Welcome aboard! Langmuir makes some pretty nice tables. What plasma cutter are you using? As you are probably aware, Langmuir has some great Fusion 360 tutorials.

Many here us Inkscape as well and there are many nice tutorials available as well. I particularly like those from "Logos by Nick". He has free stuff on Youtube, and also offers an online course for $17 that is well worth the price (in my opinion). Feel free to share photos of your setup as well as any of your projects.

Nice looking setup! Some may disagree, but I would probably add an additional drain valve to keep water from collecting in those middle U's. And maybe a drain just ahead of your regulator/dryer as well.

If he piped those loops together as you suggest, it will circumvent the cooling loop he's created. The air will take the shortest path. It sounds like the OP has the right idea putting a separate drain valve in each loop.
