cutting oil pot finished

 The finished article, with the seam puttied and sanded, and the whole thing painted. I used nail polish instead of paint on the lid, because it holds up better to physical wear and tear. I glued an old hard-drive magnet to the bottom. I suspected it would be too strong, but it turned out to be okay.

 I promptly dropped it four feet off the drill press table the first day I used it, and it is spill proof, but not splash-proof; and if I told you what the brush did when I dropped it, you wouldn't believe me, so I won't bother.
