So I spent some quality time yesterday in the shop, turning the end caps. Specifically turning the first one to final size and then cutting the shoulder into it for a nice, snug fit on the Schedule 40, and then starting to rough in the second one…
I may have to redo the first as I did something stupid. I removed it from the chuck before the drill chuck came in, so I haven’t center bored it yet… I will make certain it’s good and round before I start punching that center bore!
Chances are, I won’t have an opportunity to get to work on it again until at least the weekend. I have work keeping me late, and the some more work on the main bathroom, time to prime! I figure by the time I am done with all my projects, i will either have to start all over again, or I will be dead…

I hear you, by the time I get all my projects finished, I would have been dead for 5 years already.
