A fairly quick one (at least for me) I made over the past few nights.
I needed a way to hold a bottle of oil. 3D print one? Go buy one for 4 bucks? Hell, no! Spend 8 hours making one instead!
I don't know why the upper bracket seems to be at such an odd angle in the first picture. In reality, the brackets are both 90 degrees to the vertical piece. It proved to be a bit more difficult than I anticipated, trying to get an even curve, and making the parts as close to one another as possible. I used my fiber deburring wheel to clean up the parts a little after pounding it into shape.
It mounts to the leg of my mill bench and will provide an oil supply for the kool-mist unit I bought. They can be had for about 12 bucks, but I found the best deal at Walmart on-line. The 3M oil is the same we use at work. The CNC guy says he goes through about a quart every 2 months, so that bottle should last me for many years.

Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
