I went back and read quite a few threads on compressors and wanted to lay out what I got out of it to make sure I get it right the first time. I appreciate any input or advice!
come off the tank and have some sort of coil (a coil of copper pipe to allow air to cool) what size copper?
then run a air/water separator- then a regulator(qualities of a good one?)
I was then going to do some sort of manifold with a regulator for each line(2 or 3 to have a certain line for each tool?) Wondering if that seems like a good plan?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

*baaaah* I say phooey. Yeah, that's the 'right' way to do it, but if you aren't going to paint, just put your airline on the end of the regulator and occasionally dab a bit of oil down your tool's input. Save the money & build the plane
