A few years ago, I started a topic showing how I rebuilt a badly broken base for a St. Louis pump using body filler. I sent it off to be casted and the pump has been sitting upstairs laying down ever since.

Today I decided to get it standing up again. I had to make new pipes for the frame, I had a couple really bad originals to pattern off of. There are some other cast iron pieces that I will have to get recasted and obviously try to make some skins. Hopefully I can save this old girl.

Oh! Nice. Keep pokin' away Ryan! I remember when you were doing that with the base. Looks good.

You can save it Ryan, definitely worth trying. I like the dual glasses.


Thanks, Phil
