    Compressor advice for a total noob

    Pop into Machine Mart. look at the compressors there. Then wait for the 'price crash' deals. They only sell PLC fittings, you only need normal flow ones on a nail gun as opposed to the high flow ones

    What size drill bit for octagonal Oak dowels.

    Did you draw bore the holes? Octagonal was used originally, as it is easier to get a square of timber and plane the edges off a few times. time wouldn't be spent making them completely round, as there would be quite a few used in a build.. Time is money!

    Electric/small/portable air compressor

    Firstly. DON'T blow yourself down with compressed air! the potential to introduce an embolism is very high. Before anyone jumps. I did it to myself years ago and without good medical intervention. I wouldn't be here now.

    Is a multi function workshop a flying submarine?

    You want things 'perfect' That is where you are going wrong. What you want the space to do. will always result in compromising somewhere. IE not 'perfect' for all of the applications. Once you get that into your head. you may be able to progress
