Adding a Hand to Bunraku Puppet Wrist Control

Video Transcript

"What we end up with is a nicely moving toggle on the business side of our grip. So the bunraku arm control is starting to look really nice here. And we can move onto adding our stumpy little fake hand. Maybe sometime we'll do a video with carving hands or making hands but basically I've cut a groove into this little piece of poplar dowel that is standing in for our hand for today's purposes that is the same thickness, width as the groove that I cut for the other side of the hasp in the arm as earlier. And you'll notice that there are two holes in my hasp which I'm going to mark on my dowel. I'm going to insert my hasp into my dowel. And then I'm going to drill down into those holes to fix the hasp onto the hand in place. So that hand can now rotate as a wrist on the arm."
