I used to (so very long ago) live a couple blocks away from the place, so it was kinda a daily stopoff for me

Wanted to share some pics of the Clear Caps being machined. For my one off custom stuff, I dont CNC machine them, I machine them manually to add a bit of me to it, so each piece is unique and truly custom 
This is the machine that the clears were run on All chucked up and ready to go
First steps, facing the end and rough milling the bore:
Then I size the bore with a boring bar:
Now drilling the drip tip hole:
Now I turn the Outside to size:
Now I cut off the part to flip it over:
That leaves this:
I face the Part to length:
Then turn the drip tip to size:
finally add the chamfer to the top cap:
Part is done except for the slots and polishing up nice and clear
Off to the milling machine to do the slots.........

But give a guy a fish he eats for a day, give him a lathe ... well ...
Don't let these show offs get to you. Have pride in your tools my dear!

I want one!
I'd definitely lose a finger if I ever operated one of these.

No you wouldn't, it's hands free.
Interest list for a Tamer drippy tip.
(Limited quantitites. Only 1 per customer. Likely only ever to be 10 or less produced.)
1 "this guy" (get it?)

I mean we're redefining the phrase "giving the finger" here.
If it were mine, we'd be starting at priceless.
