Yes I did Bill, I can't help it.

When there's a mud hole to be repaired i've just got to grab a shovel and fill it.Wink

Anytime the game clock was stopped I ran to the bench, those minutes add up buddy.

Gee Tony I need to check this more often I didn't notice that on Monday you're already about 2/3rds done with assembly!

That's some super nice detail there.

DML limber is OK but Bronco's has it beat, it's good enough to use it so it's not that bad.

I wonder how i have missed this? Its looking great Tony sorry to hear about your compressor but it sounds like you have it replaced now. I too use a cheap HF compressor next one I get i'm gonna take a closer look at before i buy it doesn't have a drain on the bottom of the tank so water just sits in it so if yours is designed like the one I got I would invest in a second moisture trap somewhere close to the gun itself

Clint I notice the drain missing.

I got one without a tank and use a long hose for air storage and pulse management. Water trap on the compressor and another at the gun. Together, all is right with the world.Yes

Thanks for showing up at the party

Gee Tony too bad your compressor died I've had mine for 20 years and it still is going strong I still will need to get a moisture trap for it but it hasn't caused me any problems.

You would definitely need a steady hand Tony to do those dials plus a good optivisor as well.
