Here is a picture of that waterfeature I mentioned in an earlier post. You can get the idea from this picture of it set up at the Home and Garden Show. Unfortunately, I fell victim to the flu and didn't get it done in time, so all of the bugs were not worked out. The middle streams ran through elbows just before the nozzles and they caused too much turbulence. I will drill and tap a bleeder screw to bleed off a trapped air bubble in the bend of the elbow, hopefully that will have all streams running smoothly. You just never know what you will come up against with these things until you get a chance to run them. I do enjoy the challenge of figuring out all of the engineering and assembly though.
Those long arcs were the pieces where the Beverly Shear was really useful. What a wonderful tool!
The show has ended so I'll be bringing this back into the shop to put the finishing touches on it. Maybe a couple more pics then. |
