I was using a little Dixie cup for the oil brush and it was leaking all over the place. I thought I would make a metal cup so I looked in my scrap metal pile and came up with this. The body is exhaust tubing and the bottom was turned on the lathe after welding to clean it up and make it flat.

Nice job Dan.

I used to work in a shop that had metal cups like that and they had tops on them with a slot for the brush. It kept them from filling up with chips.

Dan,
Nice job Smiley-signs107

But I have to ask what is a 'Dixie' cup - I was thinking a tea set for a Barbie doll.???
