Wow, structural engineer, woodworking, wood turning, and hydraulic engineer. You sure do wear a bunch of hats, I mean beenies. Great job.

Lol thank you Bill!

[@charlesball8872]

Sir! I’m truly impressed with this project! The fact that you either did your homework or already knew how to make a working pump is impressive in this day of high-tech gadgetry!! Having both a mechanical background , as well as having been woodworking for more than 40 years makes me not so easy to impress! Good on ya’, as our buds from Down Under would say!

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you so much Charles! I love when I get to do a bit of enginerding 😉

You and your wife are the perfect team, not sure who's the brains and who's the brawn, but you're definitely not just a couple of pretty faces, haha! Great work!

Thank you so much my friend for the support, so glad you like this one 😊

[@jacobcremins1676]

First off, your creativity and ingenuity continue to amaze! A water pump made of wood?! The color and figuring on that black walnut is gorgeous. I like how you included the flange in the middle to make it look like two pieces coupled together. Completely blown away by your craftsmanship brother! 👍 Meh!

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you so much my friend, I love when I get to do a little engineering. This one was quite special to me, I’m so glad you like it 😊

[@margaretdavis5695]

I would never have believed you could have made this completely out of wood, if I hadn't seen it, myself! Really great job, and so beautiful - love the grain of the walnut. You are really coming into your own, with these artistry projects.

Thank you Margaret! 😊

Todd you sir should be very proud of yourself the knowledge you have and the creativity you incorporate in your work can't be found in this day and age in an academic setting. If more people looked outside of the box the way you do they could reach for the stars. You may not realize it now but some kid out there will see this an it will change their world. I think this is your vision in following your channel and it is working. Beautiful work my friend thanks for a great presentation of an amazing project.

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you my friend for your kind and inspiring words, your motivation keeps me pushing my work further, and it's been soo much hard-working fun along the way. There is much joy to be found after a tough project comes out just how you wanted it and i think the world would be a much different place if these kinds of ideas were those that people embraced.
