Oh, yeah, I did the main line in 3/4" copper and then did all the drops in 1/2". The compressor has to run for a while just to fill the lines (it was about 40' of 3/4" line, plus a number of 4' drops plus a 25' hose reel on the ceiling), but it was worth it. One hell of racket when you hit one of the dump valves…
Make sure you plumb in for a filter and a drip right where the compressor connects. I didn't put an oiler in because I didn't want to oil the whole system. I figured I would just oil my tools by hand, but I did consider constructing one of the connections in such a way as to make it easy to have a dedicated oiler for that connection only, but in the end decided it was easier to just oil my tools by hand before/after use.
