Things to Make & Do: Rotation Neck Joint Ed.

Hmmmm....

The extra rod/look up bit looks great! I've used a simialr setup for upper leg/hip joints, instead of the little hook and metal rigging. I use round wooden toothpicks though. Cheap, easy to work with, and I have a bit for my pin vice that's the exact proper size.

WOW THAT LOOKS GREAT! I just wished it was cast in flesh tone. Can't wait to see it done!

I have lots of dye but was told most folks like to paint the heads.
This would have to be because use would wear off the paint right?
Good point. I have several cans of pigment. I can diet .

>Are you afraid the wood will snap?

Nah; you're dealing with such a small length of wood, and relatively low tensile pressure from the bands so the fracture point is pretty high. I've been using them for a while and haven't had a problem yet. (Famous last words....)
