Yeah, if I remember right, it wasn't back in the shop when you stopped by.

Also, that is a 'before' photo of me cleaning up the shop.  If you back 
out to the album, you will see a somewhat cleaner/more organized version 
that I'm working for.

Also, the compressor is a new addition.  I may be asking for some help 
soon on the design changes this new addition allows.  It is much larger 
than I was planning on getting, but the price was right.  It has a 15 HP 
motor on it, though the model is designed for a 20 HP motor.  With the 
larger motor on it, it can deliver 67 CFM @ 175psi.  Even with this one on 
it, it should be able to deliver in the 50 CMF range.

As far as powering it goes, I have an application in to get 3-phase power 
to my shop, and if I can get it installed before Jan 1 08, I can get a 
rate that will run me about $15 a month minimum, rather than a $220 a 
month minimum, and require a larger draw than I can manage.

Wish me luck guys.
