I thinks it’s great,,I just had a thought,,I put my nail guns in a nice cab i just built, but my air compressor is across the room on the floor..hmmmm,,, I’ll have to build one like yours..saw 3/4” ply on sale at HD for 23.00 bucks a 4×8 sheet..

Wooddude:
This is an interesting project; one I’m wrestling with too. I have had a Porter Cable combo for about a year and want to get it off the floor. 2 questions that I have.
1. My PC requires that I open a valve on the bottom to let out excess air and moisture when not using it for a bit. If you have to do that with your Bostich does that present any problems?
2. My PC dances quite abit on the floor. Is vibration an issue for this build?
Thanks

Wonderful idea. I would like something like this too. All my nailers and other air tools are stored in suitcases all over the place. This looks like a great way to organize them, not to mention having them handy for instant use. Thanks for posting this.

“My wife came to the rescue at Christmas that year. She had undoubtedly heard enough of my debate to determine that bostich was in the lead, and man was I happy when I opened this present!”

It WORKED!!!

My wife … quite possibly … got a thorough education in contractor’s table saws, over the last couple of months, but … never quite got the hint ;-)

Nice job!

Thanks for the comments. The plan is in the Nov ‘08 issue of The Family Handyman.
Gary, I said above that Rigid was the other competitor, but I remember now that it was actually Porter Cable. 1. My tank also has a drain valve on the bottom. Every now and then, I stand on something to reach the compressor, & blow it down a little with rag covering the drain line. One day, I plan on adding some plumbing to the drain line so that I can blow it down from the floor.
2. Mine is pretty steady when it runs. If it ever does start dancing around, I will likely just strap it down with some bungee cords.

Neil, its a dangerous game we play though when it comes to tools. What if she had come through with a $10 combo from the flea market!! It sounds like you were following the rules though by giving her a “thorough education”. Have you tried showing her the testimonial videos of the saw stop?
