Elgin Air Compressor Setup

Got my air compressor setup. Made a couple wood blocks with a 1 inch hole cut in half to mount the gear:
 Mounted the filter and oiler. I put in a split before the oiler for ‘clean’ air the tools that require oil will be attached after the oiler.
Here it is all ready to go. I installed male connectors to both oiler and clean air outputs. Spool is hooked up to the clean air and I have a hose read for the oiler side.

Got the first 4 inch pipe run. I am not going to show every run here, just the core run. You will see other runs in future posts.
I am using 4 inch sewer pipe, it is thick enough for what I am doing and much cheaper that regular 4 inch PVC.
I used 2 small sheet metal screws to help hold everything together. I did not glue everything together, I want to be able to take everything apart if I need to.
