Pump making experiment On this page you will find all kinds of information
about wooden water pumps, the craftsmanship in making such a pump and
piercing wooden trunks lengthwise. In the spring of 2019, the MOT conducted
a unique experiment, of which you can view a lot of images here. Faro
published an article about it in their magazine. Together with woodworkers
Luc Verachtert and Mathijs Huyghebaert, we manufactured a wooden water pump
from an oak tree trunk using original hand tools. Film footage of the
entire process are released here and on the MOT's YouTube channel.
