Thanks. I need to cut the barrel to length, make a little adapter for the cap valve and glue the whole thing together. With a bit of luck I'll do that this week.Cool! Looks good, what more is left?

Things are a bit hectic at work but I should manage this in the evening, in the meantime got my 3/8" edge finder

Oh cool! 8)
Now you can really find those edges... take the time to play a bit with the tool, before the dimpling frenzy
Me too, I suddenly have way too much work on my hands

Consider my frenzy dampened

... and done. Almost according to plan. The body turned out pretty well, the cap.... moved. So a dimple became a groove, and I added a small hole for venting. Not what was intended but it turned out pretty well

Transforming mistakes into features is perfectly normal. Nothing wrong with that!!!
Very very good! You can be proud of the result, with this little project you've learned and succeeded in a lot of different machining process.
For someone that never used a lathe or mill before, that's quite an achievement!
Kudos to you!!!

It's definitely been a great training exercise as intended, and I'm proud of the result - though I think you can take at least 80% of the credit because without your advice and tutorials I wouldn't have done it so quickly.Very very good!

Now, your turn, we have yet to see your "Dimply" perforate some cans
