    Maybe I'm wrong but didn't Henson's staff have to sign contracts stating that they wouldn't share anything they learned about how the puppets were built. And doesn't RavageFrackle often keep certain details about his work to himself? I never meant to open a can of worms here. I just thought...

    I'm sorry I can't release this method on here. Hopefully no one is upset with me but it is Dave's livelihood. He was gratious to teach me this technique I can't betray him by giving it away. It usually costs over $1000.00 for his courses. If you have any questions you can reach him at "...
