I saw a mobile assembly table with a compressor on board i a magazines lately which lead me to my next project.
I have an old twin canister wheel barrel style compressor which is heavy and simply a pain to move around. I want to mount it into a mobile cabinet with an assembly table top. I was thinking about a 2x4 bottom frame for strength to hold the load. With the compressor in the center, I am looking at shelves on one end and a recessed pegboard on the other. I know that the foot print would only be around 2' x 4' or so and so would only be used for smaller projects.
My real question/concern is air flow to the compressor. I originally thought I would use lattice to enclose it. But could I use solid panels (maybe even insulated) to lower the noise level. Can I just cut a couple air passages and at what size? What other problems am I over looking?
Thanks
