re: Fire Piston
Jim, the one I made was steel and brass. I looked but couldn’t find any pics of it unfortunately. It was a good lathe project.
My metal lathe and mill are small, just benchtop models. A LMS 4190 mini mill and an LMS 5100 mini lathe (7”x16”). I’m n the small side, but with pretty good options and they get the job done if you take your time. I’d love to have an old Bridgeport knee mill and a larger lathe since they’d both be a bit more rigid than mine (obviously) but honestly I don’t need the size…and don’t have the room to store anything like that!!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
