billiard. if you have 220 connection for a dryer, say, in your basement you could simply unplug the dryer when you want to blast and run the air through galvanized pipe to the shop. just an idea.

Just throwing this out there, Bill you obviously don't need that compressor Premal posted to get a decent blast. Im pretty sure Adam Davidson uses a 30 gallon single phase 110V compressor, and his blasts are pretty wicked. I may be wrong but that's what I gathered from his IG feed.

Some laws are ridiculous

Bill, I think you might have a little bit more leniency in the electrical department than you think. I'll check tomorrow. You forget, I work for a city on the other side of the state! Anyway, it's easy to fire up 220. I did that in my garage for my saw and other heavy wood working tools (jointers, planers and such). Anyway, I'll try and remember to ask our inspectors tomorrow.

Can you build yourself a little shed next to the house for the compressor and then just run a long a air line to the shop?

Don't ya just love it?? I bet they make a lot of money off permits down at the county/city office

No doubt, Everything is legal here so long as you pay up. Even the HOV lanes on the highway you can drive in solo - so long as you buy a pass!

Thanks both, but the only electric box and 220 is in the center of the house and can't stick a compressor there. By the time I ran the 220 outside and built a shed for it I might as well go the little extra difference and run it to the shop.

Maybe so, I haven't a clue what Adam uses, but most of the pro's say time and again that the bigger the compressor the better and more CFM is better. So I'd rather delay and get the correct set up than hurry and get something I will be trying to change in a year or two.

I'd appreciate it, thank you.

I appreciate everyone's thoughts, I'll get there eventually

and Yeti, sorry about your thread!

Hi, I'm new here and just started browsing the site. Have made a few knives,silver jewelry and other things. I acquired a Harbor Frieght cabinet and use a contractor's compressor with great success.
