panel in the shop. The main building has a 200 amp panel that feeds the shop's 100 amp panel approx 150 feet away with 2awg / gauge wire (I'm pretty sure)... My question: Can I upgrade the panel to a 150 amp or even 200 amp panel without needing to change anything in the main building other than the breaker? Also is the wiring able to handle the increased load without needing to be upgraded to a larger size wire? I would REALLY like to upgrade to this welder, but I don't want to do it unsafely either! Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
@@SalvageWorkshop You could probably do 150 amp if your main is 200 amp. I wouldn't try and go 200 amp without upgrading your main to more. If it was me, I'd up my main to 300 amp, and then up the sub panel to 200. 150 amp will have issues, if your running the welder and it's really pulling 125 amps and the compressor comes on that should trip the breaker. I don't believe the welder will pull 125 amps, I can see 60 amps. Would need to see nameplate or to know the model # to know for sure.
As for the wire, yes you would need a bigger wire, 200 amp would be a #2/0 AWG while 150 is a #1 AWG. You could run it in Aluminum wire. Can get a triplex direct bury service entry wire. Normally runs about $1 a foot. As for the wire to the main, if that is your service feed, it might be able to go to 300 amp without needing to upgrade it.
If your not wanting to up the main, can put a load on it (most everything that will run at once) and use a amp clamp to check how much amps are being pulled.
Great series and good job of freeing up floor space.
Much appreciated! That's exactly why it went up... Floor Space!!
It was a great series, and yes I like to see the new shop layout.
Much appreciated!! Thanks for the feedback, glad you'd be interested in watching!
Very interested in watching the changes you make to your shop
Awesome!! Thanks for letting me know!!
Love how you actually reply to all of us and its not some form replay , its different for everyone. Hope you can keep that up as your channel grows.
@@whocares6698 It's not always immediate, but I appreciate that you watch, comment, and support Salvage workshop, so it's the lease I can do! I will try my best to keep it up as the channel grows, I enjoy interacting with everyone! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Oh the joy of moving heavy things by yourself 😁
I've pent the last few weeks reorganising the shed to accomodate some new equipment so I guess it wont hurt me to see someone else doing it 😏
LOL... Yes it can be difficult, but it's awesome when people tell me there's no way to move something, and then I figure out a way to do it! Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
sometimes you just gotta go all Egyptian on things 😁
well done !!! bring on more videos I have enjoyed everthing you have done to date cheers
Would love to see videos of a shop restoration.
Perfect!! Glad to know you'd watch!
Yes I would like to see the changes. It might give me ideas on my own small shop. Thank you great videos.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
Big project and some very ingenious solutions to install this monster.
Much appreciated!! definitely one of those solutions driven by a problem, and my problem was lack of free floor space! As always, thanks for watching & commenting!
Love to see a fine piece of machinery put back in service. Also how you plan ahead for future drops and you can didn't cut corners.
I THOUGHT about cutting corners SOOO many times, but I am a firm believer in doing something right the first time if time and money allow, because the chances of changing things in the near future are slim, so I'd rather put the work in up front! I also enjoy watching machinery being brought back to life just as much as I like doing it! As always, thanks for watching & commenting!
Yes I would like to see a shop update. I did notice you didn't use any gasket seal did you not need to.
No gasket seal needed when using brand new gaskets!
Awesome attention to detail and determination
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad to see that you didn't cheap out and use PVC. Doing the job right the first time will pay off down the road. Always like to see other ideas on how a shop should be set up. It will for sure be better than my clusterfu** . lol
I totally agree! The only other thing I considered is one of those premade high pressure pex kits, but the cost for one of those plus all the extra fittings I needed was insane! My shop is a bit of a cluster right now as well!! I plan to change that!
I'd love to see you change your shop around.
Ok then!
I saw an argentinian flag back there, nice work!! greetings from Argentina!!!
You sure did!! I was there back in 2013!! You have a BEAUTIFUL country!! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lot's more to come!
Very creative project. Thumbs up!!!!
It is a good feeling when things start like they are supposed to... especially 12 feet in the air!
Lol... ain't that the truth!!
Personally I would have made an inclosure for the compressor and used the flex hose to go through the walls and have rubber padding underneath to make it a bit quieter, since long exposures to the loud noises can make you irritated, and may cause damage to the hearing, but over all it is very well and good done job!!! And cant wait for the shop lay out.
I considered building an enclosure for it, but the problem with putting an air compressor in an enclosed space can be the fact that additional heat builds up much faster, and that's the enemy of all equipment, especially compressor pumps. When it kicks on to refill the tank, it only runs for like 2 minutes or so, and it's not very loud. You and I could easily have a normal conversation standing next to it while it's running! That's not to mention that the fact that I wouldn't be able to enjoy my custom paint job!
People make compressor enclosures because they buy crappy foreign compressors that are spun too quickly and make way too much noise. Buy a good industrial compressor like Saylor, Quincy, or Champion and you wont need to find ways to quiet it. The pumps are much heavier and have such a high output they can be spun at insanely low rpm and still meet your air requirements. I can barely hear my quincy 325 from my sidewalk with the garage door open. Salvage Workshops Saylor Beall is probably quieter than two people talking
@@robertvalente8217
These types of compressors even have more of a pleasant thump thump thump sound.
I have several Quincy compressors, and a Champion that came used with a motor I wanted.
This Saylor Beall is also a prized brand.
great job, extreme patience 11/10
I'm still loving the paint job! 👍
Me too!! That's part of the reason I put the compressor in such a prominent place in the shop, It's out of my way, but I can still enjoy how Bad A** it looks! As always, thanks for watching & commenting!
Just discovered this episode. Fantastic!!
Heck yeah lets see all you do for the shop!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!!
Great. Regards from Germany. Have seen all parts till here.
Would like to to see the shop upgrades
Great!! I'm glad to hear you'd be willing to watch!! Thanks for the feedback!
@@SalvageWorkshop Ditto. I want to see more.
Great job awesome series. You should do a series on the shop changes
That's not a bad idea! Thanks for the feedback!! I appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Thank you!! I truly appreciate it!
Nice job, I would install an exhaust hood with fan above the compressor, given the space where its located next to the pitched roof, looks like a spot where a lot of heat will generate. An exhaust fan to the outside will take heat away from the compressor and give it a longer life. You don't see many people use black iron pipe any more for compressors, they do tend to sweat and create condensation and collect water in the lower joints, unions and elbows even when the compressor isn't running. I did notice the inline water filter and also bleeder valve you installed on the bottom of the tank, a very good idea but unless you have a water separator on all your drops, you will continue to see water, this will ruin air tools and paint guns over time. While the black iron pipe is overkill, its looks like you went from 1-1/2''. 1-3/4, to 2'', used reducer nipples back down to 1/2'' npt ??? Whats the reason for this? Was this a plan or did you get the materials for free?
Not a bad thought, I do have plans to install a whole house fan on that wall of the shop to help deal with heat and other fumes, but it would also help the compressor as well! The cost of buying one of those high pressure pex airline kits plus the additional fittings was insane, and black pipe may be overkill, but it will outlast most any setup, plus the way i laid everything out, it will be easy to adjust. If you look at the last part of the video, you will see a water filter / separator at every drop for that very reason, tools are expensive! All the black pipe is 3/4" pipe then I reduced to 1/2" for the water filters, and then the air line quick connects I had were all 3/8". So the main reason was using what I had, but all of the supply is 3/4".
@@SalvageWorkshop That's all good and yes the pipe certainly should last 10 lifetimes, my apologies, I missed the part where you showed all drops. Good job indeed
No need for apologies!! I don't take offense to much of anything! You were just giving your thoughts, and I'm cool with that!! As always, thanks for watching & commenting!
nice job ! next video-compressor oil change adventures :)
Well done. You're a fine mechanic. I knew I liked you when I noticed you not wearing latex gloves.......
Great space saving management. Time to get rid of some junk! lol
What junk?!? I don't see any junk! lol
Nice work. I have a huge 80 gallon Kellog American to restore. It runs and works but I would like to rebuild it soon before it quits in the middle of a project. Will have to look into the hydraulic pressurized tank test a little more and see if I can figure out what fitting you used to connect your pressure washer to the tank. Nice work.
Amazing series 👍
Grtz from Belgium (europe) ✌️
Love all the series
Thank you!! I truly appreciate it!
keep on going, I enjoyed every one of them
Great video, keep em coming. And yes shop videos are awesome!
I am glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate that!
Enjoy the video. Was wondering the weight of the compressor on a shelf. Would enjoy shop layout videos in the future. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome job on this project.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Lot's more to come!
