Ok, not exactly woodworking but a lot of fun to make. A single use decoration for a formal dinner for a class of my son’s. Plywood and 2×4 frame with cutout for a kiddie pool. I had a guy that insulated new houses spray it with expanding foam insulation. Set a water pump in the pool and ran PVC up the back, emptying into a metal tray hidden in the foam. Black, light brown, rust red, and dark brown spray paint really brought out the stone appearance. Added some greenery and a couple plastic snakes, filled the pool and watched the water cascade down the front. It was a big hit.

-- - Jei, Rockford IL - When in doubt, spray it with WD-40 and wrap it with duct tape. The details will attend to themselves.

Looks like you had too much fun! I’m sure the kids enjoyed it too.

That looks great !!
For the last few weeks i have been thinking about building a waterfall . There isn,t much info online as to how to hook up the water to make it flow properly .
Do you have any pictures of the water hook up ?

No pics. It was a one time deal so I took a submersible pump some one had and set it in the pool with PVC pipe screwed to it and run up the back, over and into a tray. In fact the pump was to big and I had to add a cut-off valve in-line to restrist water flow to cut down on spray and splashing. The foam looked real but wouldn’t recommend it for anything long term. Soaks up too much water. Good enough for the 3 hours it had to run.
