The pump building from scratch is a bit harder than most think

Hi to the plan buyers! I'm going through the fabrication process for the 5th time on a home made deep well hand pump and want to warn those of you that don't have much mechanical and general machine operation skills that this might be more than you want ot bite off for a first time project. You will need to be pretty proficient at cutting steel pipe, running a drill press, cutting and assembling PVC pipe and pipe fittings and a lot of related topics.

My wife reminded me that I tend to forget that others don't have a big range of materials processing background and that I should encourage you all to buy the kit(s). Okay, here's the deal: if you order the plans set and after reading them through decide that finding all of the parts and then doing the machining necessary to build the pump isn't for you, BUT you still want a deep well hand pump I will knock off the $20 you spent on the plans from the price of the kit(s).
The kit will be simple by comparison to assemble with only a little wrench and glue work.

Thanks for reading along. Keep the questions coming to jsjuczak@gisco.net.

All for now. -Jim-
