    Air compressor build in progress

    I traded for this compressor and a tank a few years ago
    rather than disassemble the compressor pack I just decided to weld it to the top plate on the tank.
    so last week I finally got around to ordering the necessary parts to complete it.
    things like the check valve the pressure switch and relief valve the gage and a few other things so maybe this week I can get it going

    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    well at long last I finally got around to finishing up my air compressor build the final piece required re bending a work hardened 3/4" copper line
    the compressor is under powered with the motor that is on the unit but it was already mounted with the compressor head when I got it
    I haven't installed piping in my shop yet so no need to run the compressor as of yet I only plugged it in long enough to make sure it will pump air but not long enough to allow it to fully build up a tank full of pressure as the oil in the compressor needs changing
