Re: New Compressor arrived today

I am thinking of doing something similar to this (found it at garage journal here)... 50 feet of 3/4" coiled copper. I will feed it at the top...have a T at the bottom with a drip/drain leg then off to the tools and shed out back. The coil will take up much less room than 50+ feet of copper along the walls...and I could mount a fan to blow on the coil if I so desired. Thoughts?

I made something similar but used a 10 gallon cooler. I can either use just cold water or add Ice to it. Works well and it was left over old homebrew equipment. Its portable too so I can use it outside to sandblast.
