  • It's the first time I make it, some details need to be adjusted for the next one if I make more. I hope this video will share you some idea how to make a bird bath fountain or at least you would make a simple one for your own. I can do it and I believe you can do it too.
    To make this video as short as I can, a couple parts of the video was trimmed off. If you need to know the detail how to make the bowl (or concrete planters), please watch my other video "DIY How to make large Concrete Planters from A to Z"

    If you offered a weekend class on how to make the spinning tables, how to make the templates, how to modify the templates to make it your own, and lastly how to construct the bowls or fountain, then I would be there in a heartbeat! Learning from you in person would be of value to me. I am not good with tools or equipment, but watching your videos really empowers me and makes me think I could do this! I am just a little nervous and like a bit of hand holding at the start of new projects.

      Just do it - worst case is you toss, break and bury $20 in material and try again. Maybe worse is you try to salvage ;-)

      I found it hard to start making the template. But after a while i just drew half the bowl's profile on paper. Added grooves/embelishments. Then traced it onto the final template.
      Start by measuring how wide/deep you want it. Then just draw away!

    You are a legend. When I get a yard, I'm going to make your pots and this bird bath. Wow. I am always nagging my Dad and my brother-in-law: Please wear hearing protection when using power tools like the one you're using in this video. Tinnitus is irreversible. WHATTT?!?!

      @texasbella576 3 роки тому +1

      My husband just got his hearing tested. After years of working in construction and shooting guns (hunting) he’s lost part of his hearing. He now has to wear hearing aids. The scary part, as the trchnician explained, all the words you cannot hear, they are eventually “erased” from your brain. She said hearing loss plays a big part in dementia.

    I think the height of the fountain is perfect. A tall fountain is wonderful because you can place any plant around the base and still be able to see the beauty of the fountain. Now all you need is to place some of your matching planters filled with plants around the base. So many options. Love this! TFS & have a great weekend!

    • @keithgeisen

      If he wanted to lower the fountain all he would have to do is take it apart and dig down 6 to 10" below the base plate - then reassemble and like you said plant his flowers - he is amazing with such wonderful ideas!

    Well done! So inspiring! I especially like the hand feature on top. I agree with you about shortening the bottom stand (by half, i think). It would give it a more balanced look. I marvelled at your forethought when designing the indentations with the blue tubing etc..

    Thank you so very much. I see these pots all the time and they charge like $500-600 or more in chic NYC shops $1000+. And I know the cost of cement and if you have patience and strength or some friends to help...So much cheaper. And you do it yourself. Great job.
    For those wanting supplies - go to your local concrete mortar type shop...they may have the molds and you can skip the sand bit.

I like that you used perlite to make it lighter - I'm an old lady so it matters how heavy it is. Thank you - I think your spinning table and pattern tool is ingenious - makes for a great looking bowl. All your tricks and trap doors add up to one UNIQUE fountain. Thx!:)
