Home brew dryer kicks but man!!! I have seen them before and thought damn beats $1K . I have a tank and some fitting so might have to pick your brain in bit on setting one up for my new 2 stage compressor, if you would not mind.

go for it, key is to cool the air before getting to the big tank
That's awesome I got a couple condensers kicking around
Might grab a condenser when I go out to a yard next week for some parts hopefully.
I had to walk away from this today in frustration. Several things I didn't think about. I think they are fixable but not sure how yet.
1. The wheels spin to fast as there is 0 resistance on them so they un coil themselves faster than you can.
2. Having 2 leads on 1 reel with the "fairlead" I made does not work out. If you go to use one the other just un spools on the ground and makes a mess, then when trying to re spool the get crossed up and tangled. Frusterated by this I walked away, but still managed to get a pic
I also added a drop for that little bit of extra condemnation that may pass through. So far no water in it.

#1.. Tighten the wheel bearing?
#2.. Wind the cords in opposite directions?
tighten the bearing I thought of afterwards, the cord in opposite directions just may work, hadn't though of that.
No, it truly does not. The next big purchase or possibly lease, will be a 6k to 8k cap. fork lift. I will more then likely be buying a CNC lathe in the future as well. Because Regular shop tools just arn't enough these days, jeez lol! Even cancer hasn't stopped me from spending money on my toys lol!
My next big purchase will be a new shop lol, I'm about out of space here. We are moving in 4 years time. Its on the calendar and the clock is ticking. We said we are moving one more time so buy or build the house we want and the shop I want. Ive been looking at a minumim of 40x80 but hopefully having enough saved to go 50x100.
Damn that is a shop you want!!!!! Wish closer could use your skills from time to time and always dig your ideas there.
Looking to buy/build on a main road so I can the 3 phase in my "new" shop 
I want to be on the beaten path with my next house/shop. I live 2 miles outside city limits and feel like people are to close, guess i need my space. What area you looking to buy and doing VA or NC?
I dream of an insulated, rural shop that I can grind steel at 3 a.m and nobody give's a flock....
now where talking! I would be happy with 60x40 or 60x60 with 2 post lift.
thats why i like where i live neighbor on one side wife works 2nd shift he's on a breathing machine for sleep apnea cant here anything the other neighbor does frame straightening at all hours of the day and night been down there helping him get a job done at 1am across the road is a swmill that was running 24/7 until last year so here noise isnt a issue also ems down the road about 1/2 mile
we currently own in prince george, va and not planning on leaving here.
I'm building a guest bedroom/ apt in my new shop.
I have been grinding at 2 am with garage doors open music on and no one even noticed. I asked
