    Good sprayer for applying stain?

    I'm sure this has been addressed before but...
    I need to buy a good sprayer to stain some office furniture I'm building and currently don't have a large enough compressor. Can anyone suggest a good, fairly inexpensive spray gun that doesn't require a compressor?

    You must be thinking of a hand crank hurdy gurdy

    I haven't encountered any spray guns that don't require some sort of stored/pressurized energy. You might consider ordering the HVLP unit Rockler (and others) sells. It comes with a turbine and hose for right around $100.00 and does a pretty good job.

    I have an HVLP from Woodcraft. Works fine. Personally I'd rather spray dye than stain, but that might not suit you.

    Thanks Guys!

    I've been looking at the selection at Rockler since I order quite a bit from them. And yes Shawn, I too use dye more often as well. Thanks for the help!
