Well how neat is that , any video of it running  ?

Not yet Bruce (I know...i Know, without video it did not happen, right?) Lol.
  I am taking a sabbatical from work, but when I get at some proper metal working tools, I had the thought to modify a needle nose plyers such that I would drill a small hole near the tip from the top down thru both jaws, than tap/thread the lower jaw and thread in a tiny set screw with tip dressed half round, in this way it would be adjustable and could be used to form faux rivets on the outer pop can before assembly, with perhaps 2 rows of decorative rivets plus polish first and proper fittings, fill port and SV it could look semi respectable and video worthy as well.
