preciate the tips buck... i definately wouldnt be messing with the pole structurally... just essentially decorating it... cc

the space im planning to rent for my puppet theater has this big support pole/beam directly to the right of the stage....and although its not in the way... it is a bit unsightly... so my plan is to turn it into a faux tree...with a cute face...and a large limb that hides my lighting rig... see...

i agree....i tried creating a arm resting bar ...but my puppets have different mouth entrances...some are in the back of the neck...and some are the normal hole in the bottom....so for the ones with the hole in the back of the neck...the arm wresting bar was useless... ive actually devised a...
