When that one is ready and taken out of its mould, I take a chimney pipe or street pipe and place it on top of the foot.
Again it is important to work on a water pas surface.

Then I start to apply cement all around the pipe and at the same time gluing the pipe to the foot. I do this in several layers, because to do it all at once is impossible because of Newtons law! In the exact middle of the pipe I stick a sanitary tube and poor in more cement. Inside that one comes a flexible tube (don't know the English word for that)
that leads the water to the surface of the plate by means of a water pomp.

I send some pictures of the pilar; I've made also other models,I this one will look like a mushroom when mounted.
