- If you are interested in purchasing the articulating sockets with balls already installed in them email me at media@tvm.video. We have come up with a better way of doing it by using wooden golf balls instead of rubber, this makes for a bit sturdier setup.
This Video: www.tulsavideom... for inquiries about the dummy feel free to contact the team that built it using this website address.
This DIY Dummy video is presented by TVM or the Tulsa Video Magazine. We made this dummy to be used as a universal mannequin for Halloween, Christmas and other holidays made relatively cheap.
This video on how to make a dummy made from inexpensive house hold parts so we can abuse him until he breaks. Repairs can be made for a few dollars.
We will be adding a Duct tape Skin soon to this dummy. Stay tuned for the next video.
This Stunt Dummy Double was a creation of Tulsa Video Magazine's for TVM's "Gabriel."
The video explains how we made our Dummy's unique Articulating ball joints and PVC Skeleton The dummy video is one of several in our series of how to make a Stunt Dummy Double This Video and the related videos are located in our playlist called "How We Did it".
All parts are available from your local hardware and sporting goods stores, PVC, Glue, Hose Clamps, Bolts, Nuts Washers and some golf balls.
Some common tools are necessary as well as access to a grinder and heat gun.
If you have a different solution feel free to post it.
The Dummies nicknamed is "John" short for John F. Doe.

I’ll finally have a real friend now. Thank you.
Those golf ball joints are genius! I made some huge skeleton arms with PVC "bones", but was having a miserable time articulating them. I'm gonna rip out my crappy wire joints and use your system. Thanks for the idea.
Awesome glad we could help! We would love to see a video or pictures of how yours turned out! Good luck. And if you have any questions let us know.
Doug Johnson Well two years later is it still good
@@Heisenberg000. MIA, suspect he was crushed by his huge skeleton.
Eloquent solution to the joints. Well done.
You have skills my man. Completely impressed. He did an excellent job.
Thank you very much!
could you please provide pvc pipe size, and hardware size. video is great but without sizes, it makes the job very difficult. thanks
Just wondering if you have a parts list available ? - eg. Number of specific items used, sizes, widths, lengths of items used etc....
Dude! It's beautiful! I was just looking for something like this for a project! Thanks for your idea loved it!
Glad I could help!
I get endo 01 vibes good job
Can you provide a shopping list of what to buy to make this? looks like an amazing way to make an affordable mannequin
Don't you hate it when RUclipsrs do not respond to questions
@@tib9833 lol
Thx for the upload. Just what I needed 👍
Would some sort of coupling that is expanded to go around the 1" pipe work for the golf balls instead of having to heat pipe and press something in? Or maybe use a larger size of PVC? Or would the collar still restrict movement since it's not curved like the ball? I wonder if a fernco style fitting would work at all. But the rubber might prevent things from moving.
The idea in itself is kind of difficult to achieve since we are trying to be able to get something to both move and lock in location. So there needs to be some resistance, getting a pvc pipe larger than the ball itself would create a little too much freedom for articulation in my opinion. Not sure what a fernco style fitting is so not sure if that's practical or not. Rubber can be a good thing if pressure is allowed to be applied manually.
@@TulsaVideoMagazine A fernco fitting is a rubber coupling that uses metal hose clamps to tighten it on to PVC, ABS, etc in situations where solvent welds are difficult or impossible. You should be able to tighten and loosen the grip with the hose clamps, but being rubber, I'm not sure how much play the ball would get. If you just want to pose it, it might work.
Thanks, a brilliant solution
Great instructions. ✨️ Thanks 😊
Awesome, I only need to make 13 more for a Jason costume collection on display.
Good job Tulsa, looks great.
Thanks Mark. Appreciate your feedback. If you're creating a mannequin please post what yours looks like and any additional steps you took to make it!
The Bolts in my joints are NOT holding firm. They turn, therefor dont give stability to my mannequin. :(
Absolutely brilliant.
Thank you!
nicely done...♥️🤟🇮🇳
Good job!
Tulsa? Thats my hood!!! 918 all the way
Near T-Town myself. That's some great okie ingenuity. was looking for something just as this. I can see other applications with this tecnique. Well done!
sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any help you can offer me
brilliant!
Amazing job.
Thanks!

Can you please tell us what size/length bolts you are using? Thanks
Probably no hope of this getting answered but what type of bolt did you use for this? The PVC pipe size is easy enough to figure out but the bolts are harder to guess
3/8ths inch and 5/16ths inch are the sizes we would suggest. measure your two golf balls and make sure it can go through both. Ours were 3.5" to start we decided to ground the ends off ours so the ball would have more play inside the socket.
!!! This is amazing, thank you so much
Glad you like it!
bro , you are a genius !!!!!! Māuururu ( thanks ) !!!!!
awesome!!!
I was looking for pvc pipe movable joints to make a 7 foot tall Halloween pumpkin man
This is fantastic and I will make this myself. I purchased all the parts and started this morning. But it seems I bought too-short bolts. You don't mention this on the video. I bought 2-inch, and the only way they work is if I suck the bolt head about 1/8 inch or more into the golf ball. But that won't make a difference will it? Also, for the double-articulated joints, how long are those bolts? I went ahead and heated the coupling and pounded the golf ball in without dremmeling the slot first. So, right now the golf ball is loose. Is it that slot that allows the ball to lock into place?
I am hoping you will reply back ASAP. I need to make this mannequin - and possibly more - for a Thanksgiving/Christmas display this weekend!
Thank you,
Mark
Can you provide a materials list to make this
How did you get the mask made?
do you think i can use a blow torch if i don't have a heat gun?
You can you'll just have to be very delicate with it, it'll heat that plastic up quickly.
@@TulsaVideoMagazine thank you for the reply. Just over more question. The double ball is perfect for the shoulder. Your elbow joint with the golf ball, does it mimic the motion of a regular hinge joint? I imagine the ball can twist the forearm quite abit
It is similar to a hinge joint, but has both horizontal and vertical motion. SO, it'd be like having 2 door hinges one horizontal and one vertical.
With the 1-1/4 inch PVC do you still have to heat the PVC
Yes you will still need to heat the PVC. We have found that a heat gun works the best for the heating. The heat allows the PVC to wrap around the ball giving you a secure fit without the secure fit the ball will just pull out with no resistance. Keep in mind that this is the way we did our build. If you find a more creative way to do it we would like to here about it. Our goal in putting out this video was to get people thinking about ways to make the mannequin have full mobility like a human thus giving it a more life like appearance. This was the only way we found to do it affordably it is not necessarily the best way.
where can i find all those stuff？home dp？
Can you update hands for your model .Cheers
What inch pvc pipe do I use for the dummy, i tried to use 3/4 inch pvc for it but it seems to small and the golf ball is to big for the 3/4 inch connecter
Remember to heat up the ends so that you can insert the ball in. Without that process the ball will not fit in the 3/4 Inch hole. We used 3/4 Inch PVC.
+Tulsa Video Magazine I went back to it again today and it all worked thank you for the help, I will update u on my guy and how it all goes
Awesome, sounds good and good luck!
in your comment above you said you used a coupling on 1" pvc. but here you said 3/4" pvc. Which did you use?
1" PVC is used all throughout our creation, we started with 3/4" PVC all around and had to do a large amount of heating and the balls were a bit hard to insert. Use 1" for the best fit for all pieces of PVC on the design.
I have that same cap on the chair.
Small World. lol
Takes courage to admit you own something so gaudy and stupid.
This is pretty incredible. Thanks for posting, I'm gonna try to build this, but I need to save up for some of the tools first.
Awesome! It would be great to see your rendition of it and keep us updated on your progress. Always love another DIY person. Good luck!
I followed this tutorial to the letter.90% of the joints were too sloppy to hold themselves Together without secondary support mechanisms. The only saving grace of this armature working somewhat is the O rings. The O rings themselves are problematic as flat metal does not like to tighten around a slippery plastic sphere,and that’s if you can cinch it down without the O ring failing mechanically first.Honestly maybe there was a portion of this build I missed but in no way will this manikin stand upright unassisted.You can add vertical supports or you can give it bird feet but you can’t just dress it up and walk away like it was a store dummy.Love the concept but could not replicate.
hmmm would e good for stop motion
Where are the part list
Oh thank god I found SOMETHING to help me out. I need to build a skeleton of sorts to display a monster costume, and all I had to work on really was 2x4 wood... which since I don't own a circular saw I really didn't want to do... but I DO have a nifty PVC pipe cutter hand tool I could use! If you could answer my question though, I would be extremely grateful; how much weight can a skeleton like this handle, and if I need to add more weight to it, how could I stabilize it further? Thanks in advance!!
It solely depends on where the weight is distributed. if you center the weight over his torso i'd wager you could hold 15-20lbs with it but if it's heavy on his arms maybe 5lbs would be the max i'd suggest. Of course you could always tighten all of the joints more so than what we have done to give him more stability.
@@TulsaVideoMagazine yeah its... a massive costume for sure. Head is about 5lbs, arms altogether I wanna say like 2lbs with the mechanics in the hand, and the tail it has also has some heft to it. I'll make sure to tighten everything as much as possible. Thanks so much for your fast reply!!
please post your creation we are very interested when you finish it. We'd love to see it! Good luck.
@@TulsaVideoMagazine sure thing! My plan is to rig the costume up for display for Halloween so it should be sometime before then!
Awesome sounds great! Also, if you need some of those ball joints made we'd be happy to make them for you! Or anything really we can make it and ship it to you. Recently started doing this since there has been so much feedback. We will also be doing a rendition of the ball joints with a much better and cheaper alternative. Hope you check that out in the future as well!
I'm guessing u used 1 inch
How much was it to make it
We spent roughly 300$ but we bought extras, and some incorrect sizes etc. So i'd say you can do this model for about 150$ unless you're planning on casting the head the same way we did. Then you're looking at about 200$ if all is done perfectly.
build plans ?
How strong is the tension on the joints? I would like to make a judo dummy out of this that I can do takedowns and throws with. Will the golf ball joints loosen overtime or do they hold their tension? Very creative solution, Yours is the best option I've seen.
I'm trying to do the same, but for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I'm trying to find an alternative for the joints.
zbyszekroyal,
The bolt head should be burried until the head is flush with the outside of the ball. If you stick it further into the ball it wont necessarily make a difference, but when compressing the ball it could split the ball, so going too far will cause issues. We used 3-1/2" Bolts and ground off the extra length with our bench grinder. The slot is so the joint can articulate further not for keeping the ball in place. We used hose clamps to adjust the joints rigidity after compressing the clamp with our hands. Also, when you are compressing the ball into the socket be sure to use a towel and some water to compress the coupling around the ball while it's still warm, this is what will lock the ball into the socket above everything else, the hose clamp is just for insurance and to keep the joints from moving around on you. Lastly, if you didn't want to use a coupling, you could use 1-1/4" PVC and just pound the balls in directly, this will work the same way as having a coupling on 1" PVC. Just an FYI! Any other questions or do i need to elaborate on anything. Let me know!
Thank you so much for the prompt and detailed reply! You rock!! However, I'm thinking the 3-1/2" bolt is for the double articulation. I've decided that the only double articulation I want is for shoulders and perhaps one or two other joints. Seeing how my 2" bolt was too short and I had to pull it into the golf ball another 1/2 inch, and judging by what the bolt looked like when you held it up to the camera, I'm thinking the single-articulation bolt is 2 1/2". Am I right?
And one more thing: why didn't you cut two slots into the coupling instead of having two golf balls? Would two slots be too compromising of the coupling's integrity, and cause it to break?
Thanks!!!
On, one more thing. I have all the tools I need except for...... the bench grinder. Any ideas here?
+zbyszekroyal
Single articulation is yes 2.5" bolts, also, if you bought the bolts at a hardware store, generally they will exchange them just a helpful hint. The more you cut the coupling the less rigid your structure so to answer your question we found that adding an additional ball to the socket was alot better for rigidity than cutting the coupling up. The reason for the two-balled joint is to allow rotation on one half, and then horizontal and vertical movement on the other.
If you dont have access to power tools it's possible to use a Hack Saw to cut the bolts off, However this will be a very slow process and they wont be flush, which you could use a file to get them as close to flush as possible. The joints will still rotate, the issue is that the bolts will only rotate until they hit the inside of your coupling, stopping rotation. It's not completely necessary for the inner hip joints or shoulder joints to have a completely flush bolt, you will still get some rotation depending on how much excess bolt you have. The less bolt, the more rotation.
You da man (assuming you're Gabe)! Actually for all I know, you could be da men and da ladies! Thanks to everyone who's helping me!
hahaha You're welcome bud. Good Luck, if you come up with any differences you'd like to share feel free, this was our first prototype and we just cracked down on it until we got it to work. Always looking for new ideas and projects.
Can you make me 4 of them and I'll buy it from you
7 minutes.... like some sort of religion
Hes a stick scrawny guy so when he says "To get it back in, apply alot of pressure" what he actually means is just barely press on it.
N
wayyyyyy to much work. just glue or screw the pvc... way quicker, easier and works great.
These joints were made to articulate if you decide to glue or screw them together they will have no movement! Although you are absolutely correct It would be way easier and quicker.
horrible video... 90's and 45's is all you need. this is wayyyyyy to much
I appreciate your opinion. As i stated before if you want your mannequin to have 0 movement then by all means your way is the way to go. If you'd like to post your idea as a video we would love to sponsor it on our channel. Contact us if you're interested in informing the rest of the individuals trying to perform their own work in various ways. We'd love to have the extra hands helping us build and grow our channel.
Good job Tulsa, looks great.
Tulsa, i know its 5 years now but there are easier ways to articulate pvc joints than drilling thru golf ball. And by the way, 15 golf balls? kidding
