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.

Thanks ... both to you and Hackmaster!

 

Nice add another project to my list , I like this one tho. Think I'll have to buy some base and top castings tho , no foundry and no room for one . Maybe someone will offer to sell a couple ?

 

An artistic objective: carry something ordinary forward to objective beauty
and perfected function...........BLJHB

 

I like the stainless pump unit ,how heavy is it when full .

Will you be making a stainless salt and pepper mill to match that has ceramic grinders perhaps making the outlet for the ground material come out the top and putting a fine threaded base on as the filling point?
We have some acrylic bodied mills with the ceramic grinders of a similar nature that would look fantastic on the table with the olive oil can as well if made in in stainless

 

wow

 

Unbelievably beautiful work. You have the gift, what a blessing to be able to inspire others with a homemade oil can.

Really nice job! I hope to be able to do work of that quality some day.

 

Well, I just had to comment on your job. That's just crazy, stupid awesome !! Even your pics & explanation are equally good. Must have taken as much time to write-up + pics as to do the work ! Super job & congrats on a great looking tool.

 

Thank you all.
The stainless can is not overly heavy when full. My wife loves it. I like the salt and pepper idea. Maybe....
