I just came back and viewed this again. I need to make one or more of these......... Thank you again for posting this and the accompanying video on this project.
Yep, and once you helped me with the concept of the tool grind, I got to wondering how it would be approached for a deep groove. Thanks for stopping by.
Looks like this will be a great project Lee. Look forward to following it to the end. Glad to see/hear that you got rid of the boom mic at last. Audio is 10x better. Thanks for sharing. regards from the UK
Hi Lee, This is gonna be a great gift, nicely executed, you're following the procedure like a pro... ;) The future owners will cause envy around them... lol Cheers, Pierre
You have one heck of a long potential gift list Lee! That's one real super project - I keep looking out for an old 66 but most I see cost too much. Maybe I should make me one but haven't at the moment got suitable material sizes on hand. Altogether a fair number of stages involved - you are a patient man with energy and a comfortable shop! Most enjoyable seeing the process so far - nice job.
Thanks Chris This was a fun project. I actually had a little vacation time left that I needed to take before retiring soon so spent most of the time in the shop working on these an several other items. I was amazed at how much setup & time was required. Making multiples probably didn't take much more time though than a single one would have.
Thanks Lee! I really enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to the conclusion. And I'm glad you mentioned the H-M link as I had not made the connection between you here and there. :)
Hi Lee I to have a project list , seems it's two miles long now. I've wanted to build several of these too. Plus I need to make power table feeds for two mills and a head lift for my HF Mill drill. My enco small turret mill I'm going to go over it and paint and repair. I also just picked up an atlas horizontal mill . Haven't cked it out yet , one handle on table has broken I may get round ones to replace them. So if my doc can get my pain under control in spring look out .ill be back moving things out and in. Trying to get the shop under control.like your vids , oh I'm on the hobby machinist quite often. Sometimes I even get in trouble when they take anything written out of context. Thanks nice build so far.
I did one of these from those plans. Not real happy with O ring groove size. The whole pump part took some fixing. I read up on O ring clearances in the Machinery's Handbook. Still getting some leaks I don't like when pump is full of oil. Hmm.
hi i tried to follow the link to hobby-mach..., no download unless member, tried but is a little finicky to say the least. will work my own plans. thanks for the video it`s great and very instructional. cheers. pete
Pete, I'll be glad to send you a copy of the plans. My email is in the scroll at the beginning of the video. Glad you enjoyed the video. Part 2 will be posted in a few more days.
Great project Lee. I keep trying to sign up for the forum but for some reason it keeps flagging my name. Any advice getting signed into the forum would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to share with us.
terry cannon Wish I could help you with the log in, but I’ve been banned in that forum by the owner, Nelson. Can’t get any explanation why, but I suspect it’s because I turned down his offer to sponsor my videos. Drop me an email & I’ll send you the plans.
When I first looked at the drawings I thought the base was way out of proportion to the rest of the oil can, but the large footprint is going to be an asset I believe.
is this forum top secret or something i cant get to join or am i as thick as a plank what gives hobby-machinist.com/threads/pu... were can i get the plans for the Eagle 66 Pump Oil Can Clones thanks
Most of the aluminum I buy for the eBay seller 6061Dude. He didn't have any tubing like I needed for this project but the seller highdesertmartin had exactly what I needed. The o-rings, spings, etc. came from McMaster-Carr. A list of their item numbers is part of the plans.

Gary C thanks Gary. Still got a little hum I need to track down, but at least you don't have to hear my every breath. 😀
Maybe the gain/sensitivity is set a little high. regards Gary
Superb, excellent and very useful for anyone's tool box. I tought my daughter about basic hand tools also. Great video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment Sam. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Nice work, the ring had me worried , should remove it when running machinery!
Nice work, Lee! Glad to see you having some fun with this. :) Plus, those are great gifts!
Best wishes,

Tom Zelickman Thanks Tom

I don't get a lot of feedback on my HM posts, but my views count seems to go up after posting a link. Glad we know who each other is now. :-)
The mini lathe seems to cut brass fairly well given the long stickout with the collet chuck.
Like those multi-colored chips!

Sounds like you got quite a long "to-do" list. Hope the doc gets you pain under control and you can enjoy your shop.
Nice project and results.
gettin good, look great Lee
Thanks Phil - I'm still learning, need a mentor like you & Pierre local to me.
Good job. It might be better with a seamless bottom made from an aluminum beer bottle or water bottle.
really enjoy your content as well as your humble no nonsense easy aproach to machining. what size is your lathe and your milling machine?
Jamie Buckley Thanks for the comment Jamie. The lathe is a 11 X 27 & the mill is a 7 X 27. They are branded by Precision Matthews.
Nice job

hamsoftware I had 1 of the 4 to lose prime over night, but otherwise no issues.
Nice, nice very nice!
Thanks!
When turning the bottom of the base, what angle are you using?
Sibpncerely,
David
Be nice if I could actually download the drawings.
lee interesting nice work.

you made a cannon out of aluminum?
Hi , if I share my email , would it be possible for someone to send me the drawing of this oil pump ? I'm from Brazil
Great idea. I bought one of those off ebay and it does not look as good as your model.
When I first looked at the drawings I thought the base was way out of proportion to the rest of the oil can, but the large footprint is going to be an asset I believe.
The valve bodies look like Zippo lighters!
is this forum top secret or something i cant get to join or am i as thick as a plank what gives hobby-machinist.com/threads/pu... were can i get the plans for the Eagle 66 Pump Oil Can Clones thanks
I registered in the group, as I am a recent user, I do not have access to the design of the oil pump, someone can send me by email.
You could sale these easy.
Too much fun to try to make money off them. :-)
where are you buying your metal?
