It describes in detail the mill and the lathe, the two main tools used in constructing the armature, other cutting tools, and how the anatomical makeup of the puppet determines the armature design. The book then examines the five main types of joints jused in armatures: the sandwich plate ball-and-socket joint, the ball-and-socket collet joint, the step-block ball-and-socket and complementary swivel joint, the hinge joint, and the universal joint. Also described are the different types of metals used in armature construction. Hundreds of illustrations. |
