After years of tripping over hoses on the floor, I'm finally plumbing my air to a few spots around the shop.

I was thinking of doing a coiled hose above the bench, or a retractable hose reel above the bench area, but then I got thinking maybe I want a dedicated hose for an air gun near the bench, and use the reel for tools. That way I can have both going at once.

Then I got thinking maybe I don't want hoses hanging down on the bench while I'm working on something tall. Maybe better to put the outlet in a drop along the wall next to the bench. But then the hose will be in the way there.

Argghh! Seems like they will be in the way no matter what.

So for you guys with plumbed air, where is the best place to put it?

I should add that my bench is not along a wall, but is away from the wall so I have 360 degree access.
