Bob, thats the nicest one yet. ;D Your engraving turned out great! Put a quarter next to it, to show a prespective size OK. Tell these guys how you made it. How long did it take you to make?
Great job Bob ;)

They are made from heavy .o60    1 1/2' brass tubing. For the tub I turn 30 thou off the tubing on the outside of the base and the same off the inside of the top. Top and bottom are from sheet brass .030 . I use lots of soft solder. trim close with snips then skinned of in the lathe.
The bottle is a bit more involved as you have to thread 3/8 = 24. AND SILVER SOLDER  It onto sheet brass,chuck the threaded end and drill a 5/16th hole in it. Soft solder top and bottom on with soft solder. The screw cap is turned from 3/4" solid brass rod.  Lotsa work but satisfying.
Cheers     Bob

Glad I took a look at this thread.  Those are very nice Bob.  Something else I will have to try and make down the road.

   I seem to remember here a while back somebody said they were thinking about they're last hooray.  Let me think... hmm doesn't come to mind,  anyway one time you made reference to your age.  Proof is in the pudding, you're not getting old...you're getting better

  Love em  Bob.
