You could fibreglass the inside and make an emergency fibreglass panel to screw over the door opening. Obviously you are making a boat so you would need something to stop it floating off, maybe 4 pieces of channel section concreted in at the corners with 4 large castors on the shed to allow it...

I totally agree. I love to carve something different and interesting but earning peanuts and getting bored doesn't do it for me!

Many thanks for the offer. Hopefully I have got it sorted but your instructions would be much appreciated. Mike

Thanks Pete, I made one of those for a simpler shape I had to duplicate some years ago but I found there was quite a bit of cleanup and figured these hands would be even worse so I discounted that method.

Hi Phil, thanks for your interest. I can send you a link to the cnc file but I don't want to publish that on an open forum. Have you an email address I can send it to?

I'm having difficulty uploading file. It might be because I use a Chromebook and the link I uploaded from to the Chromebook didn't load properly (?). I can send you the original link directly but I don't want to publish that on an open forum.

The 3d printing sounds like it might be an option. I have a 3d file I can send you. Have you an email address?

Many thanks for your information. My thought is that the fingers of the hands would be on the ends of the pair block with the centre solid rectangle being in the centre and used for hold down, this rectangle being shaped on my bandsaw after the CNC work. I am thinking that the process might be...

Here you are: The design of the hand is not set in stone. As long as it looks like a hand and is consistent and well finished all is good.

I've got to hand it to you, that's a brilliant idea!

It seems long because in each block there is a pair of hands with 5 fingers on each end. The middle 50% is like 2 forearms that go inside the puppet costume. When I say "by hand" I mean not CNC. I am table routing the palm out and cutting/ shaping the fingers with a bandsaw and a Proxxon carving...

Can anyone put me in touch with someone that could produce some puppet hands with a CNC router? I have about 150 pairs to make and they are taking too long by hand so my mind turned to CNC and as I have zero skills in that area I thought it is time I looked for an expert! Each pair would come...

Thanks Ba! I'm from Yorkshire originally but emigrated to Framlingham 25 years ago.

Hi Guys, I have finally registered after many years of landing here on Google searches when I have had a problem to solve. I'm a bit of a Jack of all trades, so not an expert on anything but I'll have a go at most things until I hit the limit of my knowledge. Most summers are filled with time in...
