Brass Water Pump
Many people have asked when we would have a scale piece
of equipment that could be operated by a Red Wing or other
small scale engine. They wanted it to really do something.
They wanted it to be easy to build. And some wanted to be
able to make it on miniature machine equipment like
Sherline. This is what we came up with.
After a little thought and a little effort, we have designed a
nice, functional water pump. It can be used at shows to
pump water while in a bucket or on your front porch while
relaxing. It will pump about 6 oz of water per stroke.
The handle is made of Oak. The internal piston and rod
bushing are made from Delrin. The rest of the pump is
made from Brass. The base for the pump can be made
from Brass or Aluminum. I used Aluminum because it is
cheaper and has nothing to do with the function of the pump.
Every piece of the pump with the exception of the 1” x 13”
tube was machined on a Sherline 5400 mill and a Sherline
4400 lathe. I love my miniature machining equipment and
use it instead of the larger equipment anytime I can. I could
have parted the long tubing on the Sherline to get clean ends
if I would have installed the steady rest. Since that was the
only work to be done on the tubing I just used the big lathe.
