What i'm hearing is that i can stick many on as i want - lol
Thanks.

Nah, what you're seeing is a bunch of folks who'd love to be helpful, but are floundering desperately, because you haven't given them a clue!

So, what the heck is an HD2000?

(Google shows Sennheiser headphones, among a stack of other things that go by that part number.)

Give the folks here some serious info to work with, and you'll vastly increase the chances of getting a serious and helpful answer.

Substitute "string" for "hose" to see how vague the OP was:
"I'm planning on buying some string. What sort should I get, and how long?"

Cheers,
Andrew

I found that just enough was in fact enough and one more would have been too many however I would have been one short if I had one less

It's a compressor, see link,

Still doesn't help much.

What exactly do you plan to do with the compressor & hoses?
- Is your compressor inside or outside?
- How long is each hose?
- Are you planning on fixing some hoses to walls and making an airline that runs around your workshop and that you can tap off at various locations, or just run one free line direct from the compressor
- How many air tools/gizmos do you have, how many do you plan on using simultaneously.
ETC

Might help us if you tell us what you want to do HD200Renegrade, save everyone guessing

OK, I've got 4.

1 long one (reaches all over the shed, or out of the shed and about 2/3rds of the way across the yard)

1 short one (reaches to all the common places it's needed, but doesn't coil all over the shed floor like the long one)

1 on a retractor reel ($40 from K-mart. How could I resist?)

1 cheap, nasty, crappy thin spirally thing that came thrown in for free, that I only tend to use with the airbrush, on account of its light build.

They've all got compatible connectors, so I can hook them end-to-end in various combinations if needed.

Some folks take the approach of having one hose (or set of hoses) for oiled air, and a separate set for oil-free air.

One of the most useful things I made is a double-adapter from a T-piece with an inlet and two outlets. Saves the disconnect/connect dance (it helps that all the vibrating tools have a hose "tail", rather than the connector screwed straight to the tool).

This is very frustrating.
