[Shop-talk] Mounting a compressor

[Jeff Scarbrough]

I sank three lead anchors in the concrete, put some isolators over
them, and set the compressor on that.  The nuts are set just loose, so
the compressor can wiggle a little, but it can't fall down.

And yes, I had it on the pallet for almost a year, but then I built a
lean-to and put it out there.
