Err…I’d buy one if you wanna make another!
What’s with the brass top?
Edit: actually, I’d buy a few if you’re willing to make..

The brass cap is just to cover the bearing. Not sure if a bearing is really necessary, the EVT one seems popular emough and doesn’t have a bearing. I just fancied seeing what kind of tolerances I could get on the fit.
The main body is just one piece of stainless, the tip isn’t separate. I copied the 2 degree taper from EVT.
I’m just using a lathe at work during lunch, so I don’t really have the resources to make more, and if I did, they’d probably be more expensive than the EVT one!

Just made myself a fancy nipple loader. I was a little bit limited by the length of stock that I had so it might be a bit short for deep rims, but I mainly did it as an excuse to practice on the lathe. Very fun little project!
