Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Wooden Hand Rod


Conrad,
I've had good luck with carburator clips.
Make a wire loop of about 1/4" (id) and insert it into the side of the  
hand.
The carburator clip fits around this loop, and a welding rod, with  
about 1/2" of the end bent at 90 degrees, can be pushed through the  
loop and then clipped on.
The rods can then be taken on and off easily, and move well as needed  
for manipulation.

Rolande
