shoulder and elbow move vertical, as well as the thigh piece. Its portable, and dissasembles in 5 minutes.

That's an interesting statement considering how eager you generally are to post pictures of yourself even shirtless

could you show us the arm/hand mechanism? seems like this is the hardest and most impt part...the body and rest seem to be rather easy to construct....but getting the hand to spring back at the right time and energy is difficult...

The spring mechanism is not something I wish to disclose, as it took me quite a while to figure out, and if I want to market this item, I'd like for it to be unique. Also, I used some springs I found around the house from some various things, and they are very stiff. If I was to make more dummy's, I wouldnt be using the springs. They are very high maintanence and prone to finicky things.
Some people have inquired about the price of the item, so here you go.
For the arm- $30 plus S&H.
For the leg -$30 plus S&H.
The befits of the dummy are that you can attach it to almost anything with a simple lag bolt. I've attached the arm to walls, deck posts, dummy posts, and lots of other stuff. The same thing goes with the leg.
I used some sort of batting to pad the wood, but next time I'm using carpet. Its wrapped in 3 layers of duct tape to keep the stuff on, and to make it look better. I'm experimenting with ways to attach the weapon, currently, its just a hole in the wood, I rammed the tang down into it, and then filled it with epoxy.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in purchasing, just PM me.

Reason: decided to tell the true explanation.
I built one like that years ago, covered with pieces of an old neoprene wetsuit. The only adjustable part was the elbow, which had a bolt, washer and wingnut arrangement. I wish there had been a spring in the elbow or wrist, but I was lazy. On the other hand, my shop was tidy.

I assume the part on the bottom sticking out is a leg target for epeeists?
-Da Mose
Yes, the leg is an epee target.
