How to make a garden fountain in a day/ DIY japanese water feature

- 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...

You are a genius! This is so inspiring. I love how your husband is so supportive of you.
Great feature, try to avoid gripping a work piece with one hand and using power tools with the other it’s asking for trouble.
Well stated. 😊
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 🤕
She should always keep her hair tied back! It surprises me that she has not learned this lesson the hard way, yet!
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!
Thanks a lot, I think it's a great idea!
Great tips!
Excellent contribution - maintenance is key and any design decisions must include accessibility for maintenance. I was wondering about that as well. I saved your comment along with this video. She absolutely did an amazing job in her presentation and love this!
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.
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.
Sounds pretty scary.. Hope you're fine!
This is great advice. I had something similar happen and ended up in A&E. That scene in this video made me wince! Otherwise, great video and I can't wait to try something similar.
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)
Your garden is lovely with or without the fountain but the fountain is definitely a wonderful addition.
Thanks a lot!!
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.
Thank you! your fountain is lovely. I really enjoyed hearing the Japanese music while your little fountain was working,,,very zen like. Thanks for the inspiration.
How lovely & serene! And the sound was gentle. Some fountains can be too noisy or too complicated! There's a lot to be said for simplicity! Thank you for sharing!
What a doable project, the instructions are so clear. Thank you very much! The use of solar water pump is simply brilliant!
Your life and your garden both are beautiful like heaven
I love your fountain, I agree with a lady on here saying you should have made a trap door to service the pump and clear debris, love the location you choose as well. AWESOME job.
Just love this water feature and your plantings. Thank you.
Gary, the unsung hero.
This looks beautiful! Fantastic job!
It is fun to watch your garden come together.
Thank you for making these videos.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
THANK YOU!! That was a fantastic watch and well done you with the power tools 😮 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great Tsukubai. Creating your own Japanese garden is amazing. It's a very beautiful garden.😳😳
Thanks a lot!!
So relaxing and not too hard to manage putting together. Thank you 😊
Really nice. I love the sound of moving water. Great work!
Trimakasih sdh inspirasi buat kami. SALAM by Banyuwangi java Indonesia slalu suport 😊
Watching you from the Philippines🇵🇭 your so amazing,. I love the DIY fountain. Keep it up God bless
I am starting to think that one learns more from reading the comments than watching the actual video. I learned a lot from all the viewers. Will defnitely pay more attention to comments on videos
That is amazing!!! You are amazing!!! I've always wanted a garden fountain and you made it look so easy!!! Thank you !!!
💜👏👏👏👍👍👍🥰
Thanks a lot, Tammi!
Oh Irene! Your fountain is truly inspiring.
It's perfect, and really looks super easy to make. Thank you so much for this diy. ❤️
I love your project! I’ve been looking simple to follow and this video is just perfect. I will be working on building one for my Zen garden. Thank you. 🥳
Looks really nice, now I want one in my garden also. I like how your previous projects link with this one to show your garden evolving.
Thanks!!
This fountain is incredible! You have wonderful ideas! This little fountain is so well made -- it will last for many years!
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! I love your style of showing how you created this. Your video has such good flow, easy to follow and your project turned out so gorgeous! Well done and thank you! 😊
о, Ирина, идея про решетку из металлических прутков - аккурат то, что мне надо прямо сейчас! как раз голову ломала, что бы из подручных материалов можно было для этого использовать! Спасибо! Также и за идею с тканью...думаю, что тоже очень полезно!
Amazing tutorial - Thank you! It's exactly what I was looking to do myself, rustic and natural, tucked away, also having to deal with proper sun exposure for the pump's battery pack. Simple and yet very impressive. Thank you and greetings from Southern California! 8/28/2023
Your video is perfectly made and explained. Bravo! Exactly what I am looking for. I have already watched it several times. I found a natural stone with a large hole which will serve as my basin. I am in the process of constructing a large japanese garden of about 800m2. I have several smaller ones, for which I can share photos.
More of these videos, please!!!
I really enjoyed your video! I can’t wait to try it myself! I will also be making japanese lanterns with my own molds and concrete. Much appreciation sister!
🙋♀️❤ You are so clever! That fountain would cost a fortune in a garden store!
Замечательный фонтанчик! 😍😍👍👍
Very nicely done! Great design & looks so good in your garden. Tomorrow I will be utilizing your process to make a water feature in one of my gardens. I'm beyond excited! I did notice in your garden the fabulous hostas!!! I collect dwarf & mini hostas ~ I was delighted to see your's. Thank you for the effort you put into this tutorial! Cheers!
Great Job! I love it 😊

尊敬妳的心~謝謝制作~♡♡♡♡❤

Fajny pomysł na fontanne ogrodową. Podoba mi się fakt że wystarczy mała pompka w dodatku solarna i nie trzeba biegac z przedłużaczem😊
Wow… that is super awesome! ⛲️🙌
Very inspiring, thank you for making this video,
Thanks a lot for ideas 💡
Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the vid.
素敵ですね❤️
I just finished my fountain , following the vidéo. And it looks amazing.
Step were easy to follow , i even had the same issue with the black fabric , so i really went threw the whole same process ^^
Thanks a lot for your tutorial !!
I'm suscribing to your channel :D
Thanks a lot, glad you've liked it!!
That looks wonderful! Great job!😊
Really nice❤ thanks, God gives us such wonderful, ideas
Thank you for taking time to share this project. Looks great 👋
I just found your channel and the garden videos are AMAZING!! I can’t wait to make the baskets and fountain.
Thanks a lot!
Beautiful,.thanks ❤
This was great.❤
Nice. Good job❤❤❤❤❤
Very nice video I enjoyed it.
Hi from Australia. I love your garden pump and anything you do really :)
Thanks a lot🥰
My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day!
Beautiful channel and important topics
I hope you will focus on the most watched and replayed videos, but in different ways
I wish you more success
Beautiful...thank you for sharing. Cheers from British Columbia
love it. first video ever where it seemed so easy and doable. definately gonna try it ❤❤
Great fountain! Please ask a pro about tool safety. Using a paddle bit like that will turn your hand to hamberger and using that grinder like that will get you rebar through the foot. Please! You have a great project here! We want to see more.
I like much your project. Very beautiful.
Good job!
Totally cool.thank you from Hungary😊
I would use copper pipe and copper wire to tie things to get her as it won’t rust easily. In fact if you can find heavy nylon fishing line tied with that first, melt the ends so it stays in place and then tie the copper wire over as it’s prettier against the rebar.
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.
My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day! Keep it up! +thumb up3!
Love it and well done.
I cringed though!!.... Please don't invite injury... securely clamp the workpiece [Steel rod/ Bamboo] before cutting/drilling. Use two hands to control the powertool. Phew!
Good Job! Well done!
Your fountain is lovely! You did a wonderful job!
Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰.
Nice job and thanks for sharing..wish you success and be healthy always
