[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 2534838, member: 108777"] 60 gallon is a nice size, for work that does not require a lot of flow at mid ~ high pressures. Each pipe adds to the volume of your compressed gas. A 3/8 pipe will hold much less gas than a 2" pipe. Steel and copper are easy to mount, finished and done, basically little to no maintenance, (dry air, oilers at machines/tools). Easy to paint if you wish, or hide behind pull down storage, or wall cabinet, shelves. Copper or black pipe, black pipe was much less expensive last time I "needed" any. Grab a couple friends, rent a pipe cutter/threader, and do some work on their favorite rifles in exchange for their labor. Cook a good lunch and dinner for them and families. Like metals bind, some different metals create oxidation, use care when attaching different types of metals. I have a bit of a damaged spine, neck bones, and things I damaged when young and restless, (senseless). I do feel for you. Do what you can, and know when to stop, or take a break. If you are married, when sweetie comes out and tells you to take a break, listen to her. I am still learning, my head is hard though, calloused by finding many hard things to knock it against, repeatedly. [/QUOTE]
