Default Compressor frustration, help

Anybody have any bright ideas about how to easily get this compressor to sit
higher off the ground? I'm thinking maybe bolt it to a 3/4" plywood base
and simply cut a, say, 4" diameter circle in the middle of the plywood. Any
better ideas that are quick and easy?


Buy 4 hockey pucks and 4 carriage bolts. Drill the pucks, counter bore
just a smidge to clear the head, stuff in the carriage bolts, bolt to
feet.

Alternative 2, with vibration-damping possibilities - find a used tire
of a size that will allow you to bolt the compressor feet to the
sidewall - drill/punch 4 holes, bolt it on, done.
