You make it look so easy, but I know better. Great build as usual, and wonder "what next". I bought several of the 66 oil cans, cleaned them up and hit them with the buffing wheel. They look great and were a fun project. Now this looks like it will be just a bit above my pay grade, but sure was fun watching you make it. Thanks for sharing ...Ken
great home shop project! love the eagle oilers...i have a few myself way before they went to crazy prices ..this will be a good addition for the home shop guy that dont want to spend a fortune on a real one...
Great project. Nice job... a good bit of work in that. One thought I had - perhaps bottom cap could benefit from being just a wee smidge concave, so it sits better on a surface which might have any bits on it.
Greg . . . Now you can crank out a bunch of those oilers and give them to your machinist friends for Christmas. Really nice work. I know it would cost a fortune, but it would be cool to use brass tubing and fixtures so they would look like the original. Thanks for sharing your work! Have a good one! Dave
Great little video Im thinking of making one too now, looks like an enjoyable project for when you get the urge to make some chips. Will video it for my channel if I do. Thanks for sharing.
Hello GREG This finished off real nice. Tried Ordering our Spares again, no dice !!! Would U believe McMaster won't ship the O Rings and stuff across the pond to us ??? Real crazy. Anyway, Tom Lipton was kind enough to agree to acquire these for us. Your Video was timeous and an most informative tutorial for us. All the best and Keep 'em rolling aRM
I have built the oil can according to the plans and with great support from your fabulous video's. I do have a question however, on the length of the springs. How did you determine the exact lenght and also should the lower bearing ball touch or not touch the spring.cheers,Teun (the Netherlands)
Great project! Bought a SB 9" Model A last summer. Build a bench and I'm in the process of cleaning, leveling, aligning etc. It did not come with a collet system. What are you using? On the boards, I'm finding a lot of different opinions.
I use a 3c collet system which these lathes are designed to use. You can use anything as long as you have a collet Chuck. Just be aware that the largest size you can get through the spindle is 3/4"
I know that I'm a little late to this party but I am going to make this project and will be using 2" diameter type L copper pipe that I had on hand along with other mixed materials that I have on hand
Great project. Thanks for posting the video. I'll be checking out the hobby-machinist site. There's a lot of different Locktites. Rather than a thread locker like #272, #648 is a retaining compound that works better for close fits of cylindrical parts without threads. Both are high-strength anaerobic adhesives but intended for different applications. I doubt it will be an issue in this project but for something under stress or that can't be allowed to rotate #648 might be a better choice.
Really good build. I was wondering if you considered threading the bottom of the tube to fit it to the base? Quite a bit of work compared to you solution but it would make an interesting challenge.
Impressive Greg. Neat little project - one of those that most don't make. I'll have to make this one too. Can you shoot me over the plans? Don't think I'm on that website that has them.
+Halligan142 Great. Thanks. I found it. Last question: somehow can't get it printed really sharp. Any idea? Would it be possible to send me the non-PDF version?
+Chippie All I have is that PDF. I used Acrobat reader with default settings and the print greyscale tab checked. Also up the print quality of your printer in the settings to text and image or image. Usually darkens things up.
+rasterops1083 I tried all enhancement options, even printing 1200 dpi, still some section and pages are unable to read. I made screen copies of each and pasted in Word doc and that worked fine. So I have it done now :)
excellent project and video just curious as to how they operate upside down as i have a reilang oil can that is a real bastard unless it is full and the oil can is below the nozzle . anyone ever done the flexible pick up for an oil can ?
Tell her if you had a mill you could make her a custom wedding ring! Put it right at the top of your wedding registries. Before the silver and china! Is that your DT bit holder and insert? How do you like it now with a few miles under your belt? Great video. You do nice work. Have a good one. Doug
+Douglas Thompson Already did that with the lathe :-) and videoed it too ruclips.net/video/tPwAe2BNu0g/видео.html The toolholders are working fine. Can't take as big of a bite in harder materials, but that's just a horsepower limitation of my lathe.
That is a piece of art. I would like to have the plans for the pump. MrPragmaticLee was going to email me the drawings but i still have not received them yet. I have tried to sign up for Hobby-machinist.com but every time I try it flags my name. It is almost as if they do not want any more members. It would be great if someone could post where to download the files somewhere besides the Hobby machinist forum. Thanks for sharing.
Had an old Eagle pump oil can I bought new many years ago. I remember it had steel check ball and copper pump sleeve on the pump and the can was made from heavy gauge steel nice oil can. not the old soup can oilers crap they sell today
+Halligan142 just tell your buddies that a mill is a household item they can all throw in for rather than the usual toaster or similar crap that everyone seems to buy as wedding gifts !
Enjoyed both parts Greg, was really good to be able to follow each component build including the assembly.🏆👍
Thank You!

Its not too bad. If you can do the downfeed mod you can do this.
Excellent job Greg looks like I'll have to go pick up some supplies this morning and start my own. Thanks for the videos keep up the great work.
Just signed up on hobby machinist and downloaded the prints. Hopefully one day I'll be able to add this and a real 66 to my little oil can collection.
Worthwhile watching - thanks for posting - these Eagle cans are classic design and just ripe for 'modding'...
Cheers
Pete
great home shop project! love the eagle oilers...i have a few myself way before they went to crazy prices ..this will be a good addition for the home shop guy that dont want to spend a fortune on a real one...
I never stopped and looked at the inside of a 66, this gives a great overview.... Nice result, even without a milling machine... ;)
Nice work Greg! This is a great project for my youth outreach. Thanks for sharing.
Another awesome and cool project. Loved every bit of it...Bart
awesome videos, been looking at building this same oil can for the last three weeks and you posted these two videos at the same exact time, lol
very good a lot of work for a oil can.but you made it and looks like it does works. that is wart counts.good job thank you sal.
Great project with just a lathe and a drill press. Thanks for posting.
Great video Greg. I will try to find the materials and make a few. Thanks and keep the videos coming.
Great project. Nice job... a good bit of work in that.
One thought I had - perhaps bottom cap could benefit from being just a wee smidge concave, so it sits better on a surface which might have any bits on it.
Absolutely an option. I just went for the sime route.

I really wanted brass but I priced it out and it just wasn't in the cards. The aluminum came out OK though.
Lovely Job Greg, Thanks for bringing this to our attention, really likedd the look of those cans, only option in the UK is make yer clone.
Great work on the machining and video work. I Like that it's a very useful tool. Kudos and Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks! Next time you see me I'll be 10 lbs heavier.
Excellent job Greg. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent - really good video and project.

How can i get the plans?

yup you're correct. Just used what I had on hand.
That looks a lot better than a Eagle 66 oil can.

Thanks!
Wonder if cutting a grove in the base,Just like you would for an
O-ring might be a good option and then add set screws...Just my 2$
it's possible to do that also.
Really good build. I was wondering if you considered threading the bottom of the tube to fit it to the base? Quite a bit of work compared to you solution but it would make an interesting challenge.
I did, but that short if a thread to a hard shoulder would be a bit of a pain and I'd have to grind a smaller internal thread tool.
Impressive Greg. Neat little project - one of those that most don't make. I'll have to make this one too. Can you shoot me over the plans? Don't think I'm on that website that has them.
Yup when I get back to the PC I'll send them over.
Good job !!! Professional !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the video !!! Good luck, friend !!!!
Thanks!
Loved this series!
Nice looking work and thanks for sharing.
That is just a great piece of work, looks so nice when finished. Do you happen to have the drawing for building this piece of equipment? Thanks.
+Chippie
Plans are in the link in the description.

So I have it done now :)
I like JB Weld for sealing stuff up permanently. Good to 500F too.
For a colour contrast for the hex bolts, maybe you could "blue" them, like Clickspring does for his clock fixings.
Nicely done.
excellent project and video
just curious as to how they operate upside down as i have a reilang oil can that is a real bastard unless it is full and the oil can is below the nozzle .
anyone ever done the flexible pick up for an oil can ?
I can't download these plans, although I'm a member, anyone have a copy?
Nice build. thanks for the video. Cheers.
Fantastic job

great work nice oil can.
Think I will try making one

Most of the newer oilers I have leak.
Well that come out nice. Thanks for sharing Is Santa bringing you a Mill for Xmas?
Unfortunately not this year. He's bringing me a wedding. That ate the mill budget.
+Halligan142 just tell your buddies that a mill is a household item they can all throw in for rather than the usual toaster or similar crap that everyone seems to buy as wedding gifts !
nice work,,,, thanks for the video
Good job
Good Job!
22:35... cheeky m8
you would have better off using JB weld 5 minute epoxy.
