Re: Ed's Shop Build Thread
The first upgrade the shop received was 2 new storage shelves. Each shelf is 48"x18"x72". I decided on 18" deep shelves since my 5 gallon containers are only ~16" inches deep. I figured going with 24" shelves would waste precious space.

Not pictured on the right is my Husky workbench, and tool box top.
I've got a big upgrade coming in ~2 weeks. :)
Re: Ed's Shop Build Thread
This is great Ed, I love seeing the process and build up of projects, whether a bathroom remodel, car restoration or a shop build. I’ll be following this with great interest! Looks like a nice work space and plenty of room to work with.
Re: Ed's Shop Build Thread

Re: Ed's Shop Build Thread
Thanks guys! Sorry I didn't reply earlier this week has been crazy busy. Grateful to be really busy but man I'm exhausted.
I finally upgraded my bottles and switched to Tolco 320CRs sprayers with 32oz containers. I was previously using the Home Depot HDX spray bottles and while they worked pretty good, I was burning through 1 or two a month. The Tolcos require less pressure to squeeze, and have a more even and finer spray pattern. The only con they seem to have against the HDX spray bottles is that they can't spray upside down.

I like the lack of branding on them as it makes them look more professional. Don't mind my chicken scratch.

And the cord on my gg6 finally failed. I ended up calling Griots and decided to take advantage of their buy back program to trade it in for credit towards a G9. I've been wanting a faster DA for awhile now and figured now would be a good time. Eventually I want to get a long throw but the budget isn't there yet so this is good enough.

And the big upgrade came in sooner than expected!

It's a Quincy QT-54 5hp 60 gallon compressor (2V41C60VC). I settled on the Quincy because it has a low RPM pump (1310 rpm) and a 100% duty cycle. It also operates at 75db which is a huge pro for me as I can't have it deafening loud inside the shop. I'm going to build an intake silencer to hopefully drop it a few more decibels. I'm also going to order the anti vibration pads for it.
Initially I was leaning towards an Eaton compressor but after finding out the Quincy was $500 less, the pump isn't a knock off, and it operates 3db quieter than the Eaton (which already had an intake silencer installed) it was a no brainer.

Took it off the pallet. Can't hook it up Sunday, but I won't have a regulator to put on in till Tuesday.

Re: Ed's Shop Build Thread
Looks great Ed? What are you planning for the floor?
Re: Ed's Shop Build Thread
I accidentally disliked the second post :(. I like it and look forward to future shop updates!
Re: Ed's Shop Build Thread
Awesome! :props:
I like it - I dig the styling too, very cool indeed. I look forward to following along & seeing your shop progress. Pleased to read that you’re busy. :buffing:
I’d be hoping that is an excessive amount of snow foam outside but I get a shivery feeling that it isn’t.
Thanks for sharing.
