I haven't tried using glass totems, but I used to own a crafters' mall and made a whole lot of tabletop fountains...and tabletop ones are plumbed and wired the same as full-size ones, so I know if *I can do it, so can you! Fountains are really pretty easy to put together, and I'd think you could easily do one using a glass totem...and it would be pretty!

I'll be curious to see the advice you're offered by the creative folk here!

Sounds like a lovely thing is about to be made. I would use Aquarium Glue.

GmaThyme...I just asked on the teapot totem blog about making it into a fountain. Could you give brief tips.

I made a totem bird bath last summer. I thought about making it a fountain but didn't want to take the chance of breaking the glass pieces by drilling through them. Here is a picture of it.

WOW...you ladies must have the proper drill bits for drilling through ceramics and glass. Is it carbide drills?

That fountain surely is nice!

I've made lots of the totems and bird baths (have 25 in my basement to sell) and I've never heard of Aquarium Glue?
Will it hold up better than the GEII silicone I've used? I've had one Bird B out for 2 yrs. and it has done fine.
Thanks for the advice. I'd still like to hear more.

My birdbath broke in the winter. I knew I should tip it so the water wouldn't collect and freeze, but I never got around to it somehow. I reused the base so it worked out ok. Just be careful in cold climates about collecting water in winter!
