Beautiful choice of colors and material for the ceramic pot is absolutely gorgeous...congratulations on the choice and making it look so easy...I wish I had a back yard to have one of yours installed...you also explain beautifully...thank you for uploading...I enjoyed your video very very much
Great video. I'm building two now. Ordered the mold just like you have . Everything is well explained except the brass nut is not a compression nut. It is a flange nut. Thanks for the video.
How much of the yellow powder did you use and where do you get it from? I thought I heard you say 2 cups. When I searched online it appears to be sold by weight.
I need to mention that I was using a non-aggregate cement, meaning it was mostly pure powder. It was fast-drying and extremely strong: 1 day cured, 6000 psi. If using the concrete in video link, Quikrete 5000, it would be possible to achieve the same yellow intensity with one cup. The reason being is that the aggregate, the small rocks and stones would not absorb the yellow mineral colorant. Both the cement and the color would be much more economical if mass producing cement with color, but both work extremely well.
The entire price for the yellow topper and blue pot, including the pump and other materials, was around $120. This fountain has the potential to last a lifetime in that all the materials used are of a sound quality.
Beautiful Tom, as usual.
Beautiful yard art, great instructional video, helpful tips.
Another great video Tom... beautiful to watch. Thank you.

Two cups were used. That is one pound.

How much will it cost to make one?
