[QUOTE="tinman, post: 6666148, member: 11821"] Bring the air line down, burying it in concrete is going to be a right pain in the ass if it ever leaked, plus the fact you can add on a drop leg at any time when its above you if you want to rearrange things. stick in a retractable reel in one or two places thats well situated. on top of that you'd really want to mount it at a slope so as to have a leg on the low side (closest to compressor) for draining the condensation out of the pipe now and again. hunt about eBay and pick up a quality secondhand Norgren filtering system or the likes, it will make a good job of filtering the biggest end of the water out, fit it 4-6 foot away from the outlet on the compressor. As for a bench, i made frames out of 4" angle iron here years ago for a bench, up the wall to the right height, turn it out the depth of the bench you want to have, turn a leg back down to the floor on an angle and turn it back along the floor about 10-12" into the wall leg, kinda like a triangle but with the 10-12" along the floor. make a few of them across the lth of the bench you want and bolt them to the poured wall. i infilled the spaces between them with more 4" angle front and back and a few tie straps to support the timber between them, i used four 6x3's of imported timber for the top of the bench or you could use a good thick bit of steel but the timber is cheaper, sheet it with some 5 or 6mm if you like after, if it ever got rough of itself its cheap to change it out for a new piece. get it folded so it comes down the 3" of timber at the front for a Mc Coy job if you so like. seriously strong bench i may add, overkill even, but do it once do it right i say.
