| Does anyone know where I can find instructions to make a DIY shishi odoshi? I got some bamboo and would love to make one for my whiskey barrel.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Evelyn |

| I'm assuming you are handy and have access to basic tools like a saw and drill. If it were me, I'd just search for photos using Google, and decide which design/proportions I liked best. Just type in: "shishi odoshi" +picture Also, here is a link that gives a little info on how to make your own: |

I got one at the hardware store last year. It's made of Durium, some radioactive substance extracted from Chernobyl. ;) Oops, I mean a polyresin compound.  |

Here is one I made 2 years ago:  And an animated gif: Note this is powered by a rain barrel at the bottom of a gutter spout... so it tends to run 2 or 3 days after a rain... Azhrei |

| I am a big fan of shishi odoshi's - I did significant experimentation and created a squidoo lens on shishi odoshi design. Its pretty comprehensive. One of the books I recommend to read for creating beautiful outdoor water features is "Outdoor Water Features:16 Easy-to-build Projects For Your Yard & Garden" from Alan & Gill Bridgewater. The book can be easily found at amazon is something like 10 bucks... However, if all you want is a guide on how to design a shishi odoshi, check out the lens: http://www.squidoo.com/bamboo-fountain |
