  The first video "Mechanics for special effects puppetry" (or something
like that) had alot of information for a beginner. It was great for me,
because I have very little experience working with metal. I mostly know
electronics. It showed how to do things like thread a hole. How to drill,
bend, etc. But it may be too simple for you.
  But if it shows you a few ideas that you hadn't seen before it would be
worth it. Bil DeLong , a friend with extensive mechanical puppetry
experience said it didn't give him much new information, but he said it was
worth the money for him to get the video.
