I saw this pic in a magazine...

I wanted a dedicated place to finally put my compressor in the shop...
- while allowing it to be removed quickly to use away from the shop
- without taking up valuable floor space in my small shop
- with an attached 5 gallon tank
- with a connection to a retractable air hose reel
- without screwing anything directly to the ceiling (to avoid puncturing the roof shingles, and inviting leaks)
- and with a copper pipe manifold that has connections before and after an air filter
I ended up with all of these, and more.
