My "free" compressor. Warehouse manager wanted it tossed due to it poping circuit breakers. Hmmm 24 amp 115v motor breaking 15 amp 110 service. Gotta be the compressor LOL.

Lets start by making a mobile base for the compressor so I can easily move it from my limited work area. I scored 12.5 foot of 2" x 3" 11 gauge steel for the project. Got a deal on this "drop" peice.

Got the sections marked and ready to cut with my Harbor Freight "porta band" saw. This saw really rocks! I am using this to cut just about everything now.

Close up of foot mounting hole marking. I use a black arrow to point out the location of the hole. The center to center of the compressor feet are at 24". This will leave me with about a foot on either end.
