  • Hi everyone and welcome to my channel, today I'll share how to make a garden fountain. I continue making a Japanese garden and I've decided to make a bamboo water feature with a hypertufa vessel, it was fun and easy to make, hope you'll like it!
    I used similar solar powered pump for making the fountain:
    amzn.to/3QuxTr4
    It doesn't charge and works only when sun is shining on the battery.
    This one has a bigger battery so may be useful if you need to deliver water higher than me: amzn.to/3zICRuw
    Here is the vessel you can use for bottom vessel (here they have a set of 2): amzn.to/3OsBT9X
    It was a bit hard to find a bamboo pole online, here is the 4-pack of a suitable diameter: amzn.to/3OmqFDD
    This is the link to the video where I made hypertufa vessels: • Making hypertufa plant...

    Great feature, try to avoid gripping a work piece with one hand and using power tools with the other it’s asking for trouble.

      I think a lot of do-it-yourselfers have at it without the benefit of a shop class or safety instruction. "What can go wrong will go wrong"--words to live by! Some others--stop when you're tired. Remove all jewelry. Don't wear loose clothing and tie back hair. My old friend got her hair in the drill and it wasn't pretty!

      And you should always grind "downwards" , the disc shall cut itself down, the "back-kick" you got cutting the Rebar where when you did the opposite, pulled the disc upwards to the material.... I have the scars to prove things can go wrong 🤕

    Yay! Finally! A woman who uses power tools, makes awesome things, AND- doesnt talk about nothing on and on forever! I love how you explain what youre doing during the project without a bunch of unneccessary blah blah! Makes your videos very pleasant to watch! Thank you!

    I've seen quite a few DIY fountain ideas here on RUclips. Tbh, they're pretty much all ugly or way too expensive and require way too much skill/labor. But this one I like.

    It was really nice of him to cut the chicken wire for you. I've dealt with the stuff before, and the tiny pieces of wire can very easily fly up and stick you. I've never worked with it and not gotten cut at least once.

    Great job, I would like to recommend that in the future you use eye protection anytime you are using a power saw. Please always remember safety first! Thanks for sharing.

    Glad you didn’t have any injuries to your eyes since you weren’t wearing eye protection “all the time”. I’ve had two strikes against me and don’t want strike 3! Thanks for sharing your project with us.

    Drilling: Please never hold anything that you are drilling. The drill bit can skip and cut your hand. I had to go to the emergency room this summer and get three stitches in my palm because I did that. I wish I could attach a picture. The hole the drill bit made in my palm looked like spaghetti twirled. I didn’t want to stop to go get something to clamp what I was drilling. I will from now on!
    Your projects are amazing, and I love this little fountain. Will probably make one myself after a few other projects are completed.
    Best wishes to you and your husband.

      Прилетает обычно когда не ждешь. У меня перед запястьями на каждой руке по шраму в 2 сантиметра - на левой от болгарки, на правой от стамески. И они оба в одном месте под одним углом. Как будто я сложил руки в молитве ровно под 90 градусов и кто-то по ним сверху полоснул острым)

    Nice job.nJust a pointer for the next time.The first cloth was the one to use. But rather than putting on top of the bucket it should be placed in the hole and brought up the sides and extended over the edges. Then the vessel put into the hole. The extended edges get covered up with rock to disguise. This way the dirt at the sides and surrounding can't enter the bottom vessel. You can also position cobbles around the lower vessel to stabilize it in the hole.

    Your fountain is fabulous and something that anyone can build themselves. I have one suggestion, which is to create a trap door in your poultry wire by cutting a hole and placing a larger piece of poultry wire on top before you add your cobblestone. That way you can service your pump, clear out any debris or replace the pump if it quits. I do recommend pumps that turn themselves off if the water runs dry. I love your water feature and your great way of showing people how you built it, and the way that you custom cut the bamboo. Nicely done!

    La rejilla de varillas de hierro de construcción con el tiempo se oxidan con el contacto del agua, y manchan el agua de la fuente, podrías intentar con plástico o acero inoxidable. También es buena idea dejar un espacio para meter la mano y dar mantenimiento a la bomba de agua sumergible.
