The topic of plumbing air lines was discussed for the past 2 weeks on
the shop talk mail list. Out of it all, the best comments I saw came
from Dan Masters just over the weekend. One piece I did save from the
shop talk list is attached - I thought it was interesting enough that I
would follow through when I got my shop built.
If shop talk is being archived, those interested may want to check out
the thread.
A website was also mentioned that had a diagram on plumbing a shop. I
think it was TIP Tools who had it, but I can't seem to find my bookmark
just yet.
