Hey, I got my house pretty much done, the addition on my shop close and had some people wanting knives. So this week I got 6 D2 blades profiled, ground and hardened, 3 damascus blades profiled and grinding started. Also got scales on some blades that where ready. I am making knives again, Hooray.

Question: I picked up a thin walled piece of 4" stainless on my last job an have it welded to a stainless base plate. I want to set it up to circulate Parks 50 by pumping oil into the bottom of the pipe, have it flow up and out a larger dia. drain at the top into a small reservoir that the pump sucks from. Suggestions for the pump. Maybe 5 gallons total volume.
 
I used a transmission oil cooling pump and run it on 12VDC. You can get one at the auto parts store. It is made for pumping hot oil.
