Well pump as a model.

The connecting rod to the pulley is finished.

I think I'll paint it green.

That's looking great and moving great. What are you going to mount it on after painting it?

Hello Sanjay,

I built a box out of wood. Out of plywood, I don't know what it's called where you live. In hardware stores, the coated plywood is called "Siebdruckplatte."
Inside the box is a waterproof plastic container.

That's a great water pump. I like the magnetic latch approach on the base access panel. Very neat!

Very nice- coated, plywood, that's new to me!

The pump pumps water. No beer!

Hello Michael,

Nice work, a fine looking model hand pump. I am sure you could modify it to pump beer.   

I have not seen a hand pump with an external engine drive before; were they more common over on the continent?

That works Well

I have a hit and miss engine that was mainly used for driving similar pumps so when the engine is complete I will also make a pump. Very common to have engine driven pump jacks in the US.

One of the German suppliers now does what looks to be quite a nice casting set.

Beautiful pump, Michael!  And it certainly moves the water nicely!

Well done Michael, looks great and something unusual to see on the forum, I like the colour and the motion!

[Dave Otto]

Very nice!

[Michael S.]

Thank you for the kind words.

I'm only familiar with the pumps Jason presented here.

The pump I built here isn't well-known in my area. Maybe it's just an idea from the manufacturer of the castings.

Thats awesome!

Excellent Michael, I really enjoyed the video - very nice way of showcasing an engine as well, having it drive the pump that way.
