Others DIY CNC Air Fill Station

[Billm]

A little windy today so I decided to build an Air Fill Staion. A convenient and compact place to store my GX CS4 compressor and cleaning supplies etc. . It has cutouts for easy access to the gauge/cut-off setting and the 12v cables. I’ve included a cradle to hold the rifle being filled. There will be a top shelf that holds two Kobalt or HF mini toolboxes to hold supplies and lower shelves for other items. I need to cut the top shelf and stain/finish it.

sweet!

That looks very useful, can’t wait to see it finished .

Great work Bill! It will look like a proper piece of furniture instead of a science project.

 

[Billm]

Hopefully it lives up to my vision lol. That’s not always the case.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda! When you glue your project together without a proper dry run first lol. I should’ve made the second shelf a half shelf as well. Then my pistol grips wouldn’t hit the shelf when placed in the cradle lmbo. Or maybe I should’ve went with a sliding height cradle like I originally planned. It’ll be easily fixed, but so much easier on the CNC router with a little more forethought. It’s real obvious with hindsight.

I’m more of the “I do it right because I do it twice” kind of person lol.

Me too, sometimes I like to hit it three four times, just to make sure. I think I’ve resolved it.

That's really cool brother!

Well, I’m on “measure once, cut five at least”. I made quite a few mistakes, but it’s utilitarian and so I will act like I don’t care.

Looks great man and plenty of room for everything, only thing missing is locking wheels to move it around. You'll probably have it set up in the same spot anyway. Superb!

The plan was to put some locking wheels on it. I waited until the last hour of the Harbor Freight parking lot sale on Sunday to pickup their locking wheels on sale. They only had two left. I will add some though. It needs to be mobile, it’s going next to a bench I built that is on wheels.
