My fellow Groopsters,

I said I would share the configuration I come up with
on my new 10-14, so here it is:

Using a Lowes (Home Depot) $19 hand truck
and some steel studs lying around the job here,
this is what I put together for my purposes.

Because I move from job to job,
I needed to be able
to wrap it up to transport neatly.

I added a quick coupling for blowing off,
and another for regulated air I might need.
All having the oil and water trapped.

The anchor bolts on the side work well
for wrapping the hoses and hooking the gun.

Pop riveted the steel to the dolly
and screwed the pump to the steel.
The hopper was off my airless.
When I want to use it, it's easy to remove.
I just couldn't do the wand in the bucket thing.
You leave too much in the can and it's always
flopping around unless you hook it on something
but the in and out business was a nuisance to me
especially since I'm used to the hopper on top of my Wagner.
You get less debris in the material when it's off the ground too.

I screwed the hand truck to a low rolling platform
so I could move it around better
( especially with only 25' of hose)
and give it more stability.

I'm very happy with this unit but it does take me a
bout twice as long as my airless to spray something.
I think it will make the most difference when I do some cabinets.

Thanks John (Cardinal of the Kremlin) for the great deal.
