[TheForge] compressor comments and/or suggestions

[Steve Smith]

Terry, you'll get more cfm air with a two stage compressor. Here is an 
example:

I don't know anything about the unit, just an example.

Sorry if you've already said, but what are you going to use your air 
for? How many cfm at what pressure do your tools need?
