That looks great. Have you tried any oil in it yet?

now I can see how much oil is in the tank without dropping a match down in it for a light.

Very nice. Is that the pexto type plumbing fittings or a compression ring fitting.

[dallen]

some plastic push loc plumbing fitting that I picked up at Lowe's, I was going to use brass compression but these were a lot cheaper, one thing I should of done was to of heated the tube till the cut ends smoothed over which would of made it easier to slide thru the O-Rings.

I used 1/2 to 1/2 MPT and on the top one I reamed out the stop that is molded in so the tube would slide all the way through

looks good anyway, plus now I can see how much oil is in the tank plus I'm going to get one of them aluminuum yard sticks and cut it to fit and wire tie it to the tube so I can see how much oil I use.

have a submergeable pump on order, plus I should have fittings for the hyd pump for the filter I fixed tomorrow.

got the pump back today with some fittings that (you guessed it) I had to cut on to make them work. Pump's dirty but New Old stuff from shed.

not really, ice is gone for the moment but you never know when it will show its ugly head around here. if it would get back to warm weather I would go back to trying to accomplish what I want done. Did move some of the foundry stuff around to make it a little easier to play with, and found out that I need a electric motor for the pump drill doesn't spin fast enough.

I did receive the submergable pump that I got off of evil bay and tried it out on the burner, it worked ok with no crucible in the furnace have to wait for a warm day to try to melt with it.

otherwise I been staying busy putting thoughts to the cad program for a CNC Router. hope to add in the Z Axis slide for the spindle tonight if the damn dog will leave me alone, little mutt thinks he's the boss now.


shop monster after he had too much Christmas Dinner.
