[TheForge] fountains

Tue Jan 22 09:17:00 2002

Dave, I made some of these when I worked at Kenneth Lynch and son in
Conn.Leaves were made from copper and brazed onto 1/2 copper pipe.Water
was carried to the top by only one pipe which had small holes drilled on
the underside as the pipe was formed horizontaly at the top. There are
pictues of these in their catalog. I can post a photo on the site. The
small amount of water dripped and fell on lower leaves which further
dispersed the flow. The final effect was like a forest in a gentle rain.
