    Two stage air compressor pump

    discharge line I predict discharge tube failure. Sweating copper is fine for hanging on the wall. As it rarely sees high enough pressure/tempurature combination to reach failure. If you have used Sched M it most likely isnt rated for that kind of pressure/temp Schedual L is common...

    How to keep plate straight when welding

    depending on the severity you can sometimes salvage the part by welding on the crown of the curve which will make the metal pull towards the weld side. and grind flush. This a last ditch hail mary its better to never have to do this.

    CO2

    you wouldn't run anything very long. Running an airbrush that might last a couple of hours. Die grinder 3mins or so. You can do the math to see how many cfm there will be in the bottle at the final pressure. divide that by cfm of the tool. and you will see it isnt very feasable. Good luck!
