That's my kind of storage.

Well done.

nice work.

Do you have an auto drain valve on that compressor?

Ice forming in the bottom of the tank in the winter maybe an issue.

Sure is nice to get that noise out of the shop - I've been considering similar ideas - move it out under the lean to- or build a room around it.

That's a pretty slick idea! I was going to scam some from work to use as moving container for parts I want to bring out to PA.

Good job dude, home built storage is the best! Wish I had room to get the compressor out of the garage ...

I considered that sort of thing but my compressor sits in an otherwise unusable corner beside one of the front doors. Still, it would be great to get the noise out of the shop. I still need to build a lean-to off the back to get fuel-containing stuff out of the main building. I even have most of the materials. Some day.......

Dan - I plan on building a sound box around my compressor - 4x8 sheets of foam board or fiberglass battes hanging from the roof to surround the compressor - just an idea, may not work at all - but if it does appreciably reduce the noise - I'll let you know so you can duplicate.

Cool.

All T111 warps, liberal use of construction adhesive and some bar/pipe clamps will put the smackdown on that warpage!

Having spent my highschool years working in a grocery, I have a soft spot for milkcrates. Restocking the dairy case was the best time killer, most enjoyable part of the job.

I gotta ask, what's taking place of milkcrates? I can see where a change is coming, as all grocery stores are stocked from within the cooler with rolling rack/carts. Is this the replacement?

Great idea. It always helps to get the noise out of the shop. Great use for old milk crates, too.

My buddy and I built a storage room in the corner of his shop for his compressor and a few other things. It's great being able to close the door and drown out that compressor noise. His shop is 36' x 48' though, so there's plenty of room for that sort of thing.
