Test run of water feature


Pump is not strong enough to really force the water out of the mouth hole, also there's about 25 feet of tubing running from the pump to the dragon.  There's more work to do on the front mouth and then the opposite side of the face however it's coming along very nicely for only the fourth piece of stone I've ever worked on.

Progression


About another four hours of work on the fountain head.  Drilled part of the spout however the drill bit isn't long enough so it's off to the local hardware store tomorrow for a masonry drill bit and more heavy duty dust masks.

Limestone dragon fountain spout WIP

Only one side has really been worked on.  The black is charcoal used to make the photo clearer.  The gray is untouched stone.  Once the piece is nearly completed I'll start figuring out how to drill the hole to turn it into a water spout thingy.  Tools used, angle grinder with a diamond grinding blade, Trow & Holden 1/2 pneumatic stone carver, various hand chisels (used for home floor tiling) and wood carving rasps.  Approx. four hours of work(?), approx. 45 lbs.
