On the first day of constructing the product, I gathered five materials (4 plastic lids, a PVC pipe). Then I soldered holes in the plastic lid and PVC pipe and soldered the bigger openings in the plastic cover. Initially, I had planned to solder the smaller holes in the plastic lid. Nevertheless, soldering an excessive amount of plastic would release hazardous gas which would be detrimental to my health, so I changed up my plan and used a drill to make the small holes instead. After that, I attached the plastic lids to the pipe to complete the look of the water fountain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the second day, I attached the pipe to the plastic bowl with a 15 W Submersible Water pump, which finishes the product.

On the second day, I secured the pipe to the plastic bowl with a 15 W Submersible Water pump, which completed the product. However, when I tested the fountain, the holes on the pipe were too high, resulting in the water splashing out of the fountain. To fix this, I taped up the existing holes and began drilling new ones at a lower position.
