Subject: Re: PUPT: Riding a pig body puppet


Re: the pig body puppet: One more hint.  The two reins become the long sides 
of a parallelogram, the dowel that goes between the two sides (inside) the 
head and a similar (but maybe shorter piece) at the end of the reins held by 
the front puppeteer make the other parallel sides...but of course if one end 
is shorter, the parallelogram becomes a trapezoid, but never mind. It's this 
four sided figure that controls the head in all the directions you requested. 
 ALL THE JOINTS IN THE REINS SHOULD BE FLEXIBLE, BUT EASILY MADE BY OVERSIZED 
HOLD AND SCREW WITH LARGE HEAD, WASHERS, ETC.   Jim Gamble
