Pump Oil Can Prints

My wife uses the stainless version in the kitchen for cooking oil. She loves it. Just for fun here is the matching salt shaker for cooking:

Do or would you, have the dimensions of salt shaker maybe a drawing? What about a pepper shaker or grinder to go with it. Sweet job btw.

The dimensions of the salt shaker are obviously not critical. The one I made is 3-1/2" high and made from 1-1/4" OD tubing with a .050 wall. The top cap has 6, 1/16" holes. The base has a .700" hole with a delrin plug and an O-ring. I was planning on a threaded plug originally but this would have required threading up to a shoulder. The O-ring plug is superior in function anyway. Top and base are press fit and sealed with Locktite on mine. I must advise you to only use a food safe adhesive on yours.

Merci! Bon travail, ces't magnifique!

Thank you for referencing the source. It is very gratifying to see that people from all over the world have an interest in this. I'm sure the metric version will get a lot of use! I like your personal spin on it with knurled nuts. Very elegant. Is that stainless or aluminum?
As Werowance noted above these work great with ball oilers.

Thanks Robert for your nice comment.
I did it in aluminium with all screw in brass.

I can't edit the post for replacing the "oil can nose and piston.pdf" with the last version of it. So I had it here.

I'm just showing here what I did for stoping the drops falling from the nose, that work well for me! No drops any more!

By adding a small peace of brass inside the tube, and create a small chamber at the end. This has retained the pressure of the oil which is in the length of the tube.

Where did the springs and o-rings come from come from, only has an McM part number on the drawing? Being in Australia i will need to find the specs and match them with what i can source locally.

Someone is selling them for a lot of money.
