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.

Really nicely done. Awesome! If it ever warms up enough here to re-enter the shop and finish the brass tap handle, and chuck-to-RT adapter I'm working on, this is a have- to-do project. I've been saving all my brass, aluminum, and 304 chips to re-cycle or use for casting projects (when I learn how) . Your post has given info on that process as well. Thanks again!

Thanks men.
It's sitting in my wife's kitchen so I hope to get some great meals out of it!

WTF! That is ridiculously expensive for one bolt. I guess I should have ordered a few pounds.
I'll be casting hexagonal rods and using a die.

MMC has 3/8 x 16 x 1.25 pack of 5 for $6.80. The 24 TPI looks better though if you can find it. After looking around it seems that the 24 TPI is what makes it so expensive.
