I just recently purchased a house and am getting the keys April 16th! Yaaay! Anyway, I'll have about 13ft by 15ft space to work with- which is a better improvement to my 6ft by 6ft space I'm using presently. I made a floorplan using Grizzly. I think it is a great design and has things I want-...

If you're like me you waste about 1/3 of your Plasti Dip (because it dries) before you can use it all up. I've tried various methods and found trying to air proof it with a bag works well. Unfortunately, I found the bag I used on my last container had a little hole...thus, when I went to use the...

Do you know that the puppet you are building right now could take up to 200-450 years to biodegrade depending on what materials you used? Crazy. Happy Earth Day! Save those scraps and Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rethink. If you have any ideas to conserve the materials we use, or to recycle...

Puppeteers Unite has posted a video on making a puppet blinking eye mechanism- very basic, and informative. This is not my design- it was taken from various sources on the net. I just wanted to show it visually to those who have difficulty envisioning the steps, or how things are built. Enjoy...

For all of you who frequent this forum: you may or may not know that NICK (aka Nick Kirchmar) hadn't been feeling well over the last couple of months. Turns out he is really sick, and had to go into surgery a couple of days ago. NICK contacted me via Facebook, and asked me to inform everyone...

Hey everyone, I had a bunch of people asking me about the foam pattern I used for the 2 hour puppet I built some time ago. Well, I managed to post it free for anyone interested- the patterns are very poor, I have to admit; as it is a old pattern and never meant to be used publicly...Andrew at...
