I love how so many of your tools are hand operated.

Be sure to post anything you come up with, I also make puppets when I have time, it's cool coming up with new ones.

[@hectorsigma1]

Fantastic you are a master

[@sphinxios]

i was just thinking of another way to heat up pvc cant u just put it into boiling water or isnt that enough to make plastic workable.

[@humxa24]

one tip for you, if you heat up the pipe it could even be cut with a knife so you don't have to split it with a saw

[@spcglider]

Suggestion: look for a sign-making material called SINTRA. It comes in many thicknesses and is made of PVC.

[@arifkuyucu]

Hello. Does it work with different PVC sheet? Such as Pvc used as table cloth

[@jhodapp57]

Fantastic Phil! What a great idea, you have inspired me once again.

[@mickeysmith4582]

Hello, I would like to tell you how much I have learned from your videos. I am a theatre teacher and just started a puppeting unit. I made a puppet based on your round headed puppet tutorial. I was wondering if you might make a tutorial about you pig puppet. I am interested in how the multi-shaped head is formed. Thanks and keep up the great tutorials.

[@iceandfire44]

this is brilliant. I really appreciate how little you use power tools and how much you use elbow grease. it's wonderful for watchers that don't have expensive tools at their disposal (like myself :p). thanks.

Wow! Great idea. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us.

[@jaipeitri]

I really love your videos! And your way to work... I'm a teacher and thanks to you I am going to create my own puppet for my pupils! Thank you very much!

[@loresamba]

[@mikedehooghblackflagracephotos]

Very cool.

[@manolinfx]

you are a master.
thanks for share!!

[@pinkfroth4968]

So I'm trying to make the mechanisms for a rod puppet cheap, I've made most of it like mouth, eyebrows and eyelids but how do I make eyes that move left to right?

[@jimbobseventy5030]

There are youtube videos,search " animatronic eyes", they can be complicated but they give some idea of whats involved.

[@stetoobe]

you really are a DIY genius!

[@shahramshajari4573]

Special thanks to teach

[@TomCleaver]

Brilliant! Thanks!

[@xXTheFreakWithinXx]

Power Tools .....What are power tools? lmao

[@timadams1662]

There's a couple editing errors tho but still cool

[@elenaschneider5729]

Хорошая идея ! Спасибо!

[@thomasmarshall6109]

Nice work! How do you mount the eye to the puppet?

[@PhilipStephens007]

I usually cover the PVC eye in cloth then stitch the cloth to the puppet.

[@frankcarbaandona2134]

thanks Phil!

[@PhilipStephens007]

+Frank Carbaandona . all fine and great.

[@PhilipStephens007]

Well... good question. I come from New Zealand, a very comfortable country. I gave that up to come to Colombia, a third world country. After a few years we had enough church support to be comfortable enough within this poorer context (hence the ability to have a camera and internet to be on youtube) Although Colombia is in the mid range, socioeconomics world wide, I understand what it is to be poor, as we work with the lowest rung of this society. About 4 years ago our support was cut, now we live on the same level of income, as this lowest rung of society here. So officially, that makes us economically poor. But, am I poor? I get to do what many people do not get to do. I am not a slave to some company, I get to experience things most people on the planet do not, and I am as free as one can get, within the context of a law governed nation....therefore, I am indeed, very rich.

thanks again for yet another timely inspiration. I've been trying to replace two dome shaped board game pieces that were missing from a recent Thrift Store find. The two pieces are needed to include a fourth person in the game. Your piece of wood with the oversized hole is what I was missing. I made a plaster mold of a piece and had been trying to get the Frisbee plastic to drape over my mold without any success.
