petrol pump

[smudge65]

Hi

Been thinking about making a petrol pump for outside play. I want it to be fairly long lasting so thinking of reusing old furniture of some sort. Has anyone already had a go at making one and be willing to share picture or how they went about it.

Thank you.

Have you had a look on Pinterest?  I always go there first when I need ideas.

Thank you they look great, think I may be over ambitious would love something 3d ideally that can be moved to different areas. I've set hubby the task of making one for start of new term,  i've been set the job of finding the nozzle, amazon here I come!

wondered whether this might be a good shape to start with...could be spray painted?

Finleysmaid, you've made my husband very happy as he was planning to make one from scratch but this looks like a good start. Thank you.

Finleysmaid, the finished pump

WOW fantastic! I love it when's he going in to production? Looks like the bin worked well ...how did he do the pump?

Got a nozzle from good old Amazon and hooked onto coat hook! The nozzle is quite big and stiff to use but my current lot need to develop finger strength so i'll just pretend it was all planned that way
