Nice job. I was going to ask about the overhead support as well, but it sounds like you've got it covered.

This isn't meant as a criticism (because the pipework is beautiful) but a suggestion on support. Sometimes I can run an LB into the side of the electrical cabinet a foot or two below the top and hit a bolt-type clamp (mini) at the top-side for the first support. Then technically you have 10' to the next support, which looks like the wall in this installation.

That is the cleanest machine shop I have ever seen......We renovated and upgraded the service of a welding shop built in the 60's, that was two years ago and I still find tools with black smoke crap on them. That was the dirtest place on the planet.....
