Anyone ever make an oil can?

[oldguy]

Instead of making the can/container, why not use one of the metal water bottles that seem to be popular now? They are one piece, so there would be no problems with leaks. And steal the plans for the pump from an existing oil can, but use better materials with closer tolerances. This could be a fun project and wouldn't be the first time I've spent $20 dollars on stock and several hundred dollars of time to make a $10 item. That's why it's a hobby.

A pump like THIS would probably be perfect!!! It would just need a spring to keep the pumper up.

wow i agree it dosent look to hard just some tube, ball bearings and solder and it should fit all the types of pump cans

I would...if they don't look like a metal water bottle with spout on the end. I have that look already. ;D I want the look of a fancy brass oiler to compliment the steamboat.....I need a pouring container for the lubricator tanks and a pump oiler for all the "bits".

Dave,

1:1 Oil Guns in my experience are like an overgrown syringe. A visit to your local vet might yield something of the type and style you are looking for. The pourer for the worsted boxes will probably have to be made to scale and style.

Ahhh the old swabby knows what I want...only you would know what a
worsted box is...and why I need a pourer! ;D

For the "bits" I think a brass squirt can will do fine....but I need a pourer

Funny thing...I don't have any wicks on my oilers they are either drip or pressure fed..( con rod bearings)
