DavidR8's shop shenanigans

[DavidR8]

Popped in to see @DavidR8 today to borrow his bottle of pipe thread sealant. Got a tour of his new little add on shed for compressor and sawdust system. Very very nice.
And then all the 3D printed drawer organizers. Makes my drawers look like a bomb hit it. The gridwork behind all his organizer trays reminded me of a wall system and also an under desk and table system for keeping wires under control.

The You Tuber is a British woman who actually appears to know what she's talking about aside from the fact that she's also nice to look at.

And some people complain about desk jobs Sheesh!

This is that one for organizing under the desk. All the wires and cables.

.....if I get caught watching videos with a good looking lady on her hands and knees under a desk, there's a pretty good chance I will only own half a computer moving forward....

So you've checked the video and acknowledge that she's a good looking lady.

Quick update. @DavidR8 loaned me his bottle of pipe dope. No leaks! Pressure transducer showing 109 PSI. Thank you David.

Finished the air cooler installation.
Pretty astonishing results.

After filling the tank from empty, my infrared thermometer measured 248 F at the head outlet and at the bottom outlet of the cooler it read 72 F.
Approximately a teaspoon of water came out of the air/water separator.
Darn pleased with that result.

David do you recall what type of fitting was required to hook the 3/8 copper to the compressor and compressor tank?
So far I gathered everything but the compression fittings.

Honestly, they are just standard compression fittings but it seems every compressor is different.
Mine has a tapped hole and then a compression fitting is used to reduce to 3/8 NPT.

I have the same sanbourn compressor. Are the thread 3/8 npt? do you recall?

Ah gotcha, I'm very sure the connection at the compressor head was 3/8 NPT.

-synthetic underlayment, Malarkey Highlander shingles or (similar) 4 roof vents
-4 panel aluminum vented soffit (white or black), continuous K-style gutter with down spouts (x 2)

Probably a "duh" question but do you have internet in the shop? We just rewired the house with Cat6 and I have some left if you need to upgrade.

Funny you should mention that actually. The cable line runs right over the garage and has to be moved eventually. Shaw says they can run it into the attic of the shop and then to the house.
I’m thinking about running a Cat5 or Cat6 cable to the garage as my wifi booster is pretty marginal.
How much do you have?

 

[Susquatch]

We just rewired the house with Cat6

I wired my whole house with
Cat6 when we bought it too. It was a waste of time for us. Our internet service is so slow that WiFi kicks its ass. Mesh leaves everything except my file server in the rear view mirror.

 

[YotaBota]

I'll double check but I think there's about 400' left in the box.

We (OH) bought a new router, two Access Points and we installed a new comms box and patch panel.

When you say WIFI are you referring to cell.

Well if you’re offering I’ll likely take you up on it.
I’m likely going to run new power to the shop as there’s only 40A service now and I’d like to have 60A. Adding a heat pump so that’s an additional draw that I don’t have now.
While I’m at it I might as well run Ethernet cable too.
