hey bud, what size tank are you running? what brand and how does it do with your air tools?

@jettastreetracer

I have a 2cyl single stage Cambel Hausfield 6.5 hp on a 60 gal vertical tank I bought at Lowes about 12 years ago. I runs everything pretty well except for a DA sander. You will want a 2 stage compressor for that.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the steel to form the way I want it to. Any suggestions on training videos or how I can learn to use this tool?

Check out youtube member lazzemetalshaping he is a pro and has alot of very helpful vids. He actually runs a metal-shaping school.

do you plan to show them in action? If so, I'll wait to run out and buy. Lots of work to do on my '62 austin healey. Good video. Hope you post more on your efforts with these two.

It was on clearance for $25.

i agree, that air cleaner you're talking about would look nice. and different, which is always nice.
