Nodoze posted:That cash register is not big enough Totally agree with you. So this next part is slightly ridiculous and requires a bit of backstory. I support design and installation for major chemical plant equipment, so a large part of my job is pipe routing and specification. When the air compressor was installed, I thought how it might be neat to run a simple black iron header and build the takeoffs when required. This obviously sperg'd out of control and now I have a compressed air system that cost me just as much as the compressor did. It's also only half constructed in my mind, and still needs some actual pipe support, but that will get in the way of my next project so I'm holding off on it for now. It starts at the compressor:  I put in a 1/2" flexible hose section, which will eventually mate to a 1/2" in-line filter (hence the seemingly redundant gauge... it'll become a post-filter gauge). Next the 1/2" black iron pipe runs along the side wall behind the janky toolboxes, and tees into a vertical section:  The lower vertical is a ball valve drain, and the upper vertical runs to the main header. Condensation from the gently sloping header will run to this vertical section, where it will trap in this main drain. The first takeoff occurs right at the beginning of the main header, where it up-and-overs to a 4' vertical with a block-off valve and a drain before the filter-regulator-oiler combo. This then runs through another flexible hose into the reel. Here's a close-up of the first takeoff, with the main drain conveniently located to the left:  The header then runs along the back wall until it caps:  The cap at the end is for a future header along the opposing side wall. The second takeoff up-and-overs somewhere around the middle of the back wall (behind the loving weird wall cabinet in the previous picture), and is functionally identical to the first:  The system holds air just fine, and there's very little pressure loss at the regulators. The main drain absolutely pisses water, and the drains at the regulators always blow dry air, so I'll count that as a victory. Sorry for the mess, but it's not staying that way for long... The next project is going to be demolishing those cabinets and building 30" deep hardwood ply cabinets with pre-made countertops along the entire length of the back wall. Should be about 18' worth of counter/cabinet space. Also, sheets are going up on the back wall with pegboard over top of them, and all that janky cabinet mess on the back wall is getting 86'd. The aforementioned roommate dabbles in carpentry and has already supplied me with a BOM. I'm buying the raw material this Saturday. As a little side project, I'm turning the all-too-familiar-by-now F20 motor into a coffee table. Here it is, surely up to no good with the Honda V4 and the battery tender:  Vagrants.

It's very important to have easy access to your main drain

You're both in luck! I think the only thing we'll be doing that weekend is making cabinets. Come get your poo poo done and give me alcohol.

Any reason you didn't turn the compressor to not have the air output sticking out. I wouldn't want to risk bumping it with something, having it break and all hell breaking loose.

So lets say someone wants you to work on their S2000 that's starting to let the knocks out. Would you run away screaming, or just quadruple your alcohol consumption for the week? Please don't hurt me

Yeah, I wanted adequate airflow so it was either that position or facing the wall. I'll probably put a 90 straight off the valve at some point, since that 180° hose bend looks poo poo. some texas redneck posted:So lets say someone wants you to work on their S2000 that's starting to let the knocks out.

Did some suspension and steering bits on Mister 2-slow the other day: Those of you on Snapchat may have gotten to see some air hammer shenanigans. Also, had a party a while back. Things may have gotten a bit out of hand... This weekend I'm finally buying all that wood for the cabinets. Last weekend had a surprise "Lets go wine tasting in Charlottesville!" from girlfriend, so all my plans get put on hold. There should be  ). One guess which make all six are.

Had a coworker bring a Miata in today for some axle seals:   Went pretty smoothly. We also did a tire rotation and oil change before he sells it. He just bought a pretty white 2.5RS which he may be bringing tomorrow with all the other Subarus. He brought some decent beer to drink while we were working. I'd never heard of it but it was pretty deliciously hoppy:  He also paid in Yuengling (good man). The state of the beer fridge:  Beer fridge is less sad.

Sup Richmond buddy? I have a turbo sw20 that needs a timing belt and clutch, which done together become a engine out job. I have my own tools and lots of beer. Or 1 bottle of hardywood gingerbread stout.

Dale's Pale Ale is just about my favorite beer in the whole wide world, and I'm green with envy with you Yanks who can just drop down to the local BevMore for a sixpack. If you can even get it here, it's well over USD 10 per can.

The gently caress? Aren't you in Denmark, aka Where All Swedes Go To Buy Cheap Beer? I can walk five minutes to my nearest Systembolaget and get Dales for 2 euros per can.

Slow is Fast posted:ARE YOU READY?????? Slow is Fast and Terrible Robot came by this morning. We replaced the rear trailing arm bushings and the front CV shafts on Terrible Robot's Lesbian Forester:   Terrible Robot and his buddy went to work on the CV shafts:  Slow is Fast reveled in the lack of rust and popped the trailing arms off in mere minutes. We hosed up some bushings with the air hammer:  Squint method of PPE:  Beer fridge is getting happier:  Slow is Fast leaves for Maine:  Thanks for the sticker, bud:  All in all a good two hours of bullshitting and car repair. AI goons are some cool people.

Thanks again for letting us come and dirty up your garage, been a while since I had that much fun working on a car, AI goons are awesome people.  I'm sure that won't be the last time you see the Forester sullying the lift, either.

Beer chat is fine by me. Just gives me ideas for the 100% of the time someone asks what kind to bring. The rest of the Subarus today were uneventful. They also conveniently forgot to bring beer. Beer fridge is angry.

Yes I left some stickers and no you can't have my behymen. Fawresterrrr   40 dollars to fix the one second pause in the driveline. Worth it. I need to do another set up here and weld the rings up into a press tool so I can not have to gently caress with sawzall/fire/air hammer to get the old ones out and can instead just bolt on a THING and impact the old bushes out.  Also if you find my leatherman please put it aside for me k thx. The dales pale was good too. THANK YOU FOR THE HOSPITALITY.

Whose trailing arm bushings look like a Brazilian gay pride parade? The TiC ones are just black.

drat I'm jealous. Also, keep that granite countertop around, stone countertops are great for doing hot work on like heating up parts to shrink-fit over the shaft you have stored next to the beer, soldering, etc.
