When I made mine I used plastic pill containers. I didnt even cut the
bottom, just a large hole and used '0' rings. I used lawnmower carb.
jets for the drip. They work.

was easier for me to copy the small one that I had been given then to re-engineer them. lot of people said to use plastic but I wanted glass for the look, plus the tubes were pretty cheap.

it should of been flat on top with no rake, but the bit was one that I had already used for something else and the side I turned up only had a slight negitive rake on it. It actually cut pretty good, I had it on center and would crank the cross slide in about 10 15 thousands and then run the carriage into the part to the depth that I needed, using lots of dark cutting oil.

Dave, I've reached the point of needing the glass tube's, or I may just use some stainless steel tubing I have so I can call them done till I get the glass. They have actually been a lot easier to make then I had first thought they would be.
The one part that I haven't really figured out is the little cover over the filler hole as its spring loaded I may just put in a tube with a drop cap on it and a little chain or something to keep them from getting misplaced.
If you need to buy oiler glass, this is a real good source.

can't remember if I posted photo of where I am at with the oiler project or not so I'll stick one on here.
Cast Iron I already have the glass but thanks for the info. I need one of the little sight glasses to replace one I cracked.
