Hey could you please send me some parts ?

[chrisnotap]

@Josbaj sure.

solorstars, we used pond liner. You can buy it by the foot at pond accessory stores.

What did you use to make the small hole in the jar pls?

[chrisnotap]

@joeyhuston I used a carbide tipped drill and some water to keep the bit cool and slow speed.

whats the black thing connected to the jar

[chrisnotap]

@jake13152 there is black silicone holding the jar to the wood, a black hose connected to the brass fitting which is epoxied into the jar and the black rubber diaphragm cut out of a pond liner. I used washers from a car shock absorber, which are con-caved so as to not cut the diaphragm.
