Love the new compressor and after a week I can recommend it. Quieter than my dust collection, and other than putting on the wheels and two rubber feet it was just plug-and-play. I've put it to use many times and with the 20 gallon reciever it doesn't kick on as often as the little pancake compressor it replaced.

Kevin, were you able to import the Sissoo Rosewood? I know it's on the CITES list and not supposed to cross international boarders, even as part of an object like a musical instrument or even a pen. That's a beautiful block. https://www.wood-database.com/sissoo/

Thank you, it is very beautiful. I took a while to get here through regular shipping so I can assume it went through quarantine.

As soon as my current pancake compressor dies, this will be a great replacement option. Thanks for posting.

It was most likely a plantation grown certified block with all the proper documentation. That's about the only way to get any of the dalbergia species today unless it's very old stock brought in prior to the CITES action. Way to go!!!

New ultra quiet (NOT a scroll as I thought) compressor came today. I ordered this a couple months ago before the whole Corona mess started so I was excited it finally shipped. "between 3 pm, and 7 pm" they said. 10 pm the doorbell rings but at least I finally received it. (no pun intended) 2 hp, with 20 gal receiver.

I just learned that my local Lowe's sells these and offers free delivery. Ummmh.

Mine arrived yesterday evening and I set it up this morning. Love how quiet is it. A great product made in the USA.
 
My handy dandy airbrush and accoutrements were supposed to arrive Monday. I heard something on the porch at 7:15 this morning (Saturday) and was curious so I checked it out. The carrier had left a small box on the porch but was getting into her ride with a larger box. She saw me and came back. She said that she noticed that I had to sign for the larger box and she didn't want to wake me up so she was planning on returning later. I got airbrush from Joe Fleming at airbrushingwood.com.
