Hello my name is Chris,
iv currently been assembling my own studio for sometime now and iv been reading a lot about these home fill stations on tmp.com and becoming more and more interested but im not really sure how to go about it ....so iv decided to reach out and ask for advice.
im currently wondering what would be the best way to go about this and wondering what are the materials needed to make this happen...im currently running a Bethlehem pm2d torch and really only concerned about making a home fill station to be able to run full power for one station for at least 4 hours a day and if that's possible because it would be kind of my ideal dream to be able to have, but if not either way thanks again and I appreciate your help and support

if you only work 4 hours a day, a homefill is a very viable option. they do fill slow (a 330cf tank will only be about 1200psi in 24 hours, from empty) but for a part timer (i myself am part time, and the homefill is my lifeline...if i had to pay airgas $45 a fill i'd be out of business)

so you'll need a homefill compressor, a concentrator (some homefills come with one included, some dont) and a whip. check out the "similar threads" at the bottom of this page, tons of good info.
and there is almost always one for sale here in the glassifieds.
