Drilling Dowel for Bunraku Puppet Wrist Control

Video Transcript

"So, working on the bunraku arm control. I highly recommend Elvis glasses as goggles by the way. We wear them in the puppet kitchen all the time. So the next thing that you're going to do. Come over a little closer. Is you see that there's this handy groove or it's own slit in this hinge hasp. What we are going to need to do is drill two holes through our wooden arm rod so that when we do slide this guy in we can drill, we can screw two small screws. And we can we can use the same screws that are in the hasp, the hinge hasp kit from Ace Hardware. That was my product placement, to hold this little guy in place. I've switched drill bits on you. You'll notice that I'm now using a very very skinny one-sixteenth inch drill bit and that's just a pilot hole for those very very small screws. It's important to do that otherwise the wood of the dowel will probably split. So here we go. And I'm going to drill just next to my marked holes because they're right off, you can see looking at it that they're off the plane. And there you go. We'll do another one too."
