smudge65 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 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.

smudge65 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 wondered whether this might be a good shape to start with...could be spray painted? https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/small-storage-organisers/waste-sorting-bins/filur-bin-with-lid-white-art-20193899/?_ga=2.230839775.1375019163.1542494611-1244503607.1542494611 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudge65 Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
