Sweet!, Did anyone ever wonder whos brainy idea it was to only put three freakin' legs on these monsters?!!! They are just SO much fun to try to maneuver into position if you are working on anything other than a flat concrete floor.

Got a new 3 ton floor jack to go with my other leaking one. Pretty bad when you always have one in use and need another one. Too many projects? Also got a sawsall since I can't spell reciprocating as I used it to cut off old tires from wheels. Perfect outdoor weather today for outside work, so I'm constructing six units of steel shelving for the shop.

Merry Christmas everyone. Next year is going to be better (it can't be any worse)

In Spain there is more tradition of the Magi than of Santa ... Today was the day of the Magi, I, I will have been a good boy because they have given me things that I like a lot! :D :D :D The soft top, a box of ammunition, fire extinguisher and a folder to carry the documents of the Mutt (when you have them) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anarchy99 - Nice compressor. My first shop compressor was and is still that model. Had it for 10 years and kept the maintenance up. Just once the capacitor that starts the motor gave up. I found one online to replace it. The metal tube that goes from the compressor head to the tank broke once due to vibrations. Went out to IR online and had a new one in 4 days.

When I got a blasting cabinet the IR compressor was having a hard time keeping up. So, I got a Champion compressor that doesn't even break a sweat. It lives outside in a compressor shack. Talk about having three legs, this one is horizontal and weighs a ton. To move it from where the delivery guy put it off of his hydraulic lift, it was like moving one of the blocks for the pyramids.

Its definitely leaps and bounds better than my old compressor. At some point I'll build a huge shop, then I'm going to upgrade compressors again. This will keep me going for awhile though. Also, I upgraded to a much larger blast cabinet... so much easier and less dust and mess.
