How To Make 2 1/2" Manual Gold Dredge Henderson Water Pump

Here's a quick video showing how I've made my standard 2 1/2" manual gold dredge, also known as a Henderson pump. In the video you can also see a larger 4" pump which I cover in a separate video.

what kind of cap did you use to attach the tennis ball to and how did you secure the cap onto the pipe ?

[@GoldGrabbers]

as the inside shaft is just more pvc, I just used a pvc end cap piece from any diy shop, sealing it on with a couple of screws through the cap into the pipe and pvc cement around and over the screws, then screw a large bolt through the tennis ball and through the end cap and compress it for the desired seal
