A Steampunk style fountain with a "dancing bear". Sorry about the quality. It was shot in a hurry before I dismantled it. It was made for friends last Christmas. Copper, brass, and stainless for the most part. Driven by the waterwheel in the bottom (made of 8 tablespoons in a slotted bronze hub). Everything runs in stainless steel ball bearings. The valve does work, controlling the water flow and speed of the bear. A lot of fun to make...and I'm still amazed it actually worked! The base is wood with the pot siting on a large cast iron pipe flange.
