I made mine out of 2" aluminum tube

I fee like brass is the easiest for the housing because you can solder the base on very easily. I suppose you could use Loctite for aluminum.

I used 5 minute epoxy to hold the base to the body of mine. No leaks so far.

I think brass or aluminum is easiest but brass looks better. The hardest part for me was holding the tube itself. I used stainless steel. I put the bottom in the freezer and the tube in the oven. I mixed JB Weld and used that as a sealant.

I first used loctite on mine. It held the base on fine but it didn't seal it and oil weeped out of the joint. The epoxy is working fine. no leaks and held on tight.
