This fountain is a great project and while I would love to build one I don't have a computer in my workshop to refer back to for each step. Your web page is not set up so that one could printout or download the complete article with pictures and dimentions. That's a real shame as it could be so much better with all it's wonderful contents, I am a subcriber to the family Handyman. Jon
