Thanks!  I was wondering if the VMS guys would ever get back around to 
talking about shop stuff... :-)

Harbor Freight had these on sale a while back and I nearly bought one.  Of 
course now I'm so cheap I'll have to wait for another sale... :-)

Is there an easy way to plumb in a pressure guage and then use that to 
figure out how much pressure you're applying?
