Cool.   I had lost track of this very interesting project.

Powder Keg:
Here is how the nipples were left. They are too long and have a burr left over from the previous operation.



I had a old lathe tool that had about the right shape. So I'm using it to form the head of the nipple.



I then tap the hole. These small taps are pretty fragile. I run a starter tap half way in, back it out, wipe off the chips, run it all the way in, Back it out, then run a bottom tap in to the bottom.



Then I pull it out and run a tap in from the other end just to make sure the threads are good. It takes about ten minutes. Give or take:o)

I did 5 more tonight.

~Wes~
