mtairymd Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I built this a few years ago as one of my first woodworking projects. I can post drawings if anyone is interested. Drawings: I didn't snap a lot of pictures while making it but I recorded one leg being built. The arm and legs are similar. Final Pictures My kids created a stop motion video of it - it actually made me laugh. Thanks for viewing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My woodworking skills are slightly better now so I'm thinking about making a more complex version - maybe a robot lamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggers Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Very cool indeed! What kid wouldn't like it? I might just have to build one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 What keeps the joints stiff enough to be posable? Pretty cool, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just friction joints. I assume overtime they would loosen up. Thanks. 17 hours ago, Isaac said: I bet just friction, like a tinker toy. Correct!
