Oil Can #2

I was greatly inspired by Hackmasters beautiful oil can clone. I decided to do a run of my own with a simpler design. It was suggested that I start a new thread here and not hijack the other thread.
The plan was originally solid brass. I realized that the pump housing would add too much weight so I went with an aluminum pump housing.

I was sort of emulating this original as posted by Hackmaster:





Here is the base pattern:











Its about 3/16" thick at the edge. I will turn it down more when it is brass.

Beautiful! Always wondered how the pump worked.

 

The pump is just my own design. I have no idea how the original ones worked. I have never dissected one.

 

Yes, the pump works fine. I have two of them next to my lathe. Spindle oil in one and WD-40 in the other one.

 

I am trying to download the drawings for the oil pot but do not have the three messages up yet so I am hoping this is the correct way to make a message. ( Not very good with computers.)

 

I appears that my earlier message has registered on this forum so I will continue to write up my three messages. Sorry if they are not helping anyone else with anything.

 

Again both my previous messages have appeared on this site so I am hoping that I will now be able to continue to use the forum.
