[@flaggism]

I have been vintage and steam punk from the 80s to now and i am now copying you,,Thank You.....

[@DIYGene]

Thank you again! I hope you find inspiration from some of these projects.

This is fun because you are the pro. We are couch warriors. Love the videos!

[@DIYGene]

Hi, this was something I have wanted to do for a long time. It sits on the deck and really helps when we are grilling plus it’s just fun.

I LOVE NORTHERN TOOL COMPANY!!!! I HAVE ONE OF THEIR CATALOGS.

Rather than using a contact adhesive, you can use construction adhesive. Get the kind that is in a tube, and is dispensed using a caulk gun. The dry time is long enough for you to be able to position, and if necessary, reposition your pieces before it dries. You can also wipe on a very thin bead of paintable caulk along the exposed seams or edges to make it even more weather resistant.

[@DIYGene]

That is an excellent suggestion!

[@jerryd2621]

Brother, thank you. Well done. I never realized how great a tool a break is. I've been looking to do exactly this with a working pump gonna follow your lead and just add on. Again great work.

[@DIYGene]

Thanks so much. I really enjoyed this project. Thanks for watching.

[@manuelmartinez-gq4ij]

Keep building, I love these ideas. I’m starting my fridge today.

We purchased our property from an old friend who restores old vehicles. He built a storefront of an old gas station ( ca 1940’s ) complete with a rusted out old vehicle. I’ve been looking for a guideline to make a gas pump similar to what you’ve built. Another one of your videos came up on my feed and I’m so glad I delved into this a bit further. Thank You!!!!

[@DIYGene]

Thank you so much for checking the videos out. I would love to see that old gas station that he built. It sounds really cool. Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for videos. Thanks again for watching.

[@PeteRondeau]

That came out really great Gene! I love the clever use of the cover plate to represent the slot for the pump nozzle.. definitely added a few techniques to my mental tool box with this one!

[@DIYGene]

Thanks Pete, I definitely learned some stuff on this project. Some the hard way. Thanks for watching.

[@RoseThistleArtworks]

That is awesome! What a GREAT idea! You could totally sell those to people. It's perfect for storing all that barbecue equipment and the stereo and plug ins are icing on the cake.

[@tufalike1796]

@@DIYGene Sadly, I lost everything in the 2008 crash, living in a small apartment since then so no hands-on projects anymore except a huge cat "tree" (little forest?, lol) for the cats made out of several real tree trunks, natural teak perches, soft natural baskets to lay in, leather and goat fur and more. So, basic tools, some muscles and real sweat to put it together... Will be moving back to US to be with my son in near future and do the steam punk projects with him, he'll LOVE it. Hugs from Belgium.

What an awesome project !!!! This came out great !!! You are very creative !! This would be cool when I get my shop built to house all my pinball machines to have in with them. I was looking for a vintage theme for my shop/mancave. Thanks for sharing !!

[@DIYGene]

This was such a fun project and you are right, it doesn’t have to be used for a grill cabinet. You could come up with a lot of cool things to do with it. If you build one, I would love to see how it turns out. Thanks so much for watching.

@@DIYGene sounds great! Yes let's do it 😁

[@paoloborgno1550]

Sir you did something special! I always take a lot out of your videos and this time even more. One addition to your project to give it even more functionality could be to use the pump as the gas feeder for the bbq. What do you think? Would it be feasible and safe? Asking for a friend 😂

[@DIYGene]

I’m not sure, but that’s a good idea. I also thought it might be fun to use a small keg and make the pump handle to poor spout.

[@DIYGene]

Now that I think about it. You could add an extension hose to the gas tank run it out of the cabinet lo the pump handle and let it clip at the bass of the handle. So the handle would stay but the hose connecter would unclip and go to the grill. Because the hose is smaller in diameter you could put insulation foam around it to make it bigger.

[@brucesherborne408]

[@musclemanmitch3380]

Wow. That is an awesome build. I too like old nostalgic pumps. This is really cool. I was hoping to hear the Bluetooth stereo and overall dimensions. Where did you get the pump handle from?

[@DIYGene]

Thanks! I made the handle out of pvc connectors you can see that at 23:15 in the video. And at the very end of the video you can hear the Bluetooth demo. It’s kinda a long video. Thanks so much for watching.

Hey Gene, I've decided to make this project for my son. He's an airline pilot. His name is Travis. If you say it's okay, I'd like to use your "Flying T" design. Also, Amazon has discontinued the gas pump globe. Any other sources that I might try??

That is so cool. If I can help, please let me know.
