Preparing String Tubes for Bunraku Puppet Wrist Control

Video Transcript

"Coming back to your bunraku arm control, the next step in the process is to prepare the two tubed channels through which your Dacron string is going to run. That's the string that you're going to be manipulating in order to move that hand back and forth on the wrist joint. So you're going to take your one-eighth inch brass tube. You're going to be laying it along the top of your arm rod in the same line as that center line along which you attached your hinge hasp, parallel to that hinge hasp line. And that's going to extend from just behind the hinge. I do it about an inch behind the hinge on the wood, past your elbow hole. Let's say two inches approximately. That's a nice spot.
