How do you build a wishing well?

There are many ways, you can fashion it after old wishing wells, or new ones or make your own design. If this will be a lawn fixture, you can make it round, square,octagon, what ever shape you want. EXAMPLE: You can use womanized lumber, 2x4's, cut 2x4's 1' long, you have to make many of these, drill holes in both ends 1" in from the end. If you want the well to be 30" high get some 1/4" threaded rod, lay your 20 drilled sections on there edges where the holes line up, insert the rod, now flip every other section so they point in oposite directions, take a new rod put it in the first open hole of the section you just fliped, insert a new section in the gap, continue this way until you have completed the grid securing rods with 1/4" nuts, stand on edge and bring both ends togetherand put last rod in place. you can add extra's like a roof supported by poles, you can put a wash tub inside with water, plant flowers around it. this was one way, you can build it any shape you want, the sky is the limit. Good-Luck
